I just bought a Nikon
Feb 6, 2012 17:06:03 #
I been using Canon cameras since I went to Digital I have a 20D & a 40D with a lot of lenses right now and have not used a Nikon since my film days, well I just bought a used Nikon D 200 at a good price thought I'd give it a try I have a friend that shoots one so I can use some of his lenses and I still have a couple of lenses from Nikon film cameras, What do you think of this body ?

The D200 is a sound body. Many photographers who purchased D200s years ago, kept them as reliable back-up cameras for their newer models.

I still use mine- for Boy Scouts, kid's school events, Great body. Battery life is a bit short, but I have spares.
I think most people would have a hard time outgrowing it's potential. I'm biased, but I think it' may be equal to your 40D.

Glad to hear you came back from the dark side (Cannon) Seriously the D200 is a great camera hope you take a lot of great photos with it. I used Cannon film cameras for years with alot of great results.

Price of the D200's has been dropping fast for a year now. Nothing wrong with them at all, they take very nice pics. Congrats.

It's easier to control the light from the "Dark Side" hence better photos. :lol:

How can Canon be the "dark side" with all those off-white lenses?
That is what I thought too. The Nikon was always referred to by photographers as the "dark side" because mostly all nikon bodies and lens are black.

I have 2 and use them all the time have never had any issue and they take very good photos and are quite versatile.

I bought the D70 when it came out...then the D200 and D300 when it came out. I also bought a Canon 5DMark II and use all my cameras. All are great with no problems. My daughter will inherit the D300 when she goes to college. Love Nikon and Canon.
