The K200D is not enough camera for too much money. Apart from the weather sealing the Sony A200 matches or exceeds it in every regard (especially AF and buffer/fps) for around $200 less and the Nikon D80 is roughly the same price while far more camera. It's not a bad camera, just a bad value (the opposite of the K100D and K10D, which were very, very good values)
The K200D needs to be moved seriously downmarket (if that means dropping the sealing and calling it a K2000D, so be it) and replaced by an actual mid-range product. It's telling that of the K-series cameras only the K200D is rarely seen around here. I suspect there are more K2 and KX owners on the list than K200D owners. -Adam On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:46 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why do K200D or K20D need a replacement?
