Pentax’s K200D has been out and about for a tiny while now, but if you’re still undecided about taking the plunge on the mid-range DSLR, you may want to pay a visit to Photography Blog, which has just put the camera through its paces. On the whole, they seem to have come away pretty impressed with it, saying that it offers a “substantial number of improvements” over the previous K100D, which they state was already an excellent camera to start with. In addition to the bump to 10-megapixels, the site seems to have been particularly impressed by the camera’s new Sv shooting mode, “greatly improved battery life,” and some new dust and water-resistant weatherproof sealing. On the downside, there’s still no Live View mode, but considering the price (around $600 street), it seems like this one is a solid bet.

Hold up! Polaroid may not be dead just yet! A trusty reader was nice enough to give us some hands-on time with his new Polaroid Pogo Zink-based printer. The diminutive device is clearly meant to give us that old-school insta-print social feeling with its 2 x 3-inch photos, but results were less than a barrel o’ monkeys. Engadget reader David says that while the unit is “cute,” there’s nothing very instant about it as prints take at least 60 seconds — not including connection in or Bluetooth pairing time. On the plus side, prints are sturdy and don’t tear easily, but David couldn’t resist burning one of them just to see how the thermal paper reacted. In the end, he states this is a decent gadget for those in the know, but you’re not going to put this at the center of a celebration like you would an old-school Instamatic. Peep the gallery for David’s hands-on goodness.

[Thanks, David]
