Do you think the K2000 or K200D is better?

Which one is newer? Is the K200D waterproof?

Answer
Here are the two camera specs side by side. Note the K2000 is the KM here in the UK.

Personally I would go for the K200D as the KM doesn't have the top screen which handy for reviewing your settings when using a tripod, with the KM you have to peer into the viewfinder which can be tricky sometimes, a backwards step IMHO. The KM is the newer model.

The K200D is not waterproof, but none of the Pentax DSLR (or any other for that matter) are, some are weatherproof, theres a world of difference between weatherproof and waterproof. There are not many weatherproof lenses in the Pentax range yet so its pretty academic, though they are addressing that.

Pentax has had a policy of mimicking film cameras when converting to Jpeg in camera which has received some criticism. The idea is that their system holds onto more data in the conversion (little sharpening for example), you can alter this in camera. With the KM they have reverted to a more conventional conversion with a more usable image strait out of the camera. Note this doesn't effect the RAW files which will be identical.

What's a good, new brand, and water proof video camera under $200?

I've got $200 and I'm trying to find a good camera for tornado chasing. So, I have a few questions:

#1. What's the BEST brand?
#2. What's the video camera called?
#3. How well does it do when wet (I really need a waterproof or water resistant)
#4. How much does it cost? (Has to be under $200)
#5. Where can I get it?
#6. Does it need an SD or SDHC card?

Answer
Kodak PlaySport is the camera you are looking for, it's priced $140 on Amazon (see the link below) and can record in Full HD 1080p! And of course, waterproof for your needs. It needs SDHC memory card. Buy it together as amazon suggests with additional battery and 16 GB card and you are still under $200. And reviews of the users are awesome...

I am stormchaser as well, but here in Europe, I have purchased this camera yesterday from amazon UK, can't wait to arrive :)
