need some reviews. I'm reading is noisy and not sharp as other Nikons. Feedback please. Hubby is waiting..........
The Nikon D80 and D200 share a very similar imager. They are identical in most respects except for the D200 having more channels to strip the information off and send to the image processor.
The way that images are procesed appears to be different between the two cameras and the D80, being of more recent design, has visibly better high-ISO JPGs.
RAW images are going to process very similarly if not identically.
Again, reread the list of differences:
"I too recommend that you consider the D200. Compared to the D80 it offers the following advantages:
It has a higher shooting rate (5 fps vs 3 fps), a higher shutter speed (1/8000th vs 1/4000th), much more information in the viewfinder (especially the ISO), the D200 meters with older manual focus lenses, the D200 has mirror-lock-up, faster flash sync, shorter shutter lag, much deeper shot buffer and lastly the shutter is supposed to be twice as durable in the D200 vs the D80.
Then again, the D80 is lighter and shoots more images with the same battery. The D80 also has slightly better high-ISO JPGs. In RAW they are very similar however."
If you want even better noise control at high-ISO, then you must either choose a more recent model Nikon, the D300, D3 or D700, or wait to see if something is announced in about a month.

I concur............TOTALLY
IMHO no, as you will be able to grow with the D200 for many years to come!
Okay you all have convinced me I'm D200 shopping.......thanks so much. Now when I get it and can't work it I expect some tutorials.....:ivar
