Love this camera so much
This is my second Pentax K200D. My first is still going strong. I'd alwsys wanted a second camera I could setup only for my astrophotography and this was in the right place at the right time.

A good step up
It replaced a Pentax istDL, so it's a step up of about 3 years in technology for me. I don't mind that it's still 3-4 years old; it has all the stuff I need, and I didn't have to read much to get started with it.

Brilliant
The LCD screen on the top of the body is excellent. Didn't think I would use it much when I bought the camera but I find myself using it all the time.
Build quality is brilliant and I love the fact it is weatherproofed. It has already proven itself at the top of the Cairngorm ski resort!
Pentax has produced a superb camera for the money. I'm so glad I didn't just follow like a sheep to the Canon or Nikon counter because I think the K200d is far better than similar offerings from the big guys.

Love This Camera
I love the easy operations and the great pictures it takes. I upgraded from the Pentax K100D just for the higher megapixels. With the RAW button on the front of the camera allows you to shoot in RAW and have a JPEG also. Unlike the K100D, it automatically rotates your vertical pictures.

Great Camera!
I bought this camera last spring and I have not regretted it in anyway. The build is superb, it feels great in my hand, unlike similarly priced models from the others. The weather sealing ROCKS, I can hike with it slung over my shoulder and not worry about a drizzle killing my camera.
I do lots of long exposure on tripod stuff and my K200D does great with that too.
Best of all, any old Pentax K-Mount lens will fit and work just fine.
Bottom Line: Great camera, tons of features. (Real ones that real photographers want, not the gimmicky stuff)I LOVE my camera!!!

Bought it for my wife
OK, I don't know squat about cameras but after reading reviews I decided on this as an upgrade for my wife. She was using a Sony point and shoot. She's thrilled to death and that's all that matters. I've taken a few pictures with it and it was easy for me to figure out.

Very satified, great for my use.
Used on boats so I like the water-resistant construction, also easy to use and a good manual is provided.

Pentax K200D
I purchased this camera because I was tired of the image quality from my digital point and shoot cameras.
I had considered other DSLR makes but when I found out that the lenses from my old Pentax film SLR would work on the new Pentax DSLR.. my choice was made. After handling other DSLR cameras I like the solid feel of the Pentax.. The pictures I have taken with this new camera are far beyond my expectations ... I feel my money was well spent on the camera and the fact that I could utilize my old equipment makes it that much better deal.. I look forward to taking many photos...
