For my part, I'm looking to buy my first DSLR, and am seriously considering K20, even in I have to go used (budget limitations). I found a 620$ k200 today in a local electronics store, and have been offered a used K20 with ±5000 shots.
So, if you feel like it, your impressions from using your K20 are welccome.
I really like my K20D. I don't know anything about the k200, but I know you'd really enjoy having a K20D. I haven't had it too long, but my experiences with it have been very positive. One drawback is the automatic noise reduction on long exposures (over 30 seconds I think). I took some night pictures with 20 minute exposures and I had to wait an extra 20 minutes for the camera to do it's noise reduction which was a pain, but the pics turned out well without much noise. I also changed out the focus screen which has helped with some of the manual lenses I have purhased. The dust removal system is nice to have, as is the in-camera image stability system. The K20D is a fantastic camera and won't disappoint.
