Miguel, I just saw your portrait shot using the KP and DA 40mm Limited, posted in the "Post your best KP shots" thread. I left a response there also. Very nice! Good handling of the lighting.

Good thing you have such a high quality lens, the DA 21mm Limited. It will serve well for you in taking advantage of the quality the KP can produce. If for any reason you choose to be lazy and just shoot some JPEGs, you might be impressed with the KP's in-camera processing also. One of its many points of excellence. Just be sure to set "Fine Sharpening" in the Custom Image menus.
And congrats for your apparently good find of a great price deal!

The color palette of the KP is more accurate from my impression. I also have the K200D but have not shot with it in a few years because it developed a battery drain problem and I have yet to get it repaired. I have plenty of images stored from it, however. Colors are rich, but then the K200D tends to underexpose by a half stop at least, making colors deeper. I would often use the exposure comp with it to around + 1/3 stop, but it would sometimes still look a bit dim. In well-lit conditions that would translate into rich color in a bright scene. The K100D exposure seemed more right on. The KP exposure is about right on as well, and IQ is amazing. In the
"Bright" setting, colors are saturated, with plenty of pop without being overdone, and results are very fine right out of the camera. For best results in this case, be sure to implement "Fine Sharpening" in the Custom Image menus for superb detail in images with a high-quality lens.
