    Brand new and about to reach a High Street near you. This 10.2-megapixel SLR is built to a very high standard and features the same highquality image processing engine that you’ll find in the far pricier Nikon D2x. This is the ideal camera for wedding and portrait photographers or an advanced enthusiast. Now that the New D300 has come out many people are looking at that as the thing to get. I would recommend getting a d200 instead, because of how much the D300 has... Read more

    There's very little to fault about the Nikon D200. It's very robust, has great ergonomics and a wide array of features, while handling superbly and delivering excellent image quality. In use it performed very well and we struggled to find any downsides to list at the end of the verdict - indeed we felt almost churlish criticising Nikon for the way it zooms-in on images during playback, although it has to be said, simple zoom in and out buttons really are much more...

    Where the Nikon D200 fits in the marketplace The Nikon D200 is a mid-range camera, aimed at advanced amateur or semi-professional users. It re-acts faster than the D50/D70s; packing more pixel power and greater control, but is comparatively not quite as fast as the D2x series. Nikon D200 magnesium body has an enhanced sealing system to protect it from casual moisture and dust. Seals are evident on all openings, which is reassuring. The performance of Nikon D200 is such...

    The Nikon D200 is a semi-professional DSLR with a 10.2 million-pixel CCD that sets a new standard in this class of camera. The relationship between price and performance is extremely attractive. The Nikon D200 will satisfy both the advanced amateur and the professional photographer in most areas. The balance between noise, sharpness, dynamics and color reproduction is 100% optimized for professional photography and image processing. Read more

    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... Read more

    This was the camera I bought to upgrade from the D70 I previously owned which was no slouch itself. Straight away the build quality and feel in your hand is what impresses. It's hard to quantify it other than to say it just 'feels right'. The camera feels like a piece of pro equipment from the off. Let me say that image quality is excellent. I can't think of one occasion when i've felt let down since I purchased it. The menu system is also well worth a mention. It's... Read more
