Reviews of the Pentax K200D (with 18-55mm lens)

CNET Review
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.
