I had been never a real professional with photography, but I became getting tired of the same old point-and-shoot camera. Someday, I finally decided it was time to purchase a Pentax SLR. Before I jumped in though, I did a lot of research. I eventually reached the decision to purchase the Pentax K200D. I’ve never been one to buy an item because of its brand, because the name of an item does not necessarily determine its quality and performance. Now, I picked the Pentax K200D for many reasons which I will explain in detail below.
To begin with, the digital camera offered weather sealing. On the box, it claims that it is the only real camera in the marketplace (DSLR cameras) that is weather sealed. Though I will most likely not need this, it is usually good to get it to be on the safe side. Definitely an excellent feature for those outdoor photographers though.
Secondly, the digital camera allows users to adopt top quality JPEG and RAW photos simultaneously. Most other cameras do not offer this, and alternatively only offer medium quality JPEG photos.
On another note, the camera is like the tank of cameras. I just read many reviews from buyers of Sony and Nikon cameras, and many claimed that the cameras consisted of cheap lenses and were not very sturdy. I experienced this first hand after trying out some myself. Furthermore, the Pentax is opposite of those.
