The K200D is no slouch either.
Both can most likely bring you where ever you want to go.

The main difference is that the K10D is a more robust camera and was geared towards the prosumer market, while the K200D is geared towards the consumer market.

The K200D should be equal to the K10D in terms of IQ & noise control, since the K10D was last generation tech.

If you want a camera that is more user friendly get the K200D. If you want one that has a more "professional" fell lol, then you'll be better off with the K10D.

At least advanced amateur... and possibly even turn it into a career.

Who knows what'll happen between now and the time I buy though... they may come out with the K30D and K300D... I probably/hopefully be buying late spring/early summer so we'll see what happens... I'm really liking the looks of the Pentax DSLRs. The two reasons I'm drawn to them are the better body construction and the top LCD.

I'm tending to lean to the K200D even though I do want the pro feel...
