Pentax K200D
$700.00
Released June, 2008
The Pros:Much better than average body quality for this type/style, with sealed body. Backwards compatible with many Pentax lenses. Consistently accurate light metering performance.
The Cons:Lacks live view photo mode. Lacks Kelvin white balance adjustment, expected at this price. Slower than average continuous-shoot mode.
The Pentax Optio K200D is a 12 megapixel digital SLR aimed at novice photographers taking the leap into the realm of dSLR photography, but even more advanced users will appreciate features like in-camera shake reduction and dust removal systems.

st23r:
#pentax_k200d it's not on the Optio line.
it's the 'pentax k200d' not the 'pentax optio k200d'. the 'optio' part is only used in Pentax compact cameras.
also, it's 10mp, not 12.
