The Pentax K2000 is designed to be an easy to use DSLR, at an easy to own price, for those looking to step up from point and shoot cameras.
The K2000 is not only built for those looking to upgrade into DSLR photography, it is also one of the lightest DSLR cameras on the market. It is so light, in fact, that it is possible to shoot one-handed, and still obtain great results. To ease the transition into DSLR photography, the K2000 even offers a dedicated help button that Pentax says allows you to "leave the manual at home." According to Pentax, the camera's help system "is like having a built-in user’s guide. It clearly explains camera settings to ease the transition from compact photography to DSLR mastery."
Features include:
- 10.2 megapixel sensor
- Pentax "Auto Picture" system to help beginners get correct exposures every time
- 10 scene modes for help with common shooting situations
- Pentax shake reduction system
- Backwards compatibility with Pentax lenses
