Model Design / Appearance
The design of the K2000 is fairly standard for an SLR. It's comparatively small, crafted of black plastic, with large well labeled buttons. The only touch of visual flair on the camera is a chrome line running around near the top of the body.
Size and Handling
The K2000 is small and light for an SLR, but with a grip large enough to feel sturdy, and just enough weight to be solid. While it is still an SLR, with the substantial size and shape the format entails, the K2000 will take up less space and weigh less in a bag than many other cameras. The body is 4.8 x 3.6 x 2.7" (12.2 x 9.1 x 6.9cm), and 20.8 oz (590 grams) with the batteries inserted.
While small, the K2000 doesn't feel cramped.
Menu
The menu system of the Pentax K2000 is similar to that of the Canon SLRs. There are four tabs of menus, each with a number of sub-pages. There's Shooting, Playback, Settings and Custom. The multiple pages for each one can be browsed easily and quickly. The Custom menu allows four pages of options to personalize your experience. As with other Pentax cameras, there is a memory function, where you can define which settings are retained and which (if any) are reset when the camera is rebooted.

Ease of Use
This camera has a number of features designed to make life easier for those new to SLRs. There's a dedicated Help button (though this is customizable to control other functions) which provides information about the settings currently in use, and Auto Picture mode that will choose the appropriate scene mode for your situation. The scene modes themselves are quite numerous for an SLR, another nod to new users.
