10.2 effective megapixels

10.2 megapixel CCD sensor offers superior image resolution with maximum control over noise.

Ultra-compact, lightweight design

One of the smallest and lightest available designs makes the K2000 perfect for spontaneity. Easy one-handed operation with a comfortable carrying weight makes transitioning from a point and shoot trouble-free.

PENTAX Auto Picture

Expect the right exposures with the settings you want. Auto Picture mode automatically calculates photographic factors to pick the best picture mode, optimizing the camera settings for any situation.

Scene modes

Ten intuitive Scene modes offer point-and-shoot ease by further optimizing the camera for common situations and subjects.

2.7 inch LCD monitor

A 2.7 inch high-resolution, wide-view LCD monitor beautifully displays your pictures, and provides intuitive, easy-to-read menus.

PENTAX-developed body-based Shake Reduction

With body-based Shake Reduction, the PENTAX SLR system will stabilize your shots, providing maximum flexibility with no compromise in optical quality. It increases your handheld shooting shutter speed range by 2.5 to 4 stops for blur-free pictures, and is compatible with every PENTAX lens ever produced.

Help Button

Leave the manual at home. The dedicated and reprogrammable Help Button on the K2000 is like having a built-in user's guide. It clearly explains camera settings to ease the transition from compact photography to DSLR mastery.

Dust Alert function

Dust Reduction and Dust Alert features eliminate the need for time-consuming retouching by minimizing dust and determining if and where any dust remains after the system is activated.

Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME)

PRIME image processing engine maximizes image properties and allows custom adjustment of image parameters, such as truer color tones, a wider dynamic range, and natural-looking high ISO images.

Full backward lens compatibility

PENTAX has manufactured over 25 million lenses in the last six decades; all DSLR bodies offer backward compatibility with every one.* Whichever lens is used, whether a most recent lens or a classic screwmount, it will faithfully capture the image desired.*With adapter for screwmount and 645/67 lenses.

Custom IMage modes

Custom IMage modes, with six preset options, offer superior control of how the PRIME processor develops images, and can be further modified to meet your needs. Get beautifully processed images in any shooting condition.

AA battery compatibility

Approximately 1,650 images can be taken when using AA size lithium batteries due to their energy-saving design. (Four Energizer lithium batteries are included with each camera.) Plus, AA power can be found anywhere in the world.

"I primarily bought this camera to get great shots of my one-year-old son in action (our point-and-shoot just couldn't keep up anymore). I've always loved photography, but could never justify the cost of a good DSLR until my husband showed me the Pentax k2000. I have not used an SLR since my 1970's …" Read Full Review »
