I agree with Dave. I bought the D200 largely because I find it more intuitive to operate than any Pentax DSLR I've handled. Yes, there is a learning curve involved with the menus, but the effort is rewarded with a very customizable user experience. And most of the stuff I want easy access to, like ISO, is on a button on the body.
And on the contrary, I love the build of the D200. It's built like a tank.
