Nikon D200 - Latest toy
Aug 22, 2015 18:32:41 #
I have had the D200 for four years,and I use it for any photographic occasion. I used for weddings and official functions. It has never let me down, and it's still going strong. I also have various lenses all of the same era. Recently I have been toying with idea of upgrading to the D750. But every time I am out using my D200 and go home to have a look of my images, and see how good they are, I sort of think am I going to get better images, if I spend $2450.00 (the going price here in Sydney) if I upgrade, and also the cost of getting the full frame lenses to go with it.
I haven't upgraded yet, and perhaps I will when my faithful D200 starts to wear down.

Great IQ but hated the D7xxx layout.
I like sticking to the D200, 300, 700 & 800 layout.
Makes more sense to me.
Your mileage may vary.

I'm with you. Currently using the 700. Why did they downgrade the 750 body?

I have a D300 & D300S and love them. The layout is perfect I think. But I need better low light results so I bought a used D700. WOW.! It's just a full frame D300 with the same exact control layout. It's all I need, and the low light results are beautiful.

What you expressed about the controls is why people loved the D300/D300s so much and why there is so much desire for a D400. These cameras are so well designed I can't imagine why Nikon had to mess with the package!
Totally agree. I still have my D300-- and love the hefty feel to it. For all the advancements that have been made, it has a set of features that are rarely found on a single DSLR. I, too, wish they had made a D400. I'd have one.

All this talk about how great this camera is makes me want to get one. I actually found one for a good price, I am seriously considering the purchase.

I use a D800 and D700. Lately I find myself using the 700 more. It seems to control noise better and 36 mpx. fills up the buffer to the extent that I miss shots with the 800.

I bought this lens 70-210 recently for $50 and now use all the time with my D200. I discovered a horse ranch in a walking distance from my house and lately been taking a lot of pictures with the lens on my D200. This one is from this morning.
WOW! Great image! I guess I'll have to pull my D200 out of retirement.....

Yes, put it to work, it might surprise you again as many years ago.

You won't regret it, The D200 is still one of the best cameras Nikon produced with it's Titanium body and a very good sensor, it will be in use for a while yet.

Doesn't someone on the forum here have an "in" with Nikon? They need to know how much a D400 would be appreciated. Although I have moved to FF and shoot with a D800 and D700, I keep a lens (usually the 28-300) on a D7000 to make use of the 1.5 factor. I would like to eventually upgrade the crop sensor to make use of the newer and better software associated with the newer Nikons. When I do upgrade, I would like it to have the same set of controls that the D200 and D300 series cameras had.

Me too. I go out with a Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm on my D700, a AF-D 80-200mm on my D300s and a 105mm f/2.8 in my pocket.
