Great camera!!! |
I purchased the D200 body from Orderitdiscount in February 2009, for a fraction of the now listed price. It's hard to believe it's retailing for almost $2000 now!!
Overall, the camera is fantastic and a good upgrade to my D50. I liked the D300 quite a bit, but picked up the D200 instead since it had many of the same features. The picture quality is great, construction is solid (reminds me of my old 8008s SLR) and overall a semi-pro body. I only have a few complaints about the camera in general though:
1) Batteries - for whatever reason, the battery does not last as long compared to others I have used. I've found this to be a common complaint from people who have owned this model as campared to other nikon bodies.
2) Ease of use - I'm sure jumping from the D50 to D200 was a big step, but be known it will take a while to conquer the learning curve. There are alot of menus and pre-programmable "banks" to create your own custom modes. Overall, its not much of a complaint; I would probably recommend taking a class or picking up a user's guide (other than the one included in the box). |

Cold Weather - Bring it on! |
I have owned my D200 now for just over 3 years and there are not enough good things I can say about it. I can go over every positive detail this camera features, but I am not going to do that since so many others have. I have taken well over 10,000 shots with it and it is still going strong and not once have I had an issue with it. The only time I get a bad shot is due to user error - which does happen sometimes. I have made prints up to 30"x40" and they look beautiful and sharp. That is partly due to the quality of Nikkor lenses which are just as high performance, refined and durable as the D200.
One thing I will say is that I live in Minnesota and it tends to get cold up here...I usually don't consider it `cold' until it hits -20 or below and we have many of those days each winter. At one time I did own a Canon, only because it was cheaper (go ahead and kick me for it, I did). Well, they are cheaper and cheaply made - plastic lens mounts on some of their cameras and many of their lenses...come on! Anyway, on not even cold days, 30 degrees or so, the camera would freeze up and that was with warm batteries. So it is not a battery issue but the actual camera body that would freeze up. Canons have so much plastic in them, it makes them lightweight, but not durable and definitely not for cold weather situations, in my opinion and experience they are junk compared to Nikons standards of refinement, durability and quality.
I am so happy with performance and durability of my D200 on any day or night and it does work well even on those `cold' days at -20 degrees or less. It's water resistant, so works well in rain and heavy fog (other times my Canon would fail on me). And durable; this thing is built like a tank and if anyone ever tries to take it from me, I'll just beat them over the head with it, than take a picture to prove it!
This is a beautiful piece of equipment and I will never go back to using cheap Canons or any other brand name for that matter. One of my personal mottos is, "You're not a pro, unless you use a Nikon".

Great purchase! |

I have used this camera a lot. I am a retired photojournalist and had to give back all my company equiptment when I left. This really filled my needs. |

I finally made the transition from a Nikon N65 film SLR to the Nikon D200 DSLR 1 year ago before a trip to Hong Kong and China. Beautiful pictures! I still haven't figured out all of settings, but I have gone on many a trips with this beauty and amazed people with the composition and high quality of the pictures I bring back. I loved the fact that my existing Nikor lenses I used for my old film camera worked with this camera as well. The main reason I chose to switch to digital and get the D200 was to be able to photograph spectacular sites around China and blow them up for the walls of our "asian-themed" guest room. It's a project I haven't completed yet, but I can't wait. One of the great things of this camera is the ability to create large scale prints from your digital images, so I hear. If you don't expect to print anything larger than 8 x 10, you probably don't need this much camera... |

Great time to buy this camera |

Watch for prices on this camera to drop as the Nikon D300 has been released. Although the D300 is the 'next' generation, most of its new features will not be necessary for most photographers unless you want to use the 'video' feature. I have two Nikons and in addition to the many features already mentioned, it feels quite comfortable in the hand: not too big or small, and just the right weight when you get accustomed to it, which, takes perhaps 3 or 4 days if you've been accustomed to a lighter model. But soon, it will feel like the perfect fit--unless you have some very unusual hand configuration. |
