Pentax K200D

The RRP of £530 is probably a little high considering the entry-level market, but street prices of around £400 to £450 make this model more tempting. The major appeal of the Pentax K200D lies in its build quality, and it’s the tough outer casing that sets this camera apart from its competitors, as opposed to any particular digital or photographic feature.

This is one tough nut of a camera! Lovely images. Easy to use old Pentax lenses on it (thanks to the green button which you can use to set the correct shutter speed when using the aperture ring. I didn't want a large 'pro' type camera, nor a little dinky thing, so the K200D was just right.

Got this toy as my first DSLR and objective reviews from WDC or Dprvw made me take the step. lovely handling and tough&sealed construction, good image quality, top lcd and AA batteries are perfect for the travel & outdoor use I made of it. Now priced at 450 euros it's a really good deal if U can find one left!!! If you don't need a machinegun (for sport action pics..: get a EOS 1Mk II!!) or hyper-high ISO (do you take many pics of the inside of church or mounument all the time? Get a tripod!!!) just get it.
