The k200d has arrived, and it will be some time before I have the time to learn all of its ins and outs and thoroughly try it out.

My first reactions, though, is that it is no heavier than my six year old Sony, and that the controls and menus are much more intuitive. The kit lens seems very light to me--much lighter than the Zeiss lens on the old Sony or my lenses on my film Pentax. And this even though it is the heaviest camera in this class. I really have been out of the loop.
