Pentax K200D camera review

The Pentax K200D has a 2.7-inch LCD display with 230,000 pixels and a 160-degree horizontal/vertical viewing angle. The viewfinder is a lightweight pentamirror TTL optical design with 96% field of view, 0.85x magnification, diopter adjustment from -2.5m-1 to +1.5m-1, and a Natural-Bright-Matte II focusing screen. The Pentax K200D maintains the autofocus system of the K10D/K100D, Pentax's SAFOX VIII phase matching system with 11 autofocus points.

Auto exposure metering choices are 16-segment multi, center-weighted, and spot. Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/4,000 second are possible, and there's also a dedicated bulb mode. ISO sensitivity varies from a minimum of 100 to 1,600 equivalent, in full-stop increments, or in whatever increments EV compensation is set to.


In addition to the usual Program, Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority and metered Manual exposure modes, the Pentax K200D adds the SV (Sensitivity-priority) exposure mode first seen in the K10D, allowing you to select an ISO sensitivity and have the camera select an appropriate shutter speed and aperture.
