Had 2 weddings to photograph over the weekend so got the opportunity to really put the new D200 to the test. Here are a few samples of the one I did on Saturday.
These 3 images are straight out of the camera. No adjustments have been made as yet (except for a quick b/w conversion).............. I'm getting there though just can't find the time at the moment!
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF USING THIS CAMERA, VERY SMOOOOOTH!!!

Very nice photos. I especially like the second and third.
Did you do any low-light shooting with the D200? In a church or any such place? If so could you comment on the Autofocus performance?
Thanks
Paul

Beautiful work. Are all your incamera settings on default? Or have you upped the incamera sharpening / colour etc.
Also what lenses did you use?
Well done. Like the composition.

Sorry, it should be back by now - OPPS!!! Thanks everyone for all your comments.
All camera setting are totally default. I simply use A priority and that's it. All these shots were taken with my 80-200 ED lens (which by the way is still for sale - nobody wants it unless I give it up for $300 or something ridiculous like that!!!)  SORRY - OFF TOPIC but I thought i'd throw it in
These pics were also taken with the D200 on the Friday - really lovely couple. Had an absolute ball with them and their HUGE bridal party!!
(this shot was only intended as a "formal muck around" shot - I don't normally pose bridal parties this way

Nice wedding memories there, for straight from cam they look good and you have your subjects in memorable moments and poses and framed well...
The group shot looks relaxed and fun, and I especially like the last one, just really works well for me...
Good work...

Wow, these are great shots and that is SOME bridal party. They seem to be getting bigger these days.
