Pentax K200D (also K20D) is a good camera which is suited for users who want more control, hence you see that the JPEGs as well as RAWs from Pentax cameras are less processed. It has image stabilaztion built into the body where as Canikons have it in their lenses. This obviously makes the canikon lenses more costly. But the down side for Pentax is that if you want these lenses in India you wont find much options available, similarly third party lense manufacturers like Sigma and Tamron dont offer a wide choice of lenses with Pentax mounts. If you have invested heavily in Pentax lenses then probably (because your old lenses are 35mm size films but K200D has APS sensor, so a 50mm lense would be equivalent to approximately 75mm when mounted on this DSLR) its a better idea to buy Pentax because K200Ds inbody image stabilization will automatically work. I would suggest you study all these aspects. Personally I feel that Pentax cameras are slightly costlier then their equivalent Canikons but are a better choice as the cost for lense comes down drastically if you plan to buy more lenses. | |

Not sure if this needs a separate thread, but still I will go ahead and request team-bhpians to post the list of shops in Bangalore who sell photo equipment at competitive prices, these could be both B/W or grey merchandisers. If you have a prior experience (good or bad) as well as a reference it would be nice to have it posted here for benefit of other membbers. | |

Sure. I got mine from Jayesh Mehta, of FotoCircle. His shop is in Chickpet. Another person is Naresh Raheja of RK Photguide. His shop is somewhere near National Market i think. Google for them and you will get their numbers. I found Jayesh more courteous (and cheaper!) than Naresh, but in the photography circle, opinion is equally divided between who is preferred. Jayesh quotes prices via sms. You sms him the equipment you want and he replies with prices. I believe when it comes to cameras, its better to go with something that is more advanced than what you can handle, or know, currently. Gives you room to learn more. Amitoj | |
