pentax k-m

In this third list we present is quite small camera Pentax Km (K2000). Apparently inspired by Canon Pentax when creating 1000D, because Pentax is also experiencing the same thing. Its flagship product in the entry-level class, K200D seems to be too expensive and make the Pentax had launched yet another product that is cheaper than K200D. Consequently born Pentax Km, with the characteristics of no longer wearing weather sealed body, and create a new kit lens smaller and lighter. Pentax the stabilizer on the CCD sensor 10 MP, so that means all lenses mounted on the Pentax body will feel the effects of up to 3 stops of stabilization. Version efficient means of course there are aspects that reduced, in this case the number of AF points on the Pentax Km is only 5 points only (compared to 11 points on the K200D). But 5 points because there are still relatively flexible when the camera is used vertically or horizontally photographing. ISO about any Pentax is capable of achieving ISO 3200 is quite impressive for a camera of this class. This is the only DSLR with 4 AA batteries power.

Overall performance and performance matching the K200D, it burst even beat K200D with 3.5 fps which is very good for this cheap camera. LCD screens also seemed relieved by the size of 2.7 inches.
