The Leica M8 is not a DSLR. It is a coupled digital rangefinder with interchangeable lenses. It is manual focus only. The M8 body is approximately $5,500.00; the D200 body is approximately $1,400.00. The D200 was introduced in 2005 so it is obsolete by electronic technology standards. IMO you should consider the latest from Sony and Pentax in the DSLR line. Both have their image stabilization in the body and have dust removal for the sensor. The Sony A100*, 200, 300 and 700 can use every Minolta Maxxum AF lenses made since 1985. They also use many of the accessories for the Maxxum series and most all accessories for the Konica-Minolta D5 & D7 DSLR cameras. Sony is expected to release a full-frame (24mmX36mm) sensor camera in late 2008 or early 2009. All those wonderful Maxxum lenses will be perfect for it since they were designed for 35mm film cameras. The Pentax K100D Super*, K10D, K20D can use every K-mount lens made since 1975 plus every AF K-mount lens made. It also has dust remova
