I am currently looking to get another Pentax body next to my KP. I am definitely going to go for a low-budget option this time.
Because Pentax CCD cameras are often lauded, I can kill two birds with one stone here and get me a low-budget Pentax with a CCD sensor.
In particular I've narrowed it down to two most interesting candidates: K10D and K200D. These two can be had around 80-100 € from eBay. Not exactly as cheap as they can go in some garage sales but not astronomically expensive either.
[Question A] I see the major difference between these two is that the K10D is an enthusiast/pro camera with a pentaprism and the K200D is a [good] entry-level camera with a pentamirror and 100g less weight. Then one uses batteries and the other operates on AA batteries. Anything other notable I should maybe consider?
[Question B] I am not averse to the 6-megapixel CCD Pentaxes either, but they command higher prices and I'm not convinced. You can try to convince me if you like.
[Question C] if we relax on the budget and forget about CCD, we can get K5 bodies for 200 €. Any comments to/fro?
