Pentax K200D's disadvantage: viewfinder !
I'm afraid not, Terry. The K100D has only a mirror lock function for sensor cleaning. This merely locks the mirror in the up position to allow the use of blowers/sensor swabs. No vibration as in the K200D.

Pentax K200D's disadvantage: viewfinder !
:PHi Terje, Well why when I turn on Traceys K100D Super does it vibrate like my K20D? The K100D and the K100D Super are different cameras - the "Super" part refers to the fact it has had shake reduction / sensor cleaning added to its spec. It replaced the K100D mid-run.

Pentax K200D's disadvantage: viewfinder !
it had sensor cleaning added, but all K100D's have shake reduction. it was the K110D which didn't. (is this thread getting complex or what?) LOL! I never could keep up! :lol: In which case, I too am happy to stand corrected. :D

Will it perform, K20D ???
Hi Peter, Would you fill in your location details when you have time please, First of all I moved from Nikon, had D2X,D200, and moved this year after buying a K20D of which compared to the Nikon,s is a better camera all around. 1-In Camera anti-shake. 2-Lighter even with grip. 3-Build Quality...

Will it perform, K20D ???
To be honest, if I were *just* shooting fast moving sports / action then I don't think there's anything on the market (from anybody) to touch the Olympus E-3 in terms of focus speed / accuracy. It'll shoot at a respectable 5 fps and has the additional advantage of the 4/3 sensor effectively doubling...

Sensor Cleaning on K10d
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good sensor cleaner for the Pentax K10. Mine has now become quite dirty, and its starting to get really annoying, especially when taking landscape pictures that include a lot of sky. I spend ages removing the black dots, and sometimes its difficult. I have see...

Sensor Cleaning on K10d
Just a word on sensor cleaning: I am regularly (which means once in a few months) using compressed air in can. Laboratory one, though, not containing oil. There can be some liquid coming in the spray jet but if you follow the instructions (do not tilt more than 20 degrees, in other words keep it ver...

Sensor Cleaning on K10d
I too use an Arctic Butterfly http://www.visibledust.com/. I am very happy with it. I'd be very reluctant to use any form of canned compressed air on it. If you still have crud on it then try either Pentax's own sensor swabs or Visible Dust's swabs or E2 fluid and swabs from Eclipse.

K200D or K10D
[quote:3496ace15f="viewfinder"]I think there are a few more important advantages to K10 than have been mentioned..... The K10 is sealed against the ingress of damp and dirt etc and. So is the K200D! It has ove 60 seals! One other point to note is the addition of a 3rd focussing mode on the K10...

K200D or K10D
They actually have the same focus system (as well as the same sensor) so you're not missing out. The difference is that the K10D has a 3-way selector next to the lens mount whereas the K200D has a 2-way one (with the choice of AF mode being made in menus). It's a small detail but another point to th...

Flash guns for K20D
We had the same decision in the end, Pentax 540 or Metz 58. We went with the Metz in the end because:- 1. It's all Metz do, they know flash inside out so we presumed better experience = better product. 2. Extra catchlight flash on the front of the gun. 3. Slightly more powerful. 4. Ab...

Flash guns for K20D
This image shows the hot shoe of a AF540FGZ. When compared to an older analogue interface flash, you'll notice the additional electrical contact at top left. These newer flashes also have a locking pin which you can see at top right. The remaining pins are in the same configuration as older flashes ...

Pentax or Sony?
It's the other way around Matt, the K100's have IS and the K110 doesn't. You should go for the K100D super if you want a K100D since that's the only one that support the new SDM lenses. The price difrence between a K100D and a K200D is a bit more then £50 with the cashback. So get a K200D for ...
