One of the first I took with my K200D, in 2008. I should never have sold that camera. Its been replaced with another now but it doesn't feel the same.

Seller's remorse really sucks sometimes.

Indeed it does. Ever since then, I’ve been unable to bring myself to sell any others!!

I only bought my K200D a couple of months ago... and I agree that I won't ever sell it. In fact I might get a 2nd one to have a backup... its sensor (or the processor, or maybe a weaker AA filter) is something special - even my K10D can't seem to match the files I get from the K200D.

The funny thing is, the guy who sold me the K200D had just bought it weeks before, but decided he liked his K-x better... so back to the market it went... it's all personal taste I suppose

I am truly enjoying these M9 pictures, keep them coming please

That Kodak sensor is special. Hopefully once the corroded sensor is replaced, the new one won't have the same issues... hopefully it won't, since the 645D also has a Kodak sensor and thankfully I haven't heard of any corrosion issues with it.

Thanks. The old sensor in my M9 was not a flat, smooth surface. It had what looked like an array of little prisms on it. I think they corrected distortion from the sensor being so close to the lens rear element or something. The new sensor is not like that, it looks more normal and now you can clean it too.
