And you can go on ebay and buy a really fast old 50mm lens for $100 that will blow away any of the entry or mid level Nikon or Canon glass. It just won't auto focus...

I just briefly looked into the K200d vs the K20d. Other than the 10mp resolution, and the use of AA batteries (which is a good thing for me), what are the major differences? The 200d sounds very attractive to me.
