Also, any pro/con comments on the D200 would be greatly

use a variety of standard
AA batteries, not a proprietary battery.

Many people would argue that custom LiIon are preferable because
they
have a higher energy density, are significantly easier to handle
(one
battery instead of many which cannot be inserted the wrong way
and
doesn't roll away), and with 500+ photos on a single charge being
very common emtpy batteries are hardly an issue.

Agree, but buy the K200D because it is a great camera.

But you can do more with a slightly less great camera and a good
set
of lenses than you can with a great camera and just the kit lens.

So who has these good lenses?

The original poster.

He said was "I was wondering if the OM-2 lenses", if he had good ones I
would have assumed a little more knowledge on his part and he would not have
asked the question he did, I guess you assumed "good" even though he never
said that.

I would only ever recommend 35 year old lenses to someone that has more
experience than the OP appears to have.

Cheers.
