    Is nikon d200 still good?
    elidia_wisoky
    about 2 years ago
    Yes it's fine for portrait photography, but what's more important is learning how to see and create good light. A lens like the Nikkor 50mm f1. 8 (75mm equivalent on the D3100) would be a good first lens for portraits. Great images are all about lighting so I'd strongly suggest doing a lot of reading,...

    The D200 is Nikon's latest DSLR. It's a semi-pro camera positioned between the hugely popular D70s and the full-time professional D2X.

    Does nikon d200 have internal memory?
    gil_auer
    about 2 years ago
    The D200, like all professional digital cameras, has a second very high speed internal cache memory called a buffer. You never touch this. This buffer memory stores 25 frames of JPGs, 21 frames of raw or 19 frames of raw + JPG. The buffer memory is fast enough to store all these frames at the full 5FPS rate, or faster.

    florance.cremin
    about 2 years ago
    Like other Nikon SLRs, the D200 accommodates a wide range of Nikkor lenses, via the standard Nikon "F" lens mount. The D200's lens mount includes both a mechanical AF coupling for older lenses, and AF electrical contacts for the latest AF-IF or AF-S Nikkor lenses with internal focus motors.

    The Nikon D200 does not provide live-view. You have two options for using this camera with Dragonframe: Use a separate video camera or USB camera to provide live video. Work without live video, capturing 'preview' frames instead.

Nikon’s D200; A 10.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Built For Comfort, And Speed

The latest Nikon entry in the digital SLR market is the D200, a 10.2-megapixel digital SLR that combines a strong, pro-caliber build with 5 fps speed, all for a competitive $1699 list price (body only). The Nikon DX format CCD retains the 1.5x magnification factor of previous Nikon sensors, plus borrows many of the metering and some of the image-processing capabilities of the pro D2X. Similar to the D2 line is the 11-area AF and 3D Color Matrix Metering II as well. Indeed, perhaps reading more into the naming than Nikon may have intended, the D200

Professional picture quality, high-resolution, extensive accessory options and a competitive price tag make this camera a great choice for serious photographers.[ia] With a top resolution of 10.2 megapixels, Nikon's latest DSLR, the D200, sits between the popular 6-megapixel D70/D70s model and the 12-megapixel D2X. Similar in size but slightly heavier than the D70s, the D200 is lighter and much less bulky than the D2X and much more comfortable to use. The new model has plenty to offer to professional photographers but its pricing will please serious enthusiasts with a suite of legacy Nikkor lenses.

Nikon D200 Review

The Nikon D200 was announced on 1st November 2005, some three and a half years since Nikon revealed their first prosumer digital SLR, the D100. It's fair to say however that the D200 is a completely different beast altogether, it shares far more with its 'bigger brother' the the D2X than its earlier namesake. The D200 has the robust build quality of the D2X, a 10.2 million pixel CCD sensor and a compact design more like the D100. Just as the D100 the D200 has a CCD sensor, unlike the D2X which utilized a CMOS sensor. It's clear that this camera is aimed at the same kind of market as the recently announced Canon EOS 5D. From a features, control and performance point of view the D200 is closer to the D2X than any other model.

The Nikon/Canon rivalry is to photographers as the Apple/Microsoft rivalry is to computer nerds, or the BMW/Mercedes rivalry is to car aficionados. No matter which side you choose, if either, you can't help but appreciate the other side for fostering a competition that yields better products for everyone. Years ago, Canon took Nikon by surprise
