Pentax Digital SLR Camera K20

Pentax K20 - Coming as an upgrade to the K10D, the flagship Pentax K20D features a newly developed CMOS image sensor offering 14.6 effective megapixels and noise-reduction technology. Custom image functions allow users to select between six preset options and further adjust image processing, including saturation, hue, contrast and sharpness. The K20D also offers an Expanded Dynamic Range function, claimed to allow users to gain more contrast and detail in bright settings. The Pentax K20D also sports an Autofocus button, 4x or 8x zoom option, as well as a weather and dust resistant body. Other notable upgrades include a 2.7-inch LCD with adjustable brightness and Live View. The LCD is wide-view, which means you can view images approximately 160 degrees both vertically and horizontally to take full advantage of Live View.

Pentax K200 - Housed in a compact body, the new Pentax K200D contains all the technology of the K10D, and is designed for entry-level DSLR users. The K200D features a 10.2-megapixels sensor and a 2.7-inch widescreen LCD. A proprietary shake reduction system has also been incorporated, along with auto picture and various scene modes. Like the K20D, the K200D comes with a dust and weather resistant body.
