The D200 has a 8gb sandisk limit. Get an 8 gb or less and it will be fine.

Again...that was "As Shipped." There was a firmware update that specifically extended operation to larger capacity cards. I think it may have been the same one that added Image Authentication functionality. The OP had a D200 that would use the larger cards and so did I. But apparently the memory extension does not work on all D200s. And as far as I can tell, the online manual was not updated to match functional changes implemented in later firmware versions.

Looking for some insight . I've owned a Nikon D200 since 2006. It's been a great camera and still is. Have been using a San Disk 2gb compact flash card since probably 2008. Have had zero problems. Today, I made a stop at one of the local pawn shops and found a mint looking D200 in its original box. It was a body only, no charger, no flash card.... I go out and pull the flash card and charged battery out of my camera, install in the shop camera to check it out, and it works fine! I make the purchase for $75, stop at the local best buy for a new compact flash card... a san disk 32 gb. Go back out, install in my new camera and it wont work! Has a flashing "CHN" code. The manual says the card is not Nikon compatable. I take the new card out of the "new" camera and put it in my old camera and it works fine. Again I put my old 2gb card in the new camera and it works fine. What can the difference be in the two cards?

If you have the owner's manual, check page 183,and page 194. it tells you the card limit and you may need to format the card. I have the D200 I use both SanDisk and Lexar 8GB cards. this was the limit it mentions on the book.

Yes...from a camera standpoint, the D300 has distinct advantages over the D200...less noise, significantly more and better menu options and flexibility, and the D300s uses dual memory cards. Other cameras have distinct advantages over the D300. I have a couple of them. But I also still have and use both a D300 and a D300s when I need smaller images or just when I don't want to carry a more expensive camera.

But you miss the point. The CCD sensor in the D200 naturally offers unique and very attractive and pleasing image characteristics that are difficult to approximate with newer cameras which all use CMOS sensors.

And while I understand that for any of several reasons you might not choose to use a D300, the truth is that it can create images that are indistinguishable from those of newer cameras, up to image sizes of 11x14 or so. It is a perfectly serviceable camera for a photographer on a tight budget or for a photographer who just doesn't feel the urge to buy every new thing that comes along.

I was not degrading the D200 or the D300. The D300 is a superb performer. As you stated.

I have D200. I got mine November a year ago. It came with a couple of 4 gig cards. I have purchased a couple of 16 gig Centron cards that work fine plus a 32 gig SanDisk Extreme that works fine too. I can tell by the expected capacity count that it sees, recognizes and can utilize the full 32 gig amount.
I checked the version on mine and it is 2.01. I have also read other reports of this same issue you have. Some will take a 16 to 32 gig card, some will not ????? Beats the Hell outta me what it is. But ! you do have two good cameras. Yea yea they are 2006 models but hey, they work damn good especially for the price. I just recently purchased a lens from a member here and he has two D200s' also plus a ff camera.
He likes his too. Oh hey, my truck is a 2002, I have two Miata's , a 2000 and a 2001SE. So. If you find out why the one will not take a 32 gig, please let us know. Have you tried a 16 gig in it just to see if that will work ? Thanks.

I haven't tried anything else except the two gigabyte card it works fine and that's really all I need in it for now. My original camera now has a brand new 32 GB and that's more than enough!

Oh yea it is, I know.
I shoot RAW+JPEG Fine, I can go all day on the 8 or 16 gigs. I have not have the chance to really try to test 32 but the counter shows I can shoot more than I can shoot in a day. I am fine with my 4s' and 8' too, I just got the others just in case. Better to have more than short.
Thank you for the reply.
Enjoy your new toy.
