DCRP's Review of the Nikon D200
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 AM
"The Nikon D200 ($1699 body only) is the long-awaited upgrade to their popular D100, which was introduced way back in 2002. The D200 is a vast improvement over that camera, so much so that they're not really comparable anymore. The closest competitor is probably Canon's EOS-30D, which was just introduced. There are so many new things on the D200 that I'll just list some of the highlights. It has a new 10.2 Megapixel CCD, which is quite a jump from the 6MP sensor on the D50/D70/D100 models. The LCD display got bigger, too: it's now up to 2.5" inches and it's one of the best ones I've seen. Camera performance is also superb, from nearly instant startup speeds to its 5 frame/second burst mode. Heck, even the battery life is impressive. And of course, the D200 has all the manual controls and optional extras that make a D-SLR so desirable. I'll be covering those features and plenty more in our full D200 review, which starts right now!"
A detailed review of the Nikon D200 - I still feel tempted. ;-)
UPDATE: Ah, the mother of all reviews has been also been published, the dpreview Nikon D200 review. There will be a lot to chew on in that review...
