 | Pentax K200D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction (Body Only)
Buy new: $849.99 / Used from: $499.00 My personal favorite over the K20D because it uses AA batteries and I'm often out in the field where access to battery chargers is limited, but I can usually find a gas station w/ a pack of AAs.
Weather sealed, 10mp, reasonably small, what more do you want?
