Pentax K200d

It’s got the 10.2 megapixels, it’s got the real image engine, it’s got the increased control with expanded dynamic range and the full backward lens compatibility; the Pentax K200d even comes with rack and pinion steering and dual overhead cams - this baby has it all! And last night Kristin and I purchased one. This is obviously way too much camera for the photographic skills I posses, but I am very excited to learn what I can and grow with it. I became intrigued with the Pentax when a friend of mine, Blake Defieux, purchased the k10d version and told me all about the bells and whistles it possessed; and one of the strongest assets of the Pentax is its ability to interchange lenses from the past 60+ years, which I think really helps make it into a neat little hobby. This camera is also easy enough for Kristin to use for those everyday shots when needed. I have much learning to do but I am very excited and eager to learn the k200d’s capabilities and see what kind of fun we can have with it.

  4. I hope you didn’t find what I found when I bought my fancy-schmancy camera .. I have no photographic skills but at least could blame it on the poor equipment. Too bad all you had to take the first few shots was haze in the air.

  5. Trust me when I say you will see very little improvement in my skills - I’m just hoping technology can help me out!
