If you shoot RAW, the K200D is slower than the EOS 1000D and has a smaller buffer. If you shoot JPEG, the K200D is only faster for the first 4 shots, then it's far slower because you just ran out of buffer and the Canon's buffer is unlimited in JPEG. The Canon is less crippled. I'd rather have a s

Sure, sure, but 1fps, buffer or not I don't care. I don't think thre's even anything approaching a buffer on an eos1000D. Personnaly (but it heavily depends on the camera use of someone) I still "prefer" the K200D in this regard although I should say it is a bit less cripled than eos1000D. -- Thi

Of course, it can do that 1.5fps until the card's full in JPEG (or 5 RAW frames), a notable improvement over the K200D's faster but smaller buffer (unlimited at 1.5fps vs 4 frames at 2.8fps) in JPEG and both faster (1.5 vs 1.1fps) and deeper buffer (5 frame vs 4) in RAW. -Adam On Fri, Jul 11, 20

Aah, just when the rumor mill had ceased to grind, it's restarted. I know that it won't happen but this is what I'd like to see a K1000D. 1. A glass pentaprism with a good manual focus screen, (no autofocus at all). 2. A 10-14mp sensor, 3.) An exceptional metering system, but wi

I indeed think that LiveView is mandatory or about on a low-end camera, just because guys from P&S will be happy. More importantly, it needs cheap price and very good marketing exposure. Nikon is selling shedloads of D40/D40X/D60 without any liveview but they have a damn good marketing presence (n

Over here, the K200D is massively overpriced. It's not a budget camera at all. I can get a Nikon D40 for under $450CDN, or a Sony A200 (which matches or exceeds the K200D in all regards except weather sealing) for $500 or less, both of those with their respective kit lenses but a K200D just dropped

Not much after PMA there was a 'rumour' that german Pentax fan forum users met the german Pentax guys to test the K20D and they said there will be two new Pentax cams at Photokina, one with 3 digits and one with 1 digits. So K2D (since K1D existed as a prototype) is very probable and I hope the 3 d
