I like a few others here recieved a D200 as a Xmas present, Santa was also kind enough to provide a Lightsphere and also a 18-200 (yet to be used). Any ways it seems tradition almost to post some shots just to prove yes I have a new camera so here is the obligatory, I've got a D200 yay post!

#1 First my cousin Nathan, well and truely sick of my and my cameras by the end of Boxing Day...

#2 His Dad, Uncle Jim enjoying the warm weather.

#3 The lovely texture of an old tombstone.

#4 A Rose (had to poke the camera through a fence)

Thoughts and feedback welcome, those that helped Santa compile her I mean his list THANK YOU very much!!!!

Ho ho ho! happy Christmas! I'm glad Santa gave you such a big gift! You must have been an extremely good well behaved person this year

Was it the real Santa, or did you bribe Santa with the cost of the D200

Was the 2nd picture taken also using the lightsphere - do you use the dome with it?

Yeah I was using the lightsphere and most of the time with the dome (when outside), not always pointing at the subject I mixed it up a little.

Santa was well informed on what I'd like if he could afford it.

So Craig, how many shots have you fired off in the last few days, i find myself chasing our three dogs to the point where they dont run anymore.

It is such a nice camera. I found and am still finding a big step up from the d70 but i am absolutly loving the 5FPS and the shutter noise.

Another lucky one....

I'm loving the camera but I've been very restrained I think I haven't even broken the 100 shot count yet, It is a big step up from the d70, which I never truely mastered... This time I'm trying to understand the camera a little more so I don't develop bad habits like I did with the d70.

Nice shots Craig - lovely detail, exposure and DOF.

Looks like you have mastered that new weapon already.

I was a good boy but I didn't get a D200 :cry:

Maybe next year :lol:

Cheers, Mick

At the time most of these were taken I think I was still trying to find out how to get it out of P mode into A or S mode..

Still got a long way to go, but credit to the camera it seems to know what its doing even if I don't!

Either way, congrats Craig, you gonna enjoy the new combo as much as any D200 users here
