  1. Hands On: Nikon D200

    Reviewer: Pop Photo
    30 May 2009

    We love to watch the king-of-the-mountain game that Canon and Nikon play with every DSLR they introduce. Usually, Canon starts a round with a model that offers unrivaled image quality and performance for its price. A few months later, a feature-packed Nikon tries to steal the spotlight. Read more

    You’ve probably been asking yourself recently, “How can I tell if the Nikon D200 digital camera is the one for me?” This technology review attempts to provide you with enough information to make an intelligent purchase decision, by learning in detail about the camera and its systems. Is the 6+ megapixels of the Nikon D50, Nikon D70, and D100 D-SLR insufficient for my needs? Can I afford the $800 to $1200 USD over the cost of those above cameras? Is the Nikon D2x... Read more

  3. Nikon D200 Digital Camera Review

    Reviewer: PhotoAxe
    15 May 2008

    The fast speed of the camera and the 10 MP are the main reasons why a photographer would choose to buy the D200 instead of an older Nikon dSLR. Compared to the 6 MP D100 , it has a better metering and focusing system, Kevin Temperature white balance, on-camera adjustemt of saturation, larger LCD, GPS and Wireless functions, improved USB connectivity. Unlike D100 and D2X, it missed the TIFF file format. Compared to D2X it is a lot smaller and lightweight, but lower... Read more

    first post: 3/19/06 eBook available: 4/3/06 fixed commander mode: 4/30/06 Nikon D200 Review The average man's D2x? The Pro shooter's D2x backup? Or just more megapixels for amateurs? Add a comment or send Thom feedback on this article. Six months ago Nikon seemed stuck in the consumer DSLR marketplace. D100: 6mp. D70: 6mp. D50: 6mp. D70s: 6mp. All cameras used the same basic Sony sensor, and all shared a wide range of features and performance. Indeed, up until late 2005,... Read more

    The Nikon D200 is a very good camera and anybody making the switch from a (high-end) film camera to digital should consider it. Take a look at the image quality, decide if it makes sense financially (don't forget extra lenses, memory etc.) and take into account that the low operating cost of digital encourages to capture more, experiment more.

    I recently picked up a D200 used @ B&H and can't be happier. One of the best features on this cammera is the ability to use mannuel lenses. For $600 (used) it's a great investment. Read more
