The SD Card association has place the limit off SDHC to 32gb but theoreticly it can go up too 2TB as well. If pentax havent set a limit on his cameras that support SDHC it can go over the 32GB as well.

Why would that give a issue, it really make no sense to me to be honest.
Windows XP supports all these formats I believe NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, FAT12, exFAT, CDFS, UDF, DFS & IFS so why would it be a matter on what kind of format XP is installed?

I think it's because the K200d applies more noise redution then the K10D because the sensor and other hardware is the same basicly, don't know if that's correct though. It might be that the hardware has been optimized with the experience gained with the k10d.

to go back to the topic, i don't know much about film so wont start with that but both the K200D and K10D are useable for A3 prints. The sensor is the same on both so the quality it's the same it's just the handelling of the camera that is different. If you can get a new K10D it will cost the same as a new K200D so I would search for some leftovers if you intend to buy a K10D.
If you want to shoot high iso (800+) I would recomment to save some money for the K20D because the photos are still very usable at high iso.

edit: typo

YOu probable already know this site but if you don't this might help a bit link
Basicly all flashses are good but some have some limitations and options that you might need or want also the way you controll them is different. Some will use more buttons wile the pentax af540gz for example also have a scroll wheel so try them all out and see what works best for you.

Format to NFTS like Terry said, it gives you the most options and if you delete something you have a fair change to recover that if needed

David has a point here i think but watch out, if you make the boy in the fruit bowl dimmer you wouldn't see him so good. maybe just taking away a bit of the highlight in his hair would do the trick.

I also read in your comment it's a dream but I don't see that in your photo, I don't know if that the point or not.
Also the paint effect is hardly noticable

Thanks Gwyn and I only mean the VAT.
The average VAT here in Europe is 20% so that would be €875 with and €700 without the VAT.

The DA* 55 would be in the same price range as the 43mm Ltd if Bristol Camera's keep there price like that. If it has some fairy dust of the limiteds and is sharper then the FA 50mm (which isn't great wide open) I would buy it for the focal length.

Like Dan said there is no point arguing about it if we don't even know how it preforms.

nope because the €600 price is with all the taxes which the American price isn't I believe but please correct me if I'm wrong.
On another forum about computers, if they have news there that Intel has lower there prices they show the American aswell and if you compare it with the price here you see that the converstion is mostly like this $=€

Who is planning to buy one if I may ask?

It trully isn't going at that price the advice price here was €600 since I last checked

I totally forgot about the Limiteds, Robin. Those would certainly fit in every holiday bag

The 17-70 would be an ideal city lens so maybe that with the combination of the 55-300 would do the trick better since you got some overlapping in focal lenghts you wouldn't feel the need to switch lenses so much.

And Gwyn I stand corrected the 18-270 isn't out for the Pentax. Hopefully Pentax takes the design put a heavier SDM motor in it, I wouldn't mind if it would be a KAF3 mount
