    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

    Although now replaced by the D300, the Nikon D200 has developed a large following in the time that it’s been on the market. It offers a great handling experience that is favourably comparable to the D2Xs, although you can tell that the D200’s build is less expensive and doesn’t quite feel as solid. Read more

  3. 10.2-megapixel professional digital SLR camera

    Overall, the D200 provides enough kit and control for the most demanding professional or enthusiast snapper. The image quality is superb with the advanced metering and AF system combining well (albeit with that odd slight underexposure) with nary a shot going astray. Colour balance and detail are superb and despite the Nikkor 18-70 F3.5-F4.5 DX kit lens being more a budget end lens, more serious optics start to pull even more from the camera’s high-resolution sensor....

    Pick up a Nikon D200, then try to put it down again. You simply won’t want to. Never before has Nikon jam-packed so much technology and high-end build quality into a single camera. If it’s performance and value in one you’re after, this is definitely the SLR for you Read more

  1. Using a Nikon D 200 and an 18-135 Nikon lens

    I don't own one but I've used one and the images it produces are great. I used the D 200 with a Nikon 18-135 lens and the images were sharp and crisp from 18 to 135. Battery life is excellent. The cameras menu is easy to understand and the body with attached lens is comfortable to handle. There are no know issues with the D 200. The D 200 commander mode makes using a slave flash a breeze. Both main flash and auxiliary flash balance perfectly. I would recomend this system... Read more

  2. At these prices, EXCELLENT for the non-professional burgeoning artist

    I have being contemplating jumping into the semi-pro/pro body realm since I outgrew my D40x a year ago, but the prices have been unrealistically high. The D200, though using nearly 4-year old technology, has been a staple for many Nikonians until the D300 was release in 2007; but I never felt that the enhanced AF abilities and ISO capabilities were justifying the extraordinary $1699 price tag of the D300 versus the D200! So I made the jump when a price drop happened, got... Read more

    This review is from: Nikon D200 BODY Digital Camera (Electronics) Other reviewers have covered the picture quality this camera can provide. I would just add that it is one of the few digital bodies which can take manual focus (ai, ais) lenses and still offer metering (though there is a slightly limited range of exposure modes available, and you do need to set the f number and length of the lens in the D200's menu). Many of these older lenses are optically superb and can... Read more

    I bought my D200 earlier this year and used it at the British G.P.. I got some wonderful shots using full auto. I also have used it at air shows with similar results. I cannot speak too highly of this camera. If it has a fault it is the length of battery time availible, but this is not surprising due to it's abilities. Carry a spare battery with you and you will be fine under most conditions. Read more
