I like the M200 not so much because it's light, but because I'm finding
out that in many situations a prime is so much faster than a zoom -
not faster in largest aperture but faster to use. I hate pointing at
something that needs to be taken ~right now~ only to find that it's
the wrong focal length. With a prime, I know what I have - if it
won't work, I don't bother to point. I find I actually lose fewer
photos that way.
I don't have any SLR zooms at the moment. I've only ever owned one, and that's
because it was $10. At the moment I would *love* a couple of nice f/2.8 zooms,
especially an 80-200 f/2.8, but my money tree is out of season. I find primes
tend to get in the way when doing sports photography as good vantage points can
be difficult to get and changing lenses is far too time-consuming.

You really need a camera body for each lens...
