Well curt, you have had it for a while now so what are your thoughts of it?
New D200
- Thread starter Ruidoso Bill
- Start date
Bill, I love it! It has such a nice feel, very well made. I have been using it so much my D80 is getting jealous…lol.
It a fantastic camera, the more I use it, the more I like it. At first I missed the Re touch menu on my D80, but I am really getting use to the D200.
I love all the on camera quick switch setting, instead of having to go into the menu. Love the D200

.Bill it was a obvious choice, I was looking at the D300 but I did not like the fact it had video capability with live view. To me a professional camera should not have those features (should be left to camcorders and low end pocket cameras..lol).
So the D200 was the best choice, I love the camera, and I am getting very use to its features. With the MB-D200 battery grip it feels great, very happy with my choice

Hauled mine all over a park in Austin, TX this morning. They work great in high heat and high humidity. Combined a little shooting with my grandson and geocaching.
Curt, I couldn't agree more about the video stuff! Doesn't belong on a high end camera like the D200, and I'm glad it's not on mine! I love my D200 just the way it is!
I discover something new about my D200 almost everyday, and with all the advice given on this forum it all helps. I am getting more and more comfortable with it. I absolutely love my D200 as well. Used it on the weekend at the beach (you will see some pics. Posted on my gallery soon…lol).
Well this fall I hope to post a lot more portrait work. I want to start putting some of my light equipment to work. Speed lights, umbrella diffusers, etc. Summer I like to get outdoors and shot a lot of nature, macro, plants, bugs, animals, etc. I can’t wait to put that D200 to workJ.
Baldy, what firmware version is in your camera? It should be 2.01. If not, then you need to download the newer firmware. It resolves that power sucking battery issue.

That'a why I ended up with a D300, funny thing is I actually have a small need for video coming up but I'll buy a kodak or flip for it. I've never had a problem with weight, actually think it makes one a little more stable.
