Pentax K200D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Really wanted to like this camera. Read a ton beforehand and it had mostly superlative reviews. I did like most everything about it except picture IQ-the most important feature in a camera.
Severe underexposure in all modes.

OK, I’ll review this purchase. To begin with I will say that 4 stars is as high as I rate anything…it’s just a thing. Earning five stars will only become a factor after much use and practical evaluation.
I am pleased with my purchase. Great value. And as with most modern hard- and software, it offers more than I need. So if it works for many years (unlike my first digital camera), I’ll be very pleased.
That’s all for now.

Every picture I took, in all level of light, outside, inside, flash, snow scene, and in every camera mode possible (14 modes?) was perfect on the camera monitor but when loaded onto my computer was very dark.
My lenses are: SMC Pentax-A, 1:1.4 50 mm and SMC Pentax Zoom, 1.4, 45mm to 125mm.
Both are fine on my Pentax MX film camera, I’ve used them for years.
Are my lenses not compatible with the K200D?
Thank you

I just couldn’t believe that a Pentax camera could be this bad and waited far too long to complain. I have wasted far too much time trying to get exposures right only to find that the pictures are way too underexposed at all the different settings attempted. I periodically get a decent picture if I crank up the ISO to a ridiculouly high 1600 for an average sunny day or use a 5.6 and a very slow shutter speed. So, what am I going to do? At this late date, buy a Nikon or a Canon and forget this disaster ever happened.

I ordered the camera, and because I used the one click it was sent to Florida where I was a year ago. I tried without success to change the shipping address. After many E-mails and calls Amazon shipped me a replacement after the camera was on it’s way back to Amazon. A totally frustrating experience.
