A 2.7" LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution is provided for reviewing images only, as the Pentax K2000 does not offer a live view mode. Images can be framed through a pentamirror viewfinder with a 96% field of view, and 0.85x magnification. Finally, the Pentax K2000 includes a "Dust Alert" function that helps the user determine if there is any dust over the imager. This is backed up by the ability to shake off dust particles using the camera's Shake Reduction mechanism, and an adhesive strip intended to capture the particles that fall from the sensor. The Pentax K2000 also features a Dust Removal system consisting of a Pentax-developed Super Protect fluorine coating on the low-pass filter that helps stop dust adhering.

The company has also included a new dedicated "Help" button on the Pentax K2000's body, functioning as a built-in user manual of sorts, and making the camera more approachable for beginners. As part of the ergonomics overhaul, Pentax has placed most controls on the right side of the camera to ease single-handed shooting.
This combination is surrounded by a newly designed body which is said to offer improved ergonomics - partly thanks to a new battery placement and overall more efficient internal packaging. The shake reduction mechanism and circuit boards have been redesigned to be more compact. The Pentax K2000's lens mount is compatible with K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2- and KAF3- lenses, and is also compatible with lenses featuring SDM autofocusing, which allows for quieter and smoother focusing.
The imager is mounted on a moving platter, which allows the Pentax K2000 to offer in-body Shake Reduction that is compatible with the majority of lenses that can be mounted on the camera. The Pentax K2000 digital SLR features a 10.2 effective megapixel APS-C sized CCD image sensor, which yields a 1.5x focal length multiplier for 35mm lenses, and passes its data to a Pentax Real Image Engine (PRIME) branded image processor.
