Pentax K200D- as a second body

Have you considered either a K10 or K20 as these are both more in line with a 'pro' set up?
Having said that, £199 is a good price for a weather sealed 10meg body!
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
I dont know if the buttons on the earlier models can be programmed to make access to ISO easier?
_but_ after getting a k5, with it's easy control layout, and sublime high iso performance. I think I would have trouble going back to it ( gave the k200 away in the end).
A k20 would be a better bet, it's less of a drop from the k5. Assuming you want the fall back for a professional shoot, ( like a wedding etc.) the k20 will mean less compromise in terms of shooting style and settings.
I would think a second hand k20 can be had for less than £300. if you've got a k200 ready to go, great, if not I don't think it's worth a fresh purchase.
If you can stretch to a used k7, the more the better.
I would team a K-5 with another K-5, or a K-7 if that's not possible.
A K20D and K10D would be OK together.
A K-r and K-x would match, and probably the other single-control wheel models would fit in here as well.
Haven't used it much since I've been mainly film this year......
It was bad enough on a regular relaxed shoot, I couldn't imagine using two different bodies on a wedding shoot.
Unless I was the bridegroom on a polygamous wedding when that would be a bonus
I'm with John in this. I worked fine with my K20D and K10D together, but couldn't get on with using a K-5 and K20D together
