[QUOTE="SamSpade1941, post: 130741, member: 10336"] It really depends on how many actuations the camera has and how many accessories you are getting with the camera. I recently bought two D200 cameras. One of them I paid $400 for but it was IR converted so you cannot really use the values of standard cameras as a metric there considering what the conversions cost. I actually got a good deal on my camera because they can run closer to $550 to $600 if you do not have a donor camera for the conversion already. My other camera had 12,000 actuations on it when I got it and was in Ex ++ condition when I got it and it came with a ton of accessories. I paid $240 for it. I will be perfectly honest and say if it were not for the fact I was wanting an IR camera I would have taken all that money and bought a D300s it is a better performer but for the type of photography I do and the ISO speeds I shoot at typically the D200 works fine for me, I am not a pro and I will get a several years use out of this at least till the D700 comes down to a price I can afford. I love my D200 cameras they are a serious step up in gear from my D40 in every way possible. So if you can get the camera cheaply go for it , but be wary of the shutter count and condition. [/QUOTE]
