Nikon D200 digital SLR review at ephotozine.

In summery[sic], the positive points of the D200 are:

• Excellent build and good sealing.


• Fast and accurate 11 point autofocus system a good step up from the older CAM900


• Good noise control (for a CCD sensor)


• Full range of easily configured controls, good metering and TTL flash systems.


• Much improved CF access.


• Excellent value for money.

The negative points are:

• RAW Software included is abysmal. Capture 4 is extra and still not good.


• Batteries not compatible with D70/70s


• Viewfinder only 95% coverage (minor niggle)

Personally, I don't see the D200 as a compelling upgrade from what I already have - the D70. If I were buying now, instead of about a year ago, then the D200 would be what I was aiming for.
