Nikon - D200 Digital Camera Reviews

The Nikon D200 is more camera than I need. It is my wife's camera and we got it for her about a year ago. I've had many opportunities to use it and there is no question that it takes pictures of wonderful quality.

What It Is

The Nikon D200 is a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera body, and it can be bought without a lens, which is how we purchased it. We fitted it with an inexpensive 3x zoom lens and a much more expensive 11x zoom lens, both from Nikon and made to work with the D200. The camera has 10 megapixels of resolution but this only scratches the surface of the camera's image quality -- the D200...

I am a Navy photographer and use the Nikon D200 for my job.  It is a very reliable camera and has a lot of options to individualize my photos.  Instead of relying on computer programs I can edit and shoot many things within the camera, including RAW.  Double exposure is one of my favorite and not found on very many digital cameras.  Though there is always a special place in my heart for black and white film photography digital is another option to consider and this camera is very affective.

I have owned the Nikon D200 for almost a year now. It is an excellant camera and I've had much success with it. It is a 10 mega pixel, which helps with quality and file size if you like stock photography. You can start taking quality pictures right off the bat without having to play with adjustments. Once you become more familiar with the camera, then you can fine tune it however you like. There are many setting built in that can be fine tuned but, if you're not sure of what you are doing it can be quite confusing. Only negative thing I thought of the Nikon D200 was when I first purchased it. At...

The Nikon D200 is an awesome pro-level camera for a pretty good price. It has a lot of optional accessories, but I have yet to buy any.

The "fuel gauge function" on the rechargeable battery is great. It gives you a detailed view of how much power is remaining. Just watch out if you buy an extra battery or have another Nikon camera without the fuel gage - you can't interchange the two types of batteries.

Many purchase options only come with the camera body, so it is nice to be able to pick exactly which lens(es) you want. I have two of Nikon's vibration reduction lenses and they work great with...

I have now owned the D200 for over a year and a half and have shot thousands of pictures with it. It is well built, mine has been lugged to Asia twice and to the western region of the United States about 3 times now.

I have made some great prints from this camera. I have very pleased with it having the black & white mode built into it since I often like creating B/W prints.

The controls on the camera are mush nicer than most other DSLRs. You have direct manual dial control of many key functions, such as, exposure mode and ISO settings. This is such a time saver since it helps a photographer...

The fav D200 from Nikon!!! 

I have had this camera for a while and it goes everywhere I go. It has withstood many bumps, drops, humidity, anything you name it. Of course you have to have it serviced once a year at least. But will keep taking awsome shots, still and action. My passion is taking scenery pictures, which means mostly still shots and the quality of Nikon glass is the best for these kinds of pictures. But now I have a child, which means plenty of action shots. And this camera has not failed me on that job.

I only have one real lense (18-200 VR) that I mainly use. It is a heavy lense and...

My Nikon D200 has opened up a whole new world of advanced Digital SLR photography. I got into digital SLR photography a couple of years ago with an entry level Nikon D50. This introduced me to the concept of images that could then be processed into fine photographs. After just a few months I wanted to step up to a higher level camera. The Nikon D200 has been great. I have traveled around the western US and taken thousands of images. My photography has become better than I ever thought it could using the Nikon D200. There are now more advanced systems from Nikon but I still am getting great results...

I finally switched to digital and have found this camera to give me the ability to continue to get the photos that I want.  I like the fact that the D200 is nearly the same as my F100 so I can switch between film and digital easily.

The only downside to the D200 that I have found is the automatic setting for the white balance does not seem to be accurate.  It is fine for natural daylight but for incandescent lighting it did not get the colors correct.  The photos still had some yellow to it.  When I switched to the incandescent setting the colors were correct.

The biggest problem I have with...

A superb digital camera. Excellent image quality. Super fast continuous frame rate even shooting in RAW. Large LCD display screen. A professional quality camera in every respect.

 A huge upgrade over the D100 it replaces. The custom white balance function yields PERFECT color balance underwater at depth of 50 feet even in relatively poor visibility water (which according to most published sources shouldn't be possible due to a lack of red penetrating beyond 15 feet).

Compatible with most Nikon SLR lenses of the past 50 years (albeit sometimes without functions such as auto focus or auto exposure)....

I love my D200!  I suggest getting the additional battery pack with it I can photograph all day (about 1,000 pics) and still have juice left over.  I love leaving it on automatic and letting it sense the best settings, and also appreciate the ease with which I can take over when conditions make it better to be in manual.

The speed is fabulous.  I can make a flip book of one of our dance sets.  The continuous shoot feature is handy doing group pictures to make sure you have the best chance of one with eyes open and facing you.

Good digital camera for semi-pro. It is a little too heavy though, but with the quality of the pictures it takes, I do not mind it.

Sometimes i find it a little too dificult to navigate it s features, especially with the flash i have.

Overall a great camera.

My Nikon-D200 is wonderful, It is easy to use, has many features I love, like the cropping , pictures are clear and easy to load onto my computer. The only thing I don't like-it uses too many batteries.
