Battery life and flash are interesting reading / viewing. Also, I didn't get a sense of whether or not the Sony product gives you the ability to manually apply exposure compensation?

Not great shakes as images, but it may give you a better idea...

The Pentax range has moved on substantially since the K200 - the Kx, Kr and K5 are all superb in low light (arguably a forte for each). Not that that detracts from the K200 by any means.

The books you have will complement the manual, so re-read stuff as you experiment with the camera.
Some of it will also come down to your own technique and style, and some down to the way you process your images on your PC (or Mac). Good pick-up re the impact of light on your shots by the way. There is a white balance setting on your camera that attempts to compensate for various types of light ('temperatures'). The good thing is that white balance (WB) is fixable in your post-processing.
You have a choice of shooting images in jpg format (quick and easy), or in RAW (far more flexible and forgiving once you start post-processing).
All the best!
