CNET editors' rating:
3.5 stars
Very good
THE GOOD
Sensor-shift image stabilization; wireless flash control; sensitivity-priority mode; dust and water resistant.
THE BAD
Inaccurate, though still pleasing colors; tends to underexpose images; no live view mode.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Pentax's K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year's model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colors keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality.
