Lunch in the Australian national botanic gardens

I am blown away by this camera... the interface is so intuative... I love that you can change focus, metering, and almost any other mode without going into menus....

Images are stunning straight out of the box eh?

I really loved the BIG screen and accurate WB on the D200 8)

Make sure you watch the skin colours with the D200 - they come out very reddy/yellow - dial back saturation to (-) (moderate from memory)

Happy shooting :D

Very impressed by the photos taken by D200.
Great camera.
I now use D70 and D200.
I use many of my old manual lenses even Hasselblad lenses on D200 and works perfectly.

Hi Scott,

tsss, tsss - when did you become the proud owner of a D200 ? :lol:
Congratulations 8)
Did you get the vertical grip aswell ?
Enjoy - I agree with your findings, I think the technical side of photography has become much easier with the D200.

Regards,
CD

D200+ Vertical grip is really good, I tried one for a couple of weeks, and now I really missed it... looks like its gonna burn another hole in my pocket... but must resist this side effect :twisted:
