Pentax K2000 / K-m is definitely Pentax’s answer to the DSLR entry level ‘war’. The K2000 continues many of the previously trends seen in camera-downsizing, with Pentax finally following the trend of removing the top-panel LCD. It applies the K200D’s sensor but comes with a simplified control layout – meeting the needs of users coming from compact cameras – and a less sophisticated AF-system (5 points vs 11 on the K200D). The K2000 also lacks the K200D’s weather-sealing but in turn you get an ISO 3200 setting and slightly quicker continuous shooting.
The K2000’s smaller body fits perfectly in the hand and weights only 625g (22.0oz.) With and alkaline batteries SD card. It also comes with face recognition and picture stabilizing system. Other technical data: 10,2 Mp, 2,7 inch screen, ISO 100 – 3200, 1650 pictures between battery recharge.
