Hi Adam, The tempting features of the K200D are the shake reduction, weather sealing, and the fact that it takes AA batteries. I have an Optio with a proprietary charger. Can't say as I always know where the charger is when I need it.
I knew about the viewfinder issue with the K200D, didn't know about the buffer (don't know how it would affect the kind of photos I take), and do have a 360 flash so P-TTL only might not be a problem. Again, not sure of the outcome. Biggest draw back is I like the compact physical size of the DS. Any "upgrade" would include a size/weight upgrade as well, I'm afraid. Would anyone who has made this switch care to comment?
