D200 Nikon.......2007-06-09

This is a great camera for both amateur and pro alike. The only fault I have found with it is the location of the AF-on button. It is located where you would normally place your thumb when holding the camera grip with the right hand. I have accidentally pressed this button several times turning on and off the auto focus. As you can imagine when your panning with autofocus on then suddenly the auto focus is off may cause you to miss your shot. I'll learn, but it hasn't been easy when trying to concentrate on the subjects, panning from one position to another. If you have been a 35 mm Nikon owner, you'll love the interchangablitily of the lenses. With the 1.6:1 ration between the non-digital and digital lenses you have in effect have the opportunity to gain some very high power photos. As an example, I have a couple of lenses (70mm-200mm zoom, and fixed 300mm lens. They now have an effective range of (112-320mm, and 480mm. I still wouldn't toss the 35mm. There is still a lot to be said for film, with very little danger of the major manufacutes of film products discontinuing film production. There are still hundreds of millions of film shooters left when you consider the world market. But is sure is great to have the digital camera to confirm a good shot. I have even used the camera to verify the setting on my 35mm. Nikon D200 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

What a camera!.......2007-06-05

Just back from a vacation where I took the D200 and a little Flip video unit. The D200 performed perfectly; the 18-200mm lens is the perfect lens, wide to zoom, and sharp as a tack. It was especially easy to change ISO settings on the fly; the camera just feels and acts like a "real" camera. The only issue---it's a little heavy. I bought a better neck strap for it--the little one bites into your neck after a while.

Great Camera.......2007-05-30

I am always a Canon user and buy this one for my father who is Nikon user. So I tried this camera before giving it to my dad. It is a great camera, I should say. Color performance is much better than D100 and other Nikon camera. It gives you a solid feeling when holding it in hands. Very good materials.

You won't regret it no matter you are canon person or nikon person. It gives you a lot of fun on photography.

Can't get much better than this.......2007-05-27

I used a Nikon D50 for a couple of years and I did a lot of shooting with a friend who had the D200 so I have had my eye on this camera for a long time. Now that I have it, all I can say is Wow. There are so many features on this camera that it is going to take me a long time to learn them all. I probably won't use many of them though. The 10.2 megapixels offers excellent resolution. Beware that the size of the image files is huge. I bought a 4 gig CompactFlash drive. It also seems to burn through its battery faster than my D50 did. I recommend picking up a spare battery for about $[...]. If you are serious about getting great images then this camera is a great choice. It has a function to lock the mirror in the up position before the shutter opens to minimize camera shake during exposure. One of my favorite features is the back light on the control panel. My D50 didn't have that and I had a hard time viewing its control panel in darker rooms.

Stunning Camera System.......2007-05-26

I bought this from Adorama after 1 full year of review reading. Was a tough decision to spend this kind of money... but several weeks later I'm am blown away by the construction, the features and the picture quality. The colors are stunning, life-like and can be tailored to fit your needs. It doesn't matter what you're shooting - this camera handles anything I throw at it. I bought it with the 18-200mm Nikkor VR lense, and then added the Tokina 12-24mm. Two pieces of glass that completely complement this camera. No regrets, and plenty of learning and growing to do. Highly recommended.
