Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

The little brother to the Nikon D2X, the D200 can hold its own in the digital camera schoolyard. It’s magnesium alloy body, 1/8000 shutter speed and medley of other features give it a truly professional feel.

When dpreview assessed this product, released in November 2005, it said users would have difficulty finding a situation where the D200 couldn’t stand up to its big brother. Many describe it as a compact version of the D2x.

It’s also half the price. The lowest price I could find for the Nikon D200 (body only) was $1,279, while the Nikon D2X lowest price was $3,899 (body only).
