The Pentax K-m (known as the K2000 in North America) is a compact, 10-megapixel digital SLR introduced in September 2008. The camera soon was offered in a special white version, the start of what later became a major Pentax theme, appealing to first-time DSLR buyers with non-traditional colors.
Despite the "entry-level" positioning, the K2000/K-m was seen as offering good value compared to its peers, aside from the lack of focus-confirmation points in the viewfinder. Despite its small size, the use of 4 size AA batteries for power put it at a weight disadvantage compared to other models using proprietary lithium battery packs. However it had good support for any of the thousands of K-mount lenses from the preceding 25 years, something that could not be said about entry level models from Nikon, for example.
The K-m was followed in 2009 by the very similar 12-megapixel Pentax K-x.
