The new Pentax K2000 DSLR camera is targeting consumers who are looking for an affordable entry-level DSLR camera.
 Pentax has announced the Pentax K2000 DSLR camera (specs), designed specifically for consumers who are ready to make the transition from a point-and-shoot digital camera to digital SLR photography. The Pentax K2000 is an entry-level system consisting of the new Pentax K2000 body, the Pentax DA L 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens and the Pentax AF200FG Auto Flash.
The Pentax K2000 features a 10.2-megapixel CCD, a 2.7-inch QVGA screen and a compact design that facilitates one handed operation. The body also features the same Pentax developed Shake Reduction technology found on more advanced K series digital SLRs.
Furthermore, the Pentax K2000 offers a new Auto Picture Mode, which selects from Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Action and Night Portrait modes to tailor the camera settings for beginners. The camera also has a Dust Removal system, and a dedicated programmable help button aims to explain current camera settings to guide and teach the user about digital SLR photography.
The Pentax K2000 kit will ship in November 2008 for $700.
In early 2009, Pentax will also ship a range of new interchangeable lenses, including the Pentax DA L 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED zoom lens, the Pentax DA Star 60-250mm f/4 ED[IF] SDM lens, the Pentax DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM lens and the Pentax DA 15mm f/4 ED AL Limited lens.
