The PENTAX K2000’s compact design and ease-of-use make it the perfect choice
for anyone looking to make the transition to digital SLR photography. One
of the smallest DSLR cameras on the market, the K2000’s ergonomic design
makes for easy one-handed operation. It also features a wide range of advanced
technologies, including a sophisticated Shake Reduction system and the
PENTAX-developed Auto Picture mode. Powerful learning tools like a built-in
function guide and a dedicated Help Button means that in addition to producing
better prints, the K2000 will also help make you a better photographer.

Dedicated, reprogrammable Help Button is
like having a built-in, always at the ready
user’s guide. It explains the current camera
function and setting, guiding you to learn
more about photography. It’s the ideal tool
for helping to ease the transition from
point-and-shoot to DSLR photography.

High resolution 10.2 megapixel CCD sensor
produces crisp, high resolution images.
It lets you see the smallest details, crop
to perfect your composition, and print
enlargements without taking up all the free
space on your hard drive or memory card.

PENTAX Shake Reduction system helps
deliver sharp, blur-free images. Utilizing
a free-floating image sensor, the K2000
compensates for the tiny movements your
hand makes when taking a picture. Shutter
speeds can be 2.5 to 4 stops lower and still
capture sharp images. It
is particularly helpful in
low light situations, such as when shooting
indoors without a flash, or outdoors at dawn,
dusk or nighttime. And it works with every
PENTAX SLR lens ever manufactured.

(All cameras shown full size)

Up to 3.5 frames per second capture rate means
the K2000 is able to capture fast-moving action.
