The entry-level series of Pentax digital SLR cameras continues with the
introduction of the new K200D, featuring the acclaimed Pentax Shake
Reduction (SR) system. Blurred hand-held photographs, particularly with
telephotos or longer exposure times, are a thing of the past. Two
sensors are used by the SR system to detect any vibrations and
compensate for any movement by the 10.2Mp CCD. This blurring protection
system occurs directly at the CCD saving the user from having to acquire
expensive special lenses. Thanks to the Pentax K-mount bayonet virtually
any Pentax lens can be used with the new K200D digital SLR. The exciting
news is that the new series of Pentax SDM lenses with ultrasonic
autofocus are completely compatible with a new entry-level class camera.
The extensive features of the K200D equally address the needs of the
entry level or photo enthusiast: for example, the highly precise 11
point autofocus system or the sensitivity setting up to a low-noise
ISO1600. Thanks to the simple and logical control concept of Pentax and
use of extended Picture Modes there is almost no need to spend hours
studying the operating manuals before use.

The K200D will be available from March 2008 at a RRP of £579.99 with
