    Nice!
    Please let us know what you think. I know a couple of others have chimed in about it, but I am still on the fence (I have a D70, and don't know if I really need an upgrade right now) and I want to hear as many opinions as possible.

    Have fun!

    I love mine...even more than my D2X to be honest. I dumped the D70 to have the D200 as primary for certain events. The difference between the D70 is fairly drastic ESPECIALLY if you're not used to being more of a manual photographer.

    And the D200 with the MB-D200 batt house turns the thing bigger than the D2X.

    My only complaint on the D200 thus far is the battery life is much lower than I expected.

    It looks like a pretty sweet camera. The more I see it, the more I like it. If I had gone Nikon it would probably be the camera I would have chosen.

    This coming from a Canon guy.... In my search for a 1D II N, I found a D200 on E-bay. From Cameta camera I think. If you want one, they are there!

    I have to keep reminding myself that my D100's still work and do what I need. The D200 is just so tempting! Congratulations on your new purchase.

    If I had one I'd also be making less money right now because I'd surely take some time off of work to play with it and learn all it's nuances.
