One of the great things about the K200D is that you can fine tune the JPEG output parameters exactly to your liking or you can use one of the available presets. Normally I use the natural preset which provides just that, a natural image, then I usually add a little contrast/saturation/sharpness to suit my needs for the particular photo or you can of course shoot RAW. The AF is not as slow as some people make it seem, it's actually pretty quick in low light, in normal or good light it's very fast

Sure no problem, always glad to help out, after all that's why I posted the video! Yeah, the Pentax 18-55 is a good kit lens, I still use mine regularly. It's not dust proof, only lenses with the DA* designation are, but as long your careful (face camera down) when changing lenses you should have no problems.

Thanks! No problems whatsoever! The camera is working great and just as well as when I bought it. I've shot about 2,500 pictures already in about 1 1/2 months. Don't worry I understand you perfectly, your English is very good. =D

OK, TNX 4 the info. Out of interest this is a later version. Because they basically sold me a body & a separate lens but as a kit deal (Boxed separately) I got the SMC Pentax DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II Lens. So this one is supposed to have the dust seals in it. (MK2 model even). Although I got an open box for the body (Glass cabinet, Displayed since Saturday we saw them putting it last visit). But for $615 I can't complain. Some stores wouldn't go below $670.

HI Kris, thanks for that. The DA pentax lense focuses faster and is dust proof apparently. I just got a better deal of $615 and I'm going to go grab it now. THat's with the Pentax lens. Only thing is the body has been in their display cabnet. But hopefully that's OK. I can't see anyone mucking around with just a body only unit. I would have prefered a boxed one, but I guess there are very few left so I have to be quick. Otherwise I'd have to consider a POS K-M. ;) .-.-.

Well it all depends on your needs. The K20D mainly has a higher resolution sensor, a penta prism viewfinder, more dedicated buttons and controls, a intervalometer, and faster continuous FPS among other things.

Image tone set to natural in camera and then post process on the computer. In digital photography you will have to post process to get the best possible image quality, it's a digital darkroom.

It's the menu system, scroll all the way down till you find it, I think it's called Dust Removal or something like that. I don't have the camera in front of me right now, if you still don't get it comment back later as I shall have the camera then.

Hey! Great vid! I bought pentax k200d 3 weeks ago and it's just great. And for a great price too (body, pentax 18-55 lens and Tamron 70-300mm lens for 600€). I'm a happy panda :D

Hello, I really would like to do that but I do not want to risk getting dust on the sensor but essentially the process is the same as every SLR past and present. You just press a button on the front of the body and twist the lens on. Then to mount it you simply put it in its place and twist it on.

Simple, switch to another mode, such as the one with the Flash symbol crossed out or use one of the semi automatic modes! In AUTO, the camera will automatically use the flash whenever it feels the need to do so.
@kris1991

If you use the night shot preset and pop up the flash then yes. Otherwise you will have to manually dial in the camera settings to achieve a slow sync flash.

It's definitely fast enough to shoot kids and animals. Although in lower light you may want to consider a faster lens (f/2.8, f/1.8,etc.)

Thanks Kris, Hey I hope your around. I need a quick reply on this. I'm about to go and buy one. There all just about sold out in my area. $590 with SIgma 18-50mm or $670 with Pentax 18-55mm is there any real difference between these two lenses? Am I better off saving the money and getting the Sigma lens?

If I had of known they were selling out and that the new K-M model was so crappy sooner I would have got in quicker. But at least I got one. Thanks again. I'm sure I will have more questions yet, like how do I stop the flash from popping up in AUTO modes? :)

The K200D does not have live view so you cannot compose pictures using the LCD monitor on the back, you must use the viewfinder.

Hi.I've just bought a Pentax k200d and I have a little problem.The monitor won't turn on.I mean I can see the pictures I took,but the image I can see through the viewfinder does not appear on the monitor so that I can check the composition before taking the picture.I.m probably doing something wrong,but I don't know what.I would appreciate it if you replied.Thank you!

Hello, I'm pretty sure there is no real difference between the two lenses, but honestly I'm not sure. Either lens should be sufficient, I'd recommend the Pentax lens but if you want to save a few bucks and you will probably not notice the difference then get the Sigma.
