Ah okay I was thinking about something fancy
So these? link
You might ask a local shop, they're often willing to go the extra mile for you.

I'm not talking about scratches but about breaking off...If it's built right, it actually protects the screen from getting scratched. You fold it away when not in use.
I'm not saying it isn't useful only that it looks so vulnerable
Maybe a bleutooth connection with your phone might be better

John, that's quite some distance
The 18-55 is the best close focusing zoom with 1:2,9 magnification, for normal sizes flowers that's good enough for tulips and things like that smaller flowers might be a problem.
The DA 17-70 is the second best pentax zoom lens with 1.3,1 magnification.
the Sigma 17-70 Macro sounds like it would focus very close but with 1:2,7 it's a bit disappointing

Do you mean like something like a wallet with the photo inside, just like you've those photo lockers?

I have also been led to believe that the cut off voltage can be adjusted by a Pentax workshop.
Hybrids only deliver 1.4 volt when freshly charged nominal would be 1.2 volt as well.Incidently we are talking 3 different voltages between AA Lithium or Alkaline (1.5 volt), Nicads (1.2 volt nominal)and Hybrids (1.4 volt nominal)I understand Pentax digital SLR's are designed for use with 1.5 volt AA batteries and have cut off voltages to suit these.

Lithium btw produce around the 1.6 to 1.8 volt depending the brand and type.
These rechargeables should solve your battery problems with the K200D maybe? link
They are 1.6 volt.

You can actually focus quite close with the 18-55 kit lens, around 1:2,9 I at least found it close enough.

My dad has a Nikon D40 that I sometimes use if I didn't bring my camera

I had read about black silicon as well. a new generation of sensor are comming but if already have cameras with perminent sensors in them, we won't be buying a new body just to get a new sensor. If sensors can be changed, the consumers will be upgrading more often. It will be interesting to see what hits the market next.
We can see that with the new 645D, which is essentially a K-7 with a comparatively massive sensor. The frame rate has dropped from 5fps to 1.1fps, 645D raw files apparently being up to 50Mb in size.
I think the sensor doesn't have enough lanes to get higher frame rates.
Besides that you always have slower frame rates because everything is bigger, the shutter needs to travel more and the mirror is larger.
