Originally posted by Blue I got the K200d a 4 months before the K20d. However the K20d and K10d are bigger than the K200d.
I wanted a K20D when I went out to buy, that was my intention. I hadn't had it in my hands at that stage and went to the local camera store to have a look. They tried to sell me Canon and Nikon first (so, they gave me a 450D and a 100D, as well as a D60 and D80 to look at)... then they gave me the K20D and the weight of it, being completely unexpected, wrenched both my wrists to the point that I need to wear braces off and on even now, some two years later.
I didn't buy that day, it took another 3 months before I could bear to shoot with anything, let alone a dSLR, but when I saw that a local discounter had the K200D dead cheap, I just went and bought it. Best decision I ever made. I would not have been able to manage with the k20, and the Canikon models would not have satisfied.
So...bigger *and* way heavier as well. (long story to get to that one relevant sentence. I ramble, sometimes)
