The other reviews will tell you all you need to know, so I'll try to fit in some other stuff. It's an amazing all-around performer. It's great in low-light, but I did notice something. About six of the pixels are "hot" meaning they show up either red or some other noticeable color in certain photos... from Amazon.com I have being contemplating jumping into the semi-pro/pro body realm since I outgrew my D40x a year ago, but the prices have been unrealistically high. The D200, though using nearly 4-year old technology, has been a staple for many Nikonians until the D300 was release in 2007; but I never felt that the enhanced AF abilities and ISO capabilities were justifying the extraordinary $1699 price tag of the D300 versus the D200! from Amazon.com So few things in life are worth more than they produce. Typically, a camera is one of those things. The Nikon family of cameras however far exceeds the standards. As a platform, the Nikon D200 camera is one that is hard to beat. from Amazon.com What a camera! I have leaped from the basic point and shoot into the D200 world and have to say : wow! heavy, solid feel and great choice of lenses just as fantastic as the D200. from Amazon.com If you're serious about photography, this is a camera you will really be happy with. Not really for the point-and-shoot person (although you can leave it in Programmed Auto mode for great pictures with no further adjustment). from Amazon.com Use of use, great pictures, and now a lower price. Faced with upgrading my old D70, I chose the D200 over the D90 because of the non-menu driven interface. For example, I can change the ISO with a touch of a button instead of meandering through a maze of drop down menus. from Amazon.com If you are looking to upgrade from form D40 save yourself $1000 vs the D300 and buy this D200 body for $799. You can't beat it and I tried. from Amazon.com I just got this camera at the $799 special that Amazon had going. I've had a D70 since they came out (my D70 is almost 5 years old) and apart from a hot line of pixels that shows up now and then (especially at higher isos), its been great. However, the one thing I've always faulted the D70 for is the crappy view finder and crappy screen. from Amazon.com This is one professional camera at an amazing price. I use this exclusively for professional portrait and wedding photography. The only thing negative I would say is it eats battery life, even without "chimping". But thats to be expected I suppose from such a high performer such as the D200. from Amazon.com What happens when you wanted a new at the time D2x or a D2Hs, but the $$$s just didn't make any sense. Buy the D200 instead and get some great glass instead. from Amazon.com
