Nikon D200 Review

PC Magazine Editor’s Choice - Mar 2006

“As with most digital SLRs, the Nikon D200 comes loaded with controls, both automatic and manual. It also performs beautifully and takes truly amazing pictures. But the camera’s innovative ability to control lighting, particularly in studio situations, is what really impressed me enough to select it as our new Editors’ Choice.”

As reviewed by Naturfotograf

“The Nikon D200 establishes itself firmly as the much longed-for “digital” F100. Alternatively, it can be seen as a wolf in lamb’s clothing. You get an image quality within a hair’s width of the D2X, Nikon’s current digital flagship. In some aspects the D200 performs even better; for example, ISO noise is slightly lower over much of the range, and the risk of blown highlights is subtly reduced when the camera is run on automatic metering modes. On the other hand, the D2X excels in terms of sheer ruggedness, better auto white balance, faster shooting speeds, HSC (High-Speed Crop) feature, and handling, although consideration of the latter surely is up to the end user. You get a very decent viewfinder, excellent AF performance, GPS support just like the professional big brothers (D1H, D1X, D2Hs, D2X), and a metering system that you can rely on. Plus the opportunity to switch from having a small, neat camera for long hikes to a bigger unit with the bolt-on MB-D200 power grip.”

There are many other Nikon D200 review and one thing is common among all those. When it comes to performance, they’re all praises.
