Advantages: Good picture Quality, Fast shutter speed, excellent build and quality Disadvantages: can be a little big to carry everywhere with you, takes time to get to grips with all the settings
The Nikon D200 is an exceptional piece of equipment, and for those of you who have owned one or are still using the D200 will know what I am talking about. The build quality is just outstanding, I have dropped my D200 numerous times and it is still solid and taking excellent pictures. The speed of the camera is also pretty good, shooting at 5fps you are sure to capture all the action. The 10.2 megapixels will give you outsatnding picture quality and be able to print large A3 photos easily. I have a compact camera which is a 10 megapixel but does not come close to the picture quality that the D200 produces.
The size of the camera alone is not very large or heavy, although once you add all the accessories on, such as the flash, battery pack and lens it can feel a bit bulky. If you are taking pictures of the family holiday then you ...

Advantages: Metering, low ISO performance, image quality, build quality Disadvantages: dynamic range, noise in high ISO
Nikon D200 was launched in late 2005 and since been replaced by its worthy successor, the D300. The question is, whether it is still worthwhile to invest in D200? IMHO, it still is, especially if you are shifting from film to digital.
The buld quality and handling of D200 is exceptionally good; so is the metering and image quality. Colour rendition, in my opinion, is a bit more saturated but that can always be tweaked in PS.
The area where D200 scores below the recent DSLRs is its relatively poor dynamic range and digital noise in high ISO. Effectively, you cannot beyond ISO 640. But in lower ISOs, this workhorse is still hard to beat. Mirror lock up is a very useful feature with this camera, especially if your genre is landscape photography.
IMO:
Go for it and invest in good quality Nikon glass by the savings you make by not ...

Advantages: Super build Quality: Opens up the world of Nikon. Disadvantages: Non: Just don't put cheap lenses on it...
Having used various Cameras over the years and various Brands Iv'e finally happily ended up with Nikon.
The Nikon D200 is an easy to use SLR body with a wealth of features that are hidden in menus if you ever want to use them.
It's the sort of camera that would be easy to use out of the box without the instruction book.
Results: On the standard settings, the images this camera produces are lovely and punchy and hardly need any editing afterwards.
It may be slightly pricier than some other models but this is a semi-pro model that will last for years... Accurate metering & focusing.
Using the genuine battery.. it's not that power hungry either..
I have 2 batteries and it's very rare that I have to change the battery even if I'm snapping away all day.
A great handling digital SLR body and if you are new to Nikon... welcome to ...
