First post from my D200 :)
A couple of photo's from my first plays with the D200...
70-300G @ 112mm, f/7.1 1/60th ISO100 
70-300G @ 135mm, f/7.1 1/60th ISO 100 OK - so they show up the softness of the 70-300G, but so far, I'm bloody impressed with this camera 
Colours (to my eyes at least) are pretty much spot on. These are both quite tight crops from the original frame -  
Why the 70-300G? I was really just trying it out to see how focus performance was (which is definately better than on the D70). *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
You won't be dissapointed with your new toy Leon, and in your capable hands it will only be a short matter of time before you are showing us your brilliant images! Congrats buddy. Well deserved.

I love the blue one !
I've also gone from a D70 to a D200, partly cos of focus, and I'm finding it hard with things like moving cars to get the settings right, need to practice more!
Absolutely terrible pics Leon
 Only joking, I am sure you will find your new camera will lead to more POTW and the blue is terrific  Chris

Don't worry, I won't tell J *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Thanks all - one last one on this thread - love the graduations within the same colour. This camera seems to handle this so much better than the D70 (which was no slouch!)...
70-300mm @ 200mm, f8 1/90th ISO100 Will have to do a proper comparison sometime between the two cameras. *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Leon I agree 100% - the D200's colour management system seems to perform at an exceptional level

The comparison between the D70 and D200 would be agreat service to many of us if you could find the time to do so.
In the end we know Nothing, but in the meantime Learn like crazy.
Your Camera Does Matter Nikon D70 D200 D300 PPOK
 Now you are all just showing off.... Some of us poor folk still have the good old D70 with no plans to upgrade
Nice pictures BTW. Especially the yellow flower, oh and the blues are awesome too Oh bugger it now I really want a D200. Mal
I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.
Something I'm finding, is that in post processing there seems to be less need to play with curves - am pretty happy with the images thus far straight off the camera.
I have a few things to get done over the next few days (am finally starting to feel a bit better), but once these are out of the way I'll start on some real playing - I need to try all the picture settings and see how they differ. Will share the results
In the meantime, here's a couple more shots from today (yes, I know I said the last one would be the last, but I just can't help myself) - some of you guys sound like you need a little more convincing ...
50mm, f9 1/80th ISO100, onboard flash for fill 
50mm, f8 1/125th ISO100, onboard flash for fill *** When getting there is half the fun! ***

Looks good
Enjoy the new toy.
How does the D200 handle reds by the way? Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone
Come follow the rabbit hole...
A fine selection there Leon. Of course if you had a REAL camera the images would be even better

Nice pics. I agree the D200 does handle colour and, I feel, contrast, much better that the D70. You seem to get more details in both the highlights and shadows.
