Has anyone printed images from a Nikon P900 or a D200?

I have both cameras and thinking of having some of my images printed. If you have, what size prints were excellent? How much was cropped? How high an ISO still provided a quality print? I would like to learn from your experiences. Thank you.

I have personally printed 16x20 images from my D200. It's been awhile and I can't remember specifics but I rarely shoot above 400 ISO. The prints are good, minimal cropping.

What size prints are you thinking of. I have printed very nice 8x10's from my P900, but nothing larger. Nothing cropped.

I'm hoping to print 11x14 but mostly 8x10's. Thanks insman1132.

Thanks hammer531, Which camera did you print the images from? Do you remember what ISO you used?

I have made many many prints from my D200, but that was long ago. Most likely, the largest I printed on a regular basis was a 16 x 20. Needed to be a clean shot with a bit of pp to look good, but that was easily done. No experience with the P900. Best of luck.

I used a d200 . Iso was 200 for the 8x10s , the 16x20 was Iso 400 .

60,000 shot on D200. The older sensor is great for portraits to 16x20. It's CCD and to my eye is less crisp (but sharp) than CMOS & therefor more flattering.

I've printed modestly cropped images from my D200 up to 40x60 with excellent results. I can't offer anything on the P900, don't have one.

WOW Gene51, that is far larger than I will get prints. That is so encouraging.
