600grams!!! Too heavy and too bigger.
As for "normal" (with the exception of the Oly 420) mounts it is smaller than all.
Even the 420 is only smaller in one dimension (okay, two if you can notice the difference betweeh 91,5 and 91 mm). In SR land it really is the smallest one!! It is smaller than the Oly 520.
If you compare the weight, wll okay it is 30 grams heavier than the 520. Wow, backbreaking difference,,,,
Originally posted by NorthPentax Pentax made a second entry level dSLR and it will compete against K200D.
This is a big disappointment. Why can't they ship all dSLR's with the same charger and battery I got with my K10D? Where is the new dSLR for pancake lenses?
One of the reasons people buy the K200D is because it's cheap and have weather sealing.
People would only buy this one if it's dirt cheap.
Not really sure about the entry level of teh K200D, many here and others have the opinion that the K200D is somewhat above entry level, too much in fact to get a decent market position in that area.
Tekade sells the K200D + 18-55 for exactly the same price as the KMD+kit offical price.... By the way the OFFICIAL K200D + kit price is € 799,00
I certainly hope they do not use the same "downpricing for the KMD, that would surely mean the end of tekade and Pentax.
While I agree that a sealed KMD would be nice... well K200D is still smallest and cheapest if you really want that... Sealed KMD would really kill the KxxxD series.
K200D is logical choice for those looking for an small cheap sealed dslr and not finding it in the KMD, the next step would be K200D.
