An excellent example of a three digit (D100, D200, D850) Nikon. 10 megapixels is plenty, and since I have a bunch of cameras with the CMOS Sensor, I don't mind this having a CCD. I find that cameras with 6 mpix up (Nikon D100, Canon 20D, etc. work fine, are quick processing, and don't take so much room in the cloud. Plus, you can shoot in RAW (NEF) with a manageable size file. It feels good and solid in the hand, Large size viewfinder makes it easy to get verticals and horizontals squared away. Menu choices reasonable and manageable, four shooting presets on the menu. No automatic setting like on cheaper Nkons. (Default settings are fine, but this camera is one that responds well to custom settings. I love it and oftenn reach for it in preference to my D2X, and my 24 megapixel D7100.

The D200 is an excellent camera for being an older model. I was able to pick it up with a lens for about $185 with shipping and I couldn't be happier. It's more in depth than point and shoot cameras I have used, but it's still straight forward if you do your research and learn how to properly use it. I recommend buying a cleaning kit and some silica or other anti-moisture packets because mine was delivered with some dust in the body and a little bit of fogging on the lens, so it's good to have it around as a precaution if you are a first time buyer. Even if you can't pick it up with a lens, I highly recommend this older body as it is above average image quality, has all the features you could want, and has a professional feeling and weight than most of the $500-800 entry level cameras on the market. Heck, I think it's even cheaper to buy this and to get a good condition kit lens off of here than it is to buy a brand new one. All in all if you can pick one of these up, I highly recommend it.Read full review

This has a CCD sensor. The colors are brighter and more "film" like. I like it better. This was a semi pro camera. It still is- but it's "only" 10 mega pixels. It's a APS "DX" sensor- anything smaller, even if more mps, usually ,means less low light quality. Like indoors. If you don't print bigger than 8x11", you'll never notice. If your hand is steadier than mine, 36x48" prints are good. 4x6s, 5x7s- normal prints- are really really good. I also have a 24mp D7100- that allows me to crop off 2/3 of the shot and stll have decent quality. But the D200 has the same high quality pictures, as long as you're not a heavy cropper.. The D200 takes all the Nikon lenses, flashes, etc. Make sure you get the "3E" batteries, not "A". For most people, a fast 16gb card, 1 meter usb, 2 batteries: and shoot JPGs, large, fine. You'll be a happy photog. Look up Youtube for settings and tutorials. It's still a semi pro quality camera- if you know and understand the D200 you'll understand that $4,000 new thang.

Even though the rest of the world seemed to be going digital, I clung stubbornly to film, thinking no other camera could produce images that could touch the ones produce by my F5 and Fuji professional color film. The D200 proved me wrong. I used a rental D200 along with my F5 to do a wedding in October 2009. I was amazed at the results. The images were every bit as good as the F5 produced! Not only that, but the same great Nikon Lenses (105mm micro, 60mm micro and 24-120 mm zoom) worked as quickly and as smoothly on the D200, as they did on the F5. Another big plus; you can see your shot almost instantly; to see who blinked or made a funny face, instead of finding out when the film is processed. I used to take 4 shots of everything, to be sure I had one great shot. Now, I can save the film! As far as ease of use; the D200 is point and shoot simple or as creative as you want to be! On program mode you can punch out great shots all day long; especially if you're using an sb600 or sb800 flash or a Metz 54MZ4. I used all of them and they supported the Nikon ittl, flawlessly. Controls are easy to reach and easy to use, and you'll soon be experimenting with shutter priority, (my favorite) aperture priority, or even full manual. I may be getting timid, or just tired, but at weddings I tend to go with program in most cases and I've found from the results that "the camera seems to know best". Depending on the mood I'm tryng to create, I will use shutter priority and aperture priority, but for the most part, I've come to worry about posing and let the image up to the camera; and it hasn't failed me yet. Although not as heavy as the F5, the D200 does have some heft to it. I like that. It's all metal body feels solid and sounds solid. At 10.2 megapixels, it's not the max, but I just recently added a D90 to my collection, with 12.3. While the D90 is awesome in its own right, the images produced aren't noticibly superior to the D200. The D200 isn't cheap, but you can find a good used one for $600-$700 on ebay and when you combine it with a great Nikon lens, you'll be able to produce some really amazing images. I was impressed enough with the D200 to part with 2 F5s, an F100 and F4s, film cameras all, in order to buy 2 D200s a D90 and, for family outings, trips, etc a D60. Thus far, I'm not at all sorry. I'm getting a positive response from my wedding clients, the certainty of knowing "I got the shot" and reliable performance from digital cameras that are every bit as tough as their film predecsors. If you're looking for something affordable, yet more advanced than the entry level digital cameras, thew D200 will get you professional quality shots while letting you enjoy photography once again!Read full review
This camera is a very well built and feels substantial in your hand- much better than the newer more plastic, light-weight consumer dslr's. It packs many features into its controls while still being easy to use for the basic user. A truly great option for someone who is getting into photography for the first time as well as the more seasoned photographer. Since it has an internal focus motor it can use the complete range of available Nikon and other glass available, making this a great choice.
