The Pentax K200D (S/N: 3047664) is a rugged, semi-pro grade DSLR designed for photographers who need a reliable tool that can handle the elements. Encased in a weather-sealed body with 60 separate seals, it is one of the most durable cameras in its class. It features a sought-after 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, famous for its film-like color rendering and deep tonal transitions. Equipped with Pentax’s Shake Reduction (SR) system built into the body, it provides image stabilization with any lens you attach. This kit includes the high-quality Pentax SMC FA 28-70mm f/4 AL lens (S/N: 4375812), a classic constant-aperture zoom known for its compact size and "Pentax Rendering"—offering beautiful contrast and natural skin tones across the entire zoom range.

Introductory Paragraph The Pentax K200D is a testament to Pentax’s philosophy of building "cameras for the outdoors." This specific unit (S/N: 3047664) offers a tactile and professional experience that is rare in modern entry-level DSLRs. By using a CCD sensor, the K200D produces images that feel more substantial and "alive" than many CMOS-based cameras. The included 28-70mm f/4 lens is a particular highlight; unlike standard kit zooms, its constant f/4 aperture ensures your exposure stays consistent as you zoom, while the "SMC" (Super Multi-Coating) significantly reduces flare and ghosting. It is a rugged, intentional photographic system that prioritizes image quality and durability above all else.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 3047664) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The weather seals are intact and the 10.2MP CCD sensor is clean. The Pentax FA 28-70mm f/4 lens (S/N: 4375812) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The autofocus and Shake Reduction systems have been tested and are fully operational. All buttons, dials, and the top-plate status LCD are working correctly. The battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion.

Specialist Note "The K200D is often called a 'Mini K10D' because it shares that incredible CCD sensor but in a more portable body. What I love about this S/N: 3047664 kit is the lens pairing. The FA 28-70mm f/4 is a bit of a cult classic; it’s incredibly sharp and the constant aperture is a dream for manual shooters. Because the K200D uses AA batteries, you never have to worry about finding a proprietary charger in the middle of nowhere. It’s a photographer's camera—built to be used in the real world, regardless of the weather. The colors coming out of this CCD sensor are simply stunning, especially for landscape and portrait work."
