I shot with both the K200D and its big brother, the K20D. As I recall, the lower cost K200D did not offer power zoom function, but the flagship K20D does and it works, but not all of the PZ functions as found with my PZ-1p film body. The same is true with more current camera bodies. Power zoom works with my K-5 IIs, but not offered with my KP, yet it is offered with my K-1 II. If you get a flagship model, the power zoom should work.

Originally posted by Spock Only power zoom works on (some) DSLRs. What a shame the other functions aren't enabled. The auto zoom functions were ahead of their time and would be still pretty cool to use today.
I agree 100%. Now with the silent DC AF motors, these functions would work more smoothly and efficiently. Talk about fast AF, the power zoom functions also simultaneously activate AF, so when the shot is framed right AF has already been achieved!
