My used but new-to-me D200 arrived from B&H this afternoon and I'm stunned by the condition it's in. It was listed on the BH website as "8 - Well used - may exhibit "dings" or finish marks," but I gotta tell ya it looks almost new. Only one slight scuff just forward of the right strap-lug and another teeny scrape on the edge below the rear LCD. Best of all, shutter count is only 23,441.
I've bought from B&H before, but never a used camera, so I'm really amazed. Gotta hand it to them for their under-describing, over-delivering on used gear.
Now all I gotta do is figure out how to set it up! Looks like a project or the rest of the week. Would certainly welcome suggestions. I'll be using it mostly to shoot action with my old AF-D ED 70-300 f/4-5.6 for now. Will probably upgrade to a VR tele within a few months, but the old lenses I have from film days will work for now.
EDIT: Ha! Just got a PM from footjack that he's sent the D200 setup guide I asked him for. So I'm good to go for the next couple days. Thanks, Jack!
