Anyone With A K200D?

[barryindallas]

I have had mine for almost three months and think it's the best DSLR for the money...bar none. I do regret that Pentax did not keep the 3200 and 6400 ISO settings from the K100D as results were not bad and less noisy that other cameras with those settings but adding 100 ISO was nice.

is it that good? I've been thinking about buying it... it seems like the best for the money from what I've seen.

I think there are a couple people around here with the K200D. I think ISO 3200 on the K100D is something to avoid. I'd much rather have ISO 100.

Yep, it's that good and now Pentax gives a $100 rebate which I was not able to get since I boght the camera when it first came out. But paying only $631 for it was a great deal at Amazon.com Sure beats the bridgecams I've bought in the past. cameralabs.com has a great video review of it on their site.

Hi Barry. I too have upgraded to the K200D, myself from the Fuji S9600 and have no regrets. From the limited time I have had to use it due to work commitments. I love it. The pictures are so much clearer. I have the Pentax 18 - 55 zoom that came with it and have managed to pick up a brand new Sigma 70 - 300 APO lens for $165 on Ebay. Just bought 2 ME Supers with 50mm F1.7 lens and a few other assd Macro, and zoom lens and bits and pieces for Pentax from a guy at work for $100 so I am gradually picking up all that I need. Not worried about the cameras, just wanted the lenses. One is a 120 - 600mm zoom Koboron lens. Not sure what it is like but I will have fun trying it out on the wild birds in the back yard.
Cheers
Tony

There is an under-used Pentax photo thread in the galleries that could use some posts.
