Default K200D - Discontinued?
Is the K200D discontinued? I can't seem to find it on any of the usual online shops?

It's discontinued

According to CRK, the K-m is the replacement (WTF?)


Here's a thought: Officeworks. It's only pared with the sigma 18-50, but even paired with that, it's still cheaper than C&N entry level bodies

What about a Samsung GX-20? Under 1k for a body according to shopbot

K20D is down to USD $695 from BHPhoto.

Interesting that some of the K20D kits are now showing as discontinued.

What's the go with your camera?

As for the dark side, I can't for the camera to arrive. Hoping it does today!!! Personally tho, you should stay with Pentax, and buy my last two lens that are for sale
