Camera Review
I bought this camera 15 months ago, I made around 7200 exposures, and I`m really satisfied with it. I chose Pentax K200D because compared to its competitors it gave much more for the same price. My friend who owns a Canon 400D was surprised when he tried the Pentax.
I haven`t met with the problem with the low battery life; I have been using the same batteries and I can make 650-700 expos with one charge.
Mostly I shoot nature photos, the weather sealing is very useful (and you usually don`t get it with a camera of this category). Sometimes it got dirty and wet out there, and one time I tumbled down on a slippery and muddy river bank with the camera in my hand, but there was no problem.
I only miss the live view mode, when making macro shots from tricky angles, and higher speed burst mode.
Overall, I think this is the best camera in its category, and made me a Pentax fan, so my next camera will be Pentax, too!
