i browsed thru the forum & have not found too many threads on the K200D. I have one on the way i'm looking for hints on caring for & cleaning the camera. things to watch out for. any idiosynchroncies & especially on how to use my manuel 35mm lenses from my old K1000 cameras.with this camera. the K20 was more than i wanted to spend right now & the few K100's i found were not that much cheaper than the K200's. i'm also assuming that the K200 is an upgraded K100.
