Im going to get the K200d anyway i think as it will be brand new and for £349 with a battery grip and lens is a bargain! (inclusive of £50 cashback)

Would it be better for me to get the k110d(has IS) , build up my lenses then buy a k20d or just buy the k200d and stick with that?

Well i have just planned to go down to the shop in Watford on tuesday so im going to ring them 2moro to make sure they will have stock.
Cant wait now. I like to be different and hate fanboys of canon and nikon that ram it down your throat that they are superior.
SO i will take some pics on tuesday and put a few up on my gallery for c+c

The quality of the Pentax is far superior.
Is the K200d better than the K100d super then?
The specs are better (10mp vs 6mp) , but even at only 6mp the k100d results are astonishing!

Thanks for all the replies. Im going to get the K200d with the battery grip offer from SRS @£399
Then when ive built up my lenses i may upgrade the body to the K20d
Thanks for the advice.
I dont really want a sony as they are very plasticky
Cheers

Why should i buy a Pentax instead of the Sony range that jessops are ramming down peoples throat
Seriously though, you buy the camera that suits you best, the one you feel most comfortable handling, the one who's controls are well laid out and intuitive, then you look at features that you think you will use and also consider other features that may be of use in the future. Any of the current brands/models available will take great pics and cover most photographers needs.
What you dont do is buy a particular model because someone else tells you to (especially a salesman) Just remember the number 1 priorty is comfort and ease of use.
Now save up some more money and buy a K20D with 16-50DA*
DOnt you ever get itchy feet and think that the sony or canon this is better?

Yeah that seems good. I dont knbow what to do now.
The sony looks very feature rich but the pentax seems better made and has alot of heritage to go with it.
