In the electronics world if it's computers, cameras, etc., whatever just was put on the shelf is almost out of date anyway.
This is true ONLY if you are a person who is obsessed with the loosing race of keeping up with the edge of technology... which is fine if that's what keeps you happy. The camera you buy now isn't going to take any less of a photo when the next generation is released. Even the lowest line of DSLRs today have enough megapixels to produce even 14x11 prints and more.
Photographers that bought their DSLRs last year will most likely not be any better off if they replaced them with this year's models. The major exception to the rule are professionals that depend on their equipment to meet the climbing standards of publishers as well as reliability.
I bought my k10d just last year and it is being replaced by the 20d. The 200d seems almost identical to the k10d not sure exactly what the difference is.
THere are a few of differences in the specs. Your K10D has a pentaprism and the K200D has a pentamirror for example. Another is power supply. I think another is weather-sealing. K10D and K20D intended for the professional or prosumer market. The K100D and K200D for consumer.
