[i speak in math]

I recently purchased the k200d witht he 18-55mm kit lens and absolutely love it (of course, it is my first dslr so that may be why). You can check out some of my shots in my signiture link if you feel like it.

I picked mine up from amazon.com for $540 -- there was a $100 rebate that just ended. It was too good a deal to pass up. Amazon has it for $640 which is still pretty good. Pentax might start another deal soon so I'd wait a bit.

My only complaint about the camera would be the noise at 800-1600 ISO. There seems to be a lot of it. I usually shoot handheld though, so maybe a tripod would reduce that.
