NEF
At first, I hated it. As a novice photographer I felt the camera was finicky, hunted for focus, and was generally difficult to shoot with. I regretted the purchase, and put together a CraigsList ad to get it off my hands. For whatever reason, though, I never wound up responding to any of the interested buyers.
As I've gotten better with my photography technique and gotten to understand the ins and outs of the D200 controls, I absolutely adore it. When the wife and I are both out shooting together I have no qualms about carrying the D200 all day, and the D90 gets zero jealous glances from me.
It's a solid camera, and unlike every other bit of tech I've ever owned, I like it more and more as the months pass. (Actually, I can say that about the D90 too). If I want to shoot low light at higher ISOs, I use the D90 (this is the D200's achilles heel). The rest of the time, I run around with the D200. The combination has done something incredible for me, a notorious glutton for the next best tech: The D300s exists, and I don't even care.
Now, the D3 on the other hand... WANT.
