Nikon D200 digital camera

A couple of friends have recently been enthusing about the Nikon D200 digital SLR camera so I thought I should give it a mention here.

The Nikon D200 was announced in November 2005, almost three and a half years after its predecessor, the D100.

While it occupies the same place in their lineup, between the high-end pro cameras (the D2Xs) and their consumer line (currently topped by the D80), the D200 really goes far beyond what would normally be considered as a prosumer model.

In virtually every detail, the Nikon D200 creates a new category, that of a compact professional SLR.

The Nikon D200 takes up second position in the ranks of the company’s most formidable SLR bodies, marking the fourth home run they’ve hit in the last two years. The D200 is worthy of both the praise and the price. This 10.2 MP beauty is a serious bit of kit and currently retails for about $1700.
