Nikon D200

Strengths: Professional build quality, outstanding results. Magnesium body with water resistant seals.

Weakness: None

I purchased my D200 about 9 months ago, along with a Nikkor 18-200 VR lens. Once you've read the 222 page manual and have some idea how to work this tecnological wonder, the quality of the photographs rival those I used to get with a high end film SLR. The menus and their many submenus have built in guidance if you need help while you're setting the camera up. Customizing these menus really...

Nikon has done it again!

Strengths: Build quality is pro-level, 2/3 technology and capability of the D2X at 1/3 the price, 2.5" LCD Screen

Weakness: Low battery life (compared to D70 and D2X)

I love the way this cameras feels in my hands especially the build quality and weight. Add a MB-D200 grip to the camera and not only do you have an extra battery and vertical shutter, but the balance just got that much better. The Nikon D200 has lived up to and exceeded all my expectations!

Nikon D200

Strengths: Build quality, handy ISO-WB-QUAL buttons, large viewing area

Weakness: Nikon Capture costs extra, and it's a slow software. Custom naming for file a good feature, but still limited to 3 letters. Flash sync is a step backwards from D70's 1/500.

I have received this camera and have been loving it, even though it's only been a short time. The extra resolution compared to my d70 is not important in most repects, but in my case I anticipate a lot of cropping, and the extra resolution will come in handy. It's a highly recommendable camera for any pro-sumer. Update after 1 month of use (1000 frames later): This camera truly is great. focusing...

If you know what you're doing, you'll love it

Strengths: Massive viewfinder, massive LCD, super fast, incredible metering/AF

Weakness: Limited add-on availability

I had been seeking a good solid DSLR for a few months when the D200 was announced in early November. A quick download of the brochure showed that this camera was far superior than the D70s for not much more in price ($1,699 for the D200 vs. $999 for the D70s). The camera. You have to hold it to believe it. It feels solid, well constructed and just amazing. Nikon has pulled out all the stops on...

About time Nikon users have a competetor to the 20D

Strengths: Fantastic price, awesome image quality, fast focusing, super large LCD, wireless flash system, enviromental seals and solid Magnesium alloy (Mg) body. Professional quality camera for under 2 grand!

Weakness: Made in Thialand, not Japan.

For over a year Nikon users like me have been wondering if we bought into the right camera system when Canon seems to be ahead of them with every introduction. Well Nikon not only hit a home run with this camera, but they hit the ball completely out of the park with this introduction! When Nikon announced this camera I sold my D70 and pre-ordered the D200. This camera is going to quickly become a...

Great Camera, if you can get your hands on it!

Strengths: well constructed body, fast continuous shooting, the commander mode for Advanced Wireless Lighting, the 2.5 inch LCD monitor is great!

Weakness: no infrared wireless remote control option like the D70, the new battery en-el3e is not that long lasting as I expected, exhausted when my 2GB compact flash card is filled up, 430 pics in fine mode.

I upgraded from D70, it's really worth it, especially the commander mode of the built-in flash, I own 3 nikon speedlights, SB-800, SB-600, SB-30. In commander mode, I can get all flashes (4) to synch wirelessly at the same time, an instant portrait studio. I took some nice portraits of friends only possible previously in a professional studio. The 3 primary setting: White Balance, ISO, and...

Awesome camera

Strengths: The feel, the speed, the large LCD, the controls, I could go on forever it seems

Weakness: haven't found any

Been using the Nikon D70 and loving it and then I got my hands on a D200. Didn't really want to touch it, but when I did, I had to have it. It feels like luxury. Has the speed and power of something regal. I can't stop shooting. If you can, get the vertical grip.

Wow! Great Camera

Strengths: See review details

I've been shooting with the D200 for a month, including some intense sun up to sun down days with a 70-200 f2.8vr lens. After shooting with a D100 for several years moving to the D200 was fairly simple. Learning my around the D200 was fast because many of the buttons and menu navigation items are similar. The D200 has a more solid feel to it and the shutter release is faster. Shooting action...

Nikon D200

Strengths: Beautiful new bigger and brighter LCD sturdy construction very responsive metering

Weakness: price battery life not as good as D70 . thats it

Like others have said Nikon has really come up with a true equeal to Canons top of the line but a better price. The bigger LCD is a true plus over the D70 or D70s, the VR and DX lens work beautifully with the D200

Nikon D200 DSLR

Strengths: Incredible resolution and in camera processing. The sharpnees and color quality are first rate.

Weakness: None that I've found.

Took shots at the tidepools using a polarizer and got fantastic shots through the water. While shooting landscapes and plants I used the vivid setting and was blown away by the color density. I'm using the Nikon 18-200 lens with great results. Focus is very sharp and fairly quick. This is the best lens I've ever used. No other lens with 11X zoom has the vibration reduction built in. Don't even...

Nikon D200

Until now, the Canon 20D was the leading candidate to become my next digital SLR. But the D200’s higher scores for color quality and exposure accuracy make it a tempting proposition as well.

DCRP Review: Nikon D200

It's hard not to like the Nikon D200. Really hard. Yes, it has a few flaws (namely its price and higher-than-I'd-like noise levels), but it has so many positives and was so fun to use that it easily earns my highest recommendation.

Camera Labs – Nikon D200 review

Ultimately until the market responds, Nikon has delivered the best mid-range digital SLR yet, boasting professional quality at a highly affordable price point. 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. The D200 really is a world apart from its predecessor...

Nikon D200

The Nikon D200 is arguably the best-constructed, most capable dSLR currently on the market for under $2,000. This isn't just a digital camera, it's a picture-taking machine! The Nikon D200 is significant in the world of digital cameras not only for its array of features and its performance, but for the fact that it's the first dSLR selling for less than $3,000 or so that could truly be considered...

Nikon D200 Digital Camera Review

After years of rumors, sightings, and anticipation, the Nikon D200, a 10.2 megapixel DSLR with a 5 frames-per-second burst speed and a brand-new autofocus module, finally enters the market. Priced at under $1700 online, it replaces the D100, which Nikon announced almost four years back – generations ago, in digital imaging terms. Nikon users will probably measure it against more recent cameras....
