Following are some the reviews from other websites:
“The Pentax K-m (more logically called the Pentax K2000 in some parts of the world) is Pentax’s brand new entry-level DSLR camera, slotting into the range underneath the K-m model. Designed to be small, lightweight and simple to use, the uncluttered layout and aggressive price make the Pentax Km particularly well-suited to compact camera owners looking to make the step-up to a DSLR.
Despite its budget leanings, the 10 megapixel K-m still offers some significant features, including a 2.7 inch LCD monitor, built-in Shake Reduction system to help avoid blurry photos, Dust Removal system to prevent dust from appearing, 3.5 frames per second continuous shooting, and an Auto Picture mode which promises to do most of the hard work for you.”

“The Pentax K2000 is a new 10.2 megapixel DSLR. The K2000 is geared toward entry-level shooters. The new 18-55mm and 55-200mm kit lenses both feature plastic lens mounts. The K2000 became available in November 2008 with an smc Pentax DA-L 18-55mm lens and an AF200FG flash included in the kit for a retail price of $699.95, although many retailers offer it at a significant discount. A second kit option including the smc Pentax DA-L 50-200mm lens will be available in early 2009.”
