Shake Reduction feature incorporating a 10.2 megapixel CCD is compatible with any Pentax lens ever produced, including SDM lenses, minimizes the effect of camera shake Although the K200D designed mainly for family users and beginners, this SLR has a host of useful features and functions like any higher-class models.

However, the combination of high-speed aperture, in-body stabilization system, waterproof body ( it's a really cool feature, especially for my Sauna-blog), and low-noise high ISO means me much interesting that the Live View LCD, which only enables photographers to hold the camera away from their faces. Sure, the Pentax K200D is strep of some cool features such as the Live-View mode (Olympus E420, Sony A300) and its ability for using AA batteries is a little questionable. The Pentax K200 as a step-up of entry-level SLR
After Pentax K100D / K100 Super, this solidly constructed SLR camera with weather and dust resistant body can impress even advanced photographers, who are interested in serious cameras as the Canon EOS450 / Rebel Xsi or the Sony A300 / A350. I could also see this coming handy even for WA shots with small apertures as then precise focus isn't as critical as composition.In comparison with newest entry-level Digital SLR cameras such as the Nikon D60, the Sony A200, the Olympus E420 and old-fashion Canon Rebel Xti, the new Pentax K200D looks quite good. AF in live view is a bit a crapshoot unless you can absolutely hold the camera still or are using a tripod u/w. Even handholding the camera in my lap with shutter speeds as slow as 1/40 (24-105mm IS lens 105mm/ IS on), I could use that live view to get some pretty sharp pics.

As long as you have manual focus control of your lens, the ability to zoom in 10x on live view will allow you to nail that focus, especially with that large 3" LCD display. I've had a play and think it might be possible to use LiveView + Centre Point AF underwater on the 40D, but in the end the viewfinder is what its all about.Īctually, I was playing around with the live view feature on my newly purchased 40D over the weekend and actually could see this working very well for certain macro shots where you have patient subjects, calm conditions, and lots of time. The AF function is rather primitive, and I cannot see it working underwater. LiveView only was a compromize I don't want to use for much longer.Īfter playing with my 40D, I'd say ViewFinder 95% of the time. My next camera will be housed with an optical (45°) finder and optional LiveView. That's a great studio feature but you seldomly have the chance to keep the camera that stable in UW use. I couldn't imagine working with zoomed-in manual focus without a tripod. Actually, it's not exactly a shutter lag but you can't see the (moving) target while focusing. It's a different approach to photography, even in seeing and image composition.Īll LiveView implementations besides the Olympus E-330 are a bit limited regarding AF and shutter lag. LiveView is great if you are used to PnS cameras and may help in the transition to DSLR shooting. Bach to the black blanket (I've built one from bathsuit cloth with lead weight sewn along the edges). It's hard to read the LCD under those conditions. I experienced problems with ambient light close to the surface.
LiveView may be quite distracting (yet helpful, because you see what's going on around you). It's great for some situations but in general, I'm the finder type. I've used the Olympus E-330 with LiveView only for a while now (the UK-GERMANY housing doesn't feature an optical finder).
I think it all comes down to personal preference, either way is ok, it's what ever you feel comfortable with I swear by the Live view, and bought the E-330 just for that reason, and also I been use to the Oly family using them for the past several years. It is very simple to see the screen, see when you have focused, and all the nessary numbers, like your F/stops, ISO, etc, all the back of the LCD during the dives. I bring 3 batteries down, and switch out the next day, while the other charges over night.Īs for the Live view, I been shooting dig cams for the past several years, Olympus C-8080, C-5060, C5050, and always used the LCD for underwater use.
I can do 4, 60 mintues diving, 2 dives in the am and 2 dives in the pm, on the same battery. I would disagree, I have the Olympus E-330, and only use Live view. You must be really good on air to stay underwater for days Don't forget the biggest disadvantage of live view: it goes through batteries like crazy! I bet you can go through a battery in a single dive if you use live view all the time, but when you use the viewfinder, the battery lasts for days.
