A few seconds, but depending on the brand/speed/type of media card you are using

[WhatDigitalCamera]

Yes they will.

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.

The button to view the pictures you have taken is the one marked by the green triangle icon to the bottom left of the screen.

But if you mean Live View, where you can see the view on the screen before you take the picture, this camera does not offer that feature.

depends on money..

I can recommend K20D + sigma 17-70 + pentax DA55-300 + FA50/1.4 + AF36FGZ flash.. wery usable and universal combo :)

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

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.

Flash DOES pop up automatically if you're changing Fn settings to auto flash mode.

[shaolin95]

Yes.

[pciades]

can the top lcd be illuminated???
