Pentax K2000 becomes company’s new entry model
The very recently leaked K-m Pentax DSLR is finally called the K2000, in time for the Photokina show opening today. The whole effort is in packaging the features of the K200 in a more compact body, As a result we have a 10Mp sensor, 2.7 inch LCD, sensitivity up to ISO 3200, dust removal system and in-body stabilisation.
You will only be able to get the K2000 in kit form at $700, with the DA L 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens. The battle in the entry DSLR is predicted fierce. The K2000 will fight with models like Canon’s 1000D/Rebel XS and Olympus’ E-420.
