Owner note

Why people still want it

Pentax K-m (K2000) is a Pentax compact worth checking when the price, SD/SDHC card, battery setup, and condition all make sense. The main appeal is an easy real-camera workflow with APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm) CCD and Pentax K-mount interchangeable lens mount.

Before you overpay

Check that the lens extends and retracts smoothly, flash fires, screen is readable, buttons respond, and the battery door closes firmly. Confirm Pentax model-specific rechargeable battery, the charger or AA plan, and SD/SDHC card before comparing prices.

Best use

Best for casual snapshots, daylight walks, simple flash photos, and anyone who wants a real-camera feel without a complicated setup.

What to compare

Compare it with nearby Pentax Optio models plus Canon ELPH / IXUS, Nikon COOLPIX, and Sony Cyber-shot pocket cameras. A complete working kit usually beats a better-looking model name.
