 Pentax K2000 Review

For those who just want to read the basics about this camera, the K2000 is a 10.2 megapixel DSLR using sensor technology borrowed from the company's previous-generation advanced cameras. Packaged as a kit with Pentax's redesigned 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DA L lens and AF-200FG external flash, the K2000 – with its AA power and SD memory – is aimed at entry-level shooters looking for compact, easy-to-use, low-priced interchangeable-lens camera.

Custom color modes, a multi-point AF system, in-body image stabilization and dust removal, and impressive battery life numbers summarize the main reasons the K2000 might end up on your shopping list. As for the shooting modes:

Pros:


* Small and light
* Uses AA batteries
* Excellent in-camera processing options
* Good high-ISO performance in terms of detail versus noise
* Improved user interface

Cons:

* Kit lens has plastic mount
* Limited continuous shooting performance
* No manual DOF preview or optional wired shutter release
* External flash has no bounce or swivel head
* AF speed and accuracy varied with lenses used during tests
