From the other responses to this thread, I may be the only one on the list who has one.... There's really nothing to fault from my point of view. The small buffer has been commented on numerous times but it's not a limitation on the sort of photography that I do. The fact that it uses AA cells is also a plus. I don't have the kit lens - just bought the body as I already had the 16-45 zoom. The 18-55 kit lens gets pretty positive reviews. The main reason I went for the K200 rather than the K20 was the price differential here. I could have bought two K200s for the price of the higher spec model. But, having used the camera for a few months now, I have no regrets. Oh...and welcome Tony!
