Ned Bunnell has posted some images of Pentax AF-200FG entry level flash unit announced yesterday mounted on the K10D body to show its relative size. Pretty compact solution for those who feels that built-in flash insufficient.
With a guide number of 28 at ISO 200 (the lowest ISO setting for the same day announced K100D Super entry-level DSLR) Pentax AF-200FG P-TTL flash is almost twice more powerful than built-in flash. Also it stands higher providing bigger angle between the camera’s optical axis and the flash to prevent “red eye” effect.
Pentax AF-200FG will be available September 1, 2007 for $149.95. If you need more power, bounce head and other pro features, you should consider AF-360FGZ or AF-540FGZ flashguns.
Update: Impress Watch have published the photo of AF-200FG clipped on the K100D Super with DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 “kit” lens.

Excellent — this is a perfect step towards dropping the built-in flash from a future model.

Almost useless Pentax engineers should look at the Nikon SB400 to see what they should have built.
