Great vid! I was wandering...does this camera have a slow sync flash mode?

[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.

Great video! Thanks.

My question is: Which one to buy? K200d or k10d?

[kris1991]

At this point, the K200D.

[kris1991]

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.

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? :)

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.

[kris1991]

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.

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. ;) .-.-.
