So sorry to hear about the K200, but I know you will enjoy the K7. Enjoy the extra buttons and do post some pictures. Welcome to the forum.

It looks like I need to wait 30 days before putting anything into a portfolio, so those will come later.
Back in the analogue days, I was a Canon-guy (AE1), but I learned to shoot on a K1000. A couple years back, after breaking my 4th point-and-shoot digital camera in 2 years, I figured it was time to get a DSLR. At the time, the D200 was the best bet for a geologist on a budget. It was a great camera, and an excellent introduction. It was sad to see it go, but I love the K7.
In response to i-Berg, I had the stock DA18-55 and an old 50/1.8 left over. I used the opportunity to get the WR lenses with the new body, so I now also have the DA18-55WR and DA50-200WR. I am impressed with the sharpness of the 50-200, but the 18-55 is a bit soft for me (still quite nice for a stock lens).
Thanks for all the welcomes,
Kevin

I have recently replaced my (sadly) stolen K200 with the K7 and realized that there are a few extra buttons!
Looking forward to discussions.
Kevin
