[QUOTE="Ben321, post: 492962, member: 40708"] There's just one feature I see in the manual [url]http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D200_en.pdf[/url] that makes me not want to buy the D200. That is the fact that noise reduction can never be completely disabled if you are shooting at over ISO 800. Even when you have the "off" setting selected in the noise reduction menu, which kind of violates the dictionary definition of the word "off". Unless there's some firmware hack you can do, it appears that above ISO 800 there is no way to disable noise reduction. Why do you suppose they did this? Are they trying to push people to purchase more expensive models of their cameras, by intentionally including undesirable "features" in cheaper models? What is the cheapest Nikon DSLR that has both an uncompressed raw mode, and also allows you to truly turn off all noise reduction? [/QUOTE]
