The Nikon D200, combined with the ED-IF AF-S DX 18-70mm lenses is a solid purchase. You will get a camera with a spectacular 10.2 Megapixels of resolution. This gives you uncompromising detail to your images, no matter how big you blow them up. Color is astounding, thanks to the advanced imaging processor onboard. The colors will be true to life, clear and brilliant. Continuous shooting is fast, with 5fps for up to 37 JPEG shots. Capture the last few seconds of the race, and see who is the first to cross the finish line!

Light sensitivity is from ISO 100 to ISO 1600. With the Optical Zoom strength of the lens, it combines for shots that can be taken anywhere, from Dawn over Manhattan to Sunset in Hawaii, to the Australian night. Versatile, sturdy with its Magnesium alloy body, compatible with other AF-S DX Zoom lenses, this is a good camera to include in your DSLR camera collection.

Durable, Magnesium Alloy Body Nikon's advanced technologies and mechanisms are housed within a rugged, lightweight magnesium alloy chassis and body ready for the most rigorous assignments. Additional sealing for dust and moisture adds to the D200's strength.
10.2 Megapixel DX Format CCD A newly-developed 10.2 effective megapixel DX Format CCD captures images with edge-to-edge sharpness and incredible color at 3,872 x 2,592 pixels, yielding extraordinarily high-resolution images perfect for enlargements and creative cropping.
Industry-leading Image Processing for Exceptional Color Performance The D200 incorporates Nikon's industry-leading advanced imaging processing engine of the D2x, which allows color-independent pre-conditioning prior to A/D conversion to work in symphony with advanced digital image processing algorithms to achieve fine color gradations with exceptionally smooth, consistent transitions.
Large 2.5-inch LCD The high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD screen provides ultra-wide 170°viewing angles for viewing pictures in all directions. With accurate sharpness assessment, preview images at up to 400% magnification.

Anonymous 11/12/2007 7:47:44 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5A great Camera This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: The D200 is a wonderful camera. It is big, robust, and built like a tank. Cons: None Other Thoughts: If you were ignorant you may order this camera and find out it is big and heavy, and then blame the camera. (It is not a compact point and shoot!) It is a big professional grade DSLR. It is made for people who know how to use cameras and all the features such as manually setting aperture, shutter speeds, ISO levels, using RAW Format ect. If you're not sure what any of that stuff is, you need to buy a point and shoot. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Robert H. 10/19/2007 6:41:49 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Heavy Metal This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: I guess its supposed to take good pictures, but all of the Nikon cameras do. Cons: This camera is really big and VERY heavy. You should go to a camera store and hold one before you buy this; you can't return it for a lighter model, or get a refund for your money. Other Thoughts: Too big, too heavy, too expensive. Do your homework; I wish I had handled this model before I ordered it. 0 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Tracy T. 10/5/2007 11:17:03 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Nikon D200 This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: The D200 is an outstanding camera. I have a Coolpix 995 which I thought was great but the D200 blows that camera way hands down. I bought a Sigma 500mm lens for it and get nothing but outstanding pictures. It's a little heavy with the 500mm lens on it but you can beat the quality of the pictures. Also the rapid shot setting is great when you use a high speed flash card. I was at Denali Park in Alaska and got great action shots of Moose and grizzly bears. I bought the upgraded battery with rapid charger so I didn't have any problems with battery life but don't know about the standard battery. A MUST BUY for anyone into taking GREAT pictures. Cons: A little pricey and heavy but well worth it when you look at your pictures. If you don't know cameras / photography well you may get a little confused at first but camera is easy to use if you read the manual. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Mark M. 6/23/2007 12:13:12 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5 This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: I TRULY LOVE THIS CAMERA,and cannot imagine how close I came to nearly buying something else! After a couple of days of learning all the features, all I can say is that this camera is simply AMAZING! Picture QUALITY is AWESOME! Noise is ~non existent at ISO 100! As the ISO increases (I've got mine set to auto ISO), but as the ISO increases, the noise reduction increases gradually starting at ISO 400. So I've got my noise reduction set to low for the highest level of sharpness, and have increased the sharpness as well as I PREFER abnormally SHARP and CRISP images, making this camera's images VERY sharp and distinct with ~zero noise! I have compared a lot of different cameras, and there is absolutely nothing that compares or comes anywhere close to this AMAZING camera! It is truly the best built, most RUGGED camera that I have ever seen! Sure, there are more expensive cameras, but in side by side picture comparisons, the slight difference isn't worth considering! Cons: None! Only extreme soberness as I nearly bought something else, which would've been a serious mistake that I don't want to think about! Other Thoughts: I've been an extreme shutterbug for 30+ years, and have used a lot of different well made 35mm as well as digital SLR cameras. After owning the D200, all I can say is that I'll never own anything else but Nikon! Its no wonder why Nikon enthusiasts are Nikon enthusiasts for the rest of their life! 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Ryan B. 5/28/2007 8:36:23 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great SLR This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: I bought this camera to replace my D70. I liked my D70, but I can’t say enough about the D200. It captures fantastic images. The layout is intuitive and the construction is solid. The camera can shoot fast, and the color is dead on Cons: The camera is heavy, but that gives it a quality, solid feel. Other Thoughts: I looked at the D80 and I decided the D200 was worth the jump in price. The construction is better. I like CF cards and the 18-70mm lens is better than the 18-135mm that is often sold with the D80. If you are buying a DSLR, I don’t think you can get much more camera for the price. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Darrin D. 11/9/2006 5:13:13 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome Camera This review is from: Nikon D200 Black 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF Lens Pros: I upgraded from the Nikon D70 which I loved. Smart choice, this camera shoots like a pro even if I don't. Fast, Crisp, Perfect Color. Cons: Might be out of the average Joe's price range. There's always the D70s, and the D80 will be out soon as well. Other Thoughts: I bought this after reading numerous reviews and doing weeks of research. You'd be surprised to learn many pro's shoot with this even with more expensive models out there. I see why. Go with Nikon, great company, great products. 18 out of 18 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
