Or you could get it with the kit lens for under $600 and still get an M or 2.

I, also, would not recommend buying a used kit when you can afford something new And just take your time, save some money and do some shooting and research to find the lenses that you really want/need.

Thanks for your suggestions.

What are M lenses?
28mm is not wide enough on a DSLR.

I don't want to buy kit lenses nor super zooms from third parties.

K200D nice to have but I think I may buy used K100D and better quality lenses instead.
