Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Camera Labs has posted a review of the Pentax K200D.
While there are a number of aspects to weigh-up, the choice between the K200D and rival DSLRs really boils down to how much you value build quality and Live View. If you want a tough, weatherproof DSLR at a low price, then buy the K200D. If however you’d prefer a smaller, lighter DSLR with Live View capabilities, then go for one of its rivals.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio M50.
As an entry level camera, the Pentax M50 puts in a remarkably good performance that matches that of more expensive cameras. In particular the high ISO performance is impressive.
Photography Review has posted a review of the Pentax K200D.
The Pentax K200D is a great digital SLR for beginner, amateur or casual photographers. It’s a very well built camera that reaches out to the beginner crowd. But there are also plenty of “pro” level features that a photographer can grow into.

PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the entry-level Pentax K200D.
Just like the Pentax K100D Super, the K200D ticks very nearly all of the boxes for those wanting an easy to use DSLR that delivers images you’ll want to keep straight out of the camera, and with the minimum of user input and effort to boot.

DP Review has posted a review of the Pentax K20D.
It offers a very pleasant, near pro-level, photographic experience at a reasonable cost and in a body that feels solid, well built and as if it was designed by someone who used one themselves.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio V20.
The Optio V20 is an attractively designed and well made ultra-compact camera, and the 5x zoom, large wide-view monitor screen and simple control interface make it versatile and pleasant to use, although it lacks a number of useful features, including effective image stabilisation.
Think Camera has posted a review of the Pentax K20D.
All in all, the Pentax K20D is a decent camera with enough features to keep top-end enthusiasts, travel photographers and possibly even some pros happy. It’s not the 14.6megapixel sensor that makes this the camera what it is, that almost doesn’t matter – it’s the combination of intuitive layout, functions and relative ease of use.

Pentax has issued a firmware update for the K20D. According to DP Review, the firmware “addresses the problem characterized on the DPReview forums in which ‘hot’ pixels could appear when the 2-second self times was used.” The official party line is that new firmware “[m]inimize[s] the noise when taking picture with 2 seconds self-timer mode.” It is available here for download.
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio S12.
Like its predecessors the Optio S12 is a very well made and easy to use camera, with a nice simple design that continues to look good even five years after its initial launch. Although it lacks image stabilisation, it makes up for it with numerous other fun and useful features.
The Online Photographer has posted Part 4 (on low light AF) of its report on the Pentax K20D.
It wasn’t “so fast I didn’t notice.” But I’d describe it as “fast.” More important, it was positive. By that I mean that when I pressed the button halfway, the mechanism almost always made one direct move to focus, and stayed there.
