The new PENTAX K200D dSLR is designed for the novice photographer. Yet it includes many advanced features including a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a weather-resistant body and in-body anti shake & dust removal systems. As the replacement for the K100D the K200D is chock-full of user-friendly features and sophisticated functions borrowed from higher-class models. Even digital camera newbies will enjoy the advanced features of this new model.
PENTAX uses a 10.2-megapixel CCD image sensor in the K200D. All that resolution means you can print larger and sharper images that ever before. The high resolution CCD combines with a DDR2 memory image buffer to give quick capture rates up to 2.8 frames per second. The body of the K200D is designed so that every button and dial is in easy reach. This makes shooting a simple, intuitive operation.
The new model has a larger LCD than previous models, now up to 2.7 inch LCD, keeping it in line with its competitors, though not the largest, while the new Dynamic Range Enlargement feature is also something we’ve seen in Nikon and Sony models for example. Another addition that brings the K200D up to speed with its rivals is the Dust Detect feature that allows you to check the sensor for dust by taking a picture of a white wall or piece of paper and seeing a high-contrast lithograph-type image on the LCD. The sensor can then be cleaned if necessary.
