Where to get a K200D

I don't understand.

You're looking for a used K200D because you can't afford a new one.

Someone points out there is one available in the Marketplace, but you can't afford it until you sell your current non-Pentax camera.

But now all of a sudden, you're going to wait until the K7 (if that's what it's going to be called) comes out.

If you can't afford a new or used K200D, how will you be able to afford a K7?

Never mind.

I think I figured it out.

You misunderstood me.

I mean I was going to wait for the K7 to come out so the prices on the K200D will drop and more people will sell them, along with the K10D.

You're also missing my complete list:

Canon Digital Rebel
Canon Digital Rebel XT
Canon 20D
Canon 30D
Canon Digital Rebel XTi
Pentax *ist DS
Pentax K100D Super
Canon Digital Rebel XSi

If you're still looking for sources for the K200D, B&H has them in stock - $499 for kit with the 18-55.

I´ve had an e-mail confirmation from a Pentax dealer who buy direct from Pentax (not through another supplier) in the UK that the K200D is discontinued & is only to be "replaced" by the K-m. Hopefully I´ll still be able to pick one up somewhere in a month.

Well, a large number of them will likely show up on the used market in about a month, judging by the comments in the News & Rumors threads...

There's no point in replying to this further, as he has indicated elsewhere he has had to sell his camera to pay for housing.

I still find it helpful.

We'd put more time into finding one for you than you'd spend owning it.

Forgive me if I have just not been playing close enough attention, but have you posted any photos from any camera yet? Sometimes I wonder if you're just a RiceHigh without the funds.
