Has anyone used a Pentax K200D?


I'm going shopping for a new camera in the next few days, and I'm very interested in the K200D. But I can't find any reviews by anyone who has actually used one. Can anyone help?

The K200D just came out about a month ago so there probably are not many reviews out on it yet. I have a K10D and other Pentax dSLRs. I love them. I'd suggest going for a K10D or K20D if you can since it has the rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. You can get rechargeable AA's also but they have never seemed to last as long for me. The K10D is no longer made but many stores still have it in stock. I know I saw Ritz still has them. The K10D and K200D are about the same in price and features except the K200D has the AA's and more auto program modes.

I have the pentax K10D. Which is a similar camera (K200D has most of the features in a lighter weight camera). It is an excellent camera.

I ran a search at Dpreview's Pentax SLR Talk forum and came up up with quite a few hits. A few are probably K200D user first impression threads.
