I agree with getting into a shop and trying them in your hands and seeing which you like the most, I personally preferred the K200D and got that last week

The K200D is a little smaller and I believe has a smaller buffer which affect continuous shooting if thats a concern, it also uses AA batteries which to me was a plus as you can pick them up anywhere if you run out of rechargeable, but for others thats a minus, again a matter of preference.

The K200D also has more auto and scene settings which is good if you have family who may want to take shots at times and for while your learning how to control the camera yourself.

Choosing which one is never easy and it really comes down to the individual and there needs, good luck
