Pentax K200D Digital SLR Review

The K200D carries on what the K100D started and is still a better build quality than the nearest rivals with its metal chassis. This does make the camera heavier, but I can let that slide for a more durable camera.

The lens mount is metal which is standard on any camera these days, but the lenses usually have a plastic mount. Kits for the K200D are available and the advantage of this is the 18-55mm lens having a metal mount as well. This promotes longevity and I think it's a great idea which could be a purchasing decider.

Pentax have also been kind enough to fit it with dust and weatherproof rubber seals in the battery bay and card door.

The K200D retains the previous battery compatibility of four AA batteries. This would've been a disadvantage in the past with the lack of power compared to dedicated Lithium Ion batteries that rivals accept.

However, battery technology has increased in recent years and while rechargeable batteries are still not necessarily as powerful, they've attained a significantly higher rate of performance.
