It is aimed at a lower level than the K20D and features a 10 megapixel CCD image sensor (the one previously in the K10D), a 2.7 inch LCD, shake reduction, weather sealing and dust reduction technology.
The Pentax K200D will have a retail price of $800 when it becomes available in stores in March.
PENTAX K200D Digital SLR News Release Extract
With an easy-to-use interface housed in a compact body, the new PENTAX K200D contains all the advanced imaging technology of the award winning K10D, but is designed for users who may be unfamiliar with DSLR cameras but want a camera that will allow them grow as they learn about photography. With 10.2 megapixels and a 2.7 inch wide view LCD, this model features many of the award winning advancements of the PENTAX Series including:
* Auto Picture and Scene modes that offer shooting ease, while advanced modes, such as the Sv mode, allow photographers to grow with the camera.
* A weather and dust resistant body, unique in this class of cameras, that allows photographers to keep shooting even in harsh conditions.
* Custom Image functions that allow users to select between six preset options and further adjust image processing, including saturation, hue, contrast and sharpness. The K200D also offers an Expanded Dynamic Range function that allows users to gain more contrast and detail in bright settings.
* An improved Dust Reduction system that features the new Dust Alert function to pinpoint the exact location of dust particles for the photographer to remove.
* A PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as macro and telephoto photography or low light settings without a flash.
