Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

have a k200d that i just bought, though it hasn't arrived in the mail yet--- am wondering whether it is best for landscapes and daylight shots, due to what i am reading about it maybe being noisy at higher iso's - got this camera for couple of reasons , mostly for the ccd , and also because i know another member really likes the k200d and has four of them..... also how is it for manual focusing if i use older lenses on it ? thanks, dave

I usually try to shoot 800 ISO or less. Usually 200 ISO. As far as manual focus. These are all manually focused on the fly.













Enjoy your K200D. It's a GREAT camera.

I agree with @kkoether, it's a great camera, I used it for landscapes for a couple of years before jumping into a K-5, now it is my backup body. Some of my favourite landscapes were shot with the k200, and for landscape I'm always shooting at the lowest ISO possible, so high ISO perfomance is not an issue (but should you need it, 800 is still quite useable). Manual focusing with older lenses is great (as with all Pentax dslr), in landscape photography I do a lot of manual focusing.
This one was shot with the k200.

thanks, kk and jase, nice shots, looks encouraging .
