Rating: 
- Great step up from fixed lense
I am just getting to know this camera. So far the results have been impressive. Pentax had the best price with features esp. weatherproofing and compatibility with tons of lenses. I haven't gotten deep into the advanced capabilities of the camera but look forward to discovering more!
I only give four stars because I have not yet printed any images.

- Value/cost champion
I bought one K200 for myself and after 6 months - one more as a present. Both work just like Swiss watches. K200 has a tough solid weather-resistant body which feels well in hands. Traditionally, Pentax offers features normally met only in higher-class cameras of other vendors. Just read [...] article - that's all true :)
Also, I personally consider using AA batteries as an advantage when traveling in the backwoods.
Cons - relatively poor choice of lenses. Though, it's not so important ... Read More
Rating: - Great Camera!
I have the Pentax K1000 film and made the move to this Pentax DSLR. My Sigma lenses that I have had for several years work perfectly with this camera! The quality of pictures is amazing. The only feature I wish it had is the on-board flash sync option of rear-curtain. Otherwise, I am happy with all of its features!

- Severe underexposure at all settings!
I just couldn't believe that a Pentax camera could be this bad and waited far too long to complain.I have wasted far too much time trying to get exposures right only to find that the pictures are way too underexposed at all the different settings attempted.I periodically get a decent picture if I crank up the ISO to a ridiculouly high 1600 for an average sunny day or use a 5.6 and a very slow shutter speed.So, what am I going to do?At this late date, buy a Nikon or a Canon and forget this disaster ...

Rating: - Feature-packed camera for a great price
I had two Pentax film SLR's for over twenty years, and then came compact digital cameras. I was waiting for a reasonably priced DSLR to move up to. The Pentax K200D fit the bill.
I am able to use my three film SLR Pentax lenses on this camera - no other manufacturer supports their film lenses on their DSLR (except for the very expensive full-frame cameras).
The features are great and plentiful - too many to mention. And I do not miss the "live view" capability at all (framing your ... Read More
