The pentax K-Mount is a common Lens Mount! This mount even allows to produce cheaper lenses as the AF Motor is built into the camera. This camera also supports the usage of old MF lenses.

Lenses from these times won't work on a Canona SLR!

canon and nikon both have IS on lens, this does not fit well with Body IS used with Pentax, which i , more and more agree it's the way to go. Really, 3 weeks ago, i had never heard of pentax...ever. I wasn't into fotography, but then i have viewing and reviewing lots and lots of models...ultimately leading me to Canon 450D that rapidly lost my attention when i saw photo samples.Thank u Pentax.Really great K20D

2:21 a good rep who knows his gear does not need to look at bits of paper on the table!. I use this camera for my work and could talk this guy under the table!

This Pentax rep is useless... I think Nigel knows more about the spec of these cameras, he has to prompt him on most of the key features e.g. the weather sealing and raw-button of the K200D

I agree, Pentax really needs to get their marketing department sorted.

oh would it be best to use pentax lenses with this or are sigma lenses good as well?

[philphie]

would you recommend this dslr for someone coming from those old 60's analog slrs? i'd be using it for semi-pro use. obviously being my first DIGITAL slr i'd need an easy to use interface and settings but because it'll be used for semi-pro i'll need to customise it to my specific needs once i learn the tricks of the trade

hahaha he does look as though he has had a night on the town!!!

nigel trying to stay awake.

Does the K200D have bad pixel mapping as well?

[nate274]

It's a shame PENTAX doesn't advertise as much as they should here in the U.S. There is a lot of people who just have to comment on things even though they know nothing of what their commenting on. If anyhting other MFG's should produce more lenses for pentax, like Sigma for one.

I have the k20d and it's awesome
