Is there an image available of the special editon white model? Is it even available yet?
does anyone know the battery life as it says it takes AA batteries
The Rechargeable Batteries , Do Not Last Long in the K200D , even with the Ni-MH .
Pentax Reconmends to Use Lithium AA 4 Pack , which is going to set you back about $15 -$20
But they will take up to 1500 to 2500 pictures .
If You Do use Ni-MH , Used the Duracell Ni-MH ,
I have a few different brands AA Ni-MH ,and was Duracell is the Best Performer .
( And ,No ! I am Not Getting Any Comission )
I Have Own Canon Digital Rebel and the Nikon D50
I Presently Own a Pentax K200D ,due to the Price and the Weather Proofing , i wasn,t Expecting Much From this Camera , But It Surprised Me .
The Pentex K200D Falls in Between the Two , and You Have to Read Your Manual
Or Go on Youtube , and Search it out . Some Good Tips .
The ability to use AA batteries is key to me, as I tend to keep cameras for a long time and I want to know that this new camera will still be usable ten years from now.
And FWIW, good luck finding proprietary battery packs and/or proprietary chargers — just 5 years after you buy your proprietary dSLR.
I had this camera for a year now and I been able to use my old lens with out any problems from my film cameras. I do head shots and I also cover special events and family event and I love this camera. I find it hard to pick up my Film Pentax cameras and even My bronica. Since my bronica is Medium form time to time I still use it. The result are unreal excellent. I even used a flash head from my film camera and put it on auto and it work great. I was afraid at 1st to damage my electronic on my digital. But I got great result. I will buy a dedicate flash soon. But is nice to have a back up.
As a make up artist I like to get detail work on print and this camera is awesome.
I purchase Metz 48AF-1 Digital and a LumiQuest quick bounce and loving my result even more
