    Nice! I would hate if the flash popped up if I don’t want the flash to pop-up. I always force the flash off on my camera (and I love the ones that don’t have the flash at all, like the A850/A900). Pentax has a very good design. The only entry lever camera with weather sealed body and the LCD on top! To me, this is definitely the best entry lever DSLR there is.

    Does the kit lens not have a motor in it? Does the body then have a motor to compensate for old lenses that does not have motors?

    Digital Camera …
    Digital Camera doesn’t seem to shoot a lot outside in less than sunny conditions. 88% for a wheather-sealed camera is surprising, given that the Sony A200 gets 89% (which lost all the nice body controls the A100 had).

    I think so. I have an 80-200mm SMC Pentax 1:4.5 K-mount lens from back when Asahi was still part of the picture, and it will fit. You can even get an adapter for the screw mount lenses from the 60’s.

    the k200 has simple and useful AA batteries slot, others entry level slrs have proprietary batteries. This is a big advantage.

    I take your point, but the video reviews are a precis of much longer written reviews, and so don’t cover every point made in the full test. As for this vs the Nikon D60, there’s no pro Nikon bias, as you can see from our ratings: 88% for this camera and 85% for the Nikon.

    Good review, but …
    Good review, but what do you mean “11-point autofocus is not bad”? Nine of them are cross type sensors and I know of no better system. “Not bad” compared to the 3-point systems of the competitors?

    Also, why is it that you whine about too few buttons on the camera when it is a Pentax but not when it is a Nikon? The Sony models seem to have some more buttons but apart from them all entry level DSLR intentionally keep the hardware interface simple.

    It only does that if you use the camera in scene modes.
