The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on December 12, 2022 Pros: Sensor, old style construction, few Mpx with consequent lightness of the files, perfect for the BN Cons: Images not very detailed, lack of fine calibration of the optics, ISO hold above 1600, but for the current cost ... nothing Opinion: A tank with a CCD that returns delicate images, with soft tonal passages and a natural complexion, although let's forget the detail of sensors with more mpx. On the other hand, not having the fine adjustment of the lenses, you must have luck in the couplings. For what it costs (paid 120 euros in excellent condition and complete with BG and memory card) I recommend it to always carry around without too many worries, especially if you often shoot in BN. |
  | sent on April 22, 2021 Pros: CCD, Body, everything you can have a PRO Cons: nobody Opinion: Purchased for the third time, a CCD reflex must be in my kit... great PRO with the controls in the right place. Used to the D3x and D3s I bought it with battery grip, I will use it for sports and for ceremonies with D series and Ais optics, I am curious to see the photos printed on a 30x30 along with some magnification. I like the perfect 1600 and 3200 ISO grain with the Nikon 50mm f1.2 Ais and now with the Nikon af 35-70 f2.8D |
 | sent on December 31, 2020 Pros: setting commands, faithful color rendering, details despite the few pixels, small files, extreme reliability Cons: may have more pixels, noise above 800 ISO Opinion: I have had it for several years, used little and soon flanked by a D7100. Well, I have to say that the D200 cannot compete with the D7100 in speed, definition, noise management. But I'm rediscovering it right now. The quality of the images produced by the D200 have something that makes them absolutely unique. Although they have a definition certainly lower than those produced at the D7100, they greatly stimulate my desire to photograph. I took several photos of the Moon and produced photos for some websites: in these cases I used the sharp definition of the D7100, the D200 would never get to this degree of detail. But a portrait, a panorama, an interior (if with easel) produced with the D200 always have an i don't know that makes them more fascinating. The experts say it is thanks to the CCD sensor, I am not so experienced, but I evaluate only the shots I get and the pleasure of use. In essence, although certainly outdated in many, almost all, points of view, it is still very usable and enjoyable. I'm never going to get rid of it. |
 | sent on October 27, 2020 Pros: Image Quality, Solidity, Physical Key Position Cons: High ISO, Battery Life Opinion: Coming from a Canon AV-1, I started shooting digitally with a 2012 Nikon D3100, then bought "gifted" my D200, taking a step back 6 years, but a huge leap forward. Despite having passed a lot of water under the bridges, the D200 has qualities to sell. The CCD sensor, beyond the brilliance of the colors, allows you to recover photographs that at first glance, on the tiny LCD seem lost, to throw away.. paired with vintage optics there is a lot of fun. Sublime the location of the keys: everything is exactly where it should be. Cumbersome and "analog" the mechanics to zoom in on the screen; you will be annoyed to do so, and you will learn to rely, without making mistakes, on the machine. It is heavy, a lot, but it makes it possible to balance equally heavy targets. Don't hold it around your neck.. I recommend you. The only sore note (for me ISOs are not) the battery life: it could be the old age of mine, but with the long exposures I advise you to have a couple more charges. For what it costs used, to this end of October 2020 I would tell you to take it, play it, take it to the limit. Fall in love with it. |
 | sent on September 29, 2020 Pros: CCD sensor, construction, ergonomics and new CCD sensor Cons: Nothing Opinion: I entered the Nikon world with a D60 that I changed after just two hours with a D80, then D90, D7000, D610, D750 ,DF and D4 with a falling in love for a delicious Olympus Pen F with all its micro optics (a world apart not comparable) and now I wait for the D780 but still being able to enjoy so many advanced and performing bodies , in my eyes I had those real and film colors left, those soft and natural faces that gave me the D80 and I bought it back a couple of years ago for a treat but, by now, I liked to get close and I thought, especially after reading the enthusiastic comments that precede me, to take a d200 that, cpn the D80, shared the sensor, then shared the sensor, then , after also studying the difference between the two sensors discovering that the ccd was abandoned in favor of the cmos because it was too expensive, energy-heavy and complex to manage, but also that the CCD is still used, but only in extra-professional areas, a few days ago I searched for a D200 awarding me one for 70 euros with only 1450 shots, I feared it was a "package" instead it is really new (a shot of ....) , I think abandoned in a closet, and I'm having fun like a child discovering an ancient, simple but funny toy found in the attic. With only 10 mpx returns images at a time soft and sharp, but, above all, unique colors that have nothing to do with those of the Cmos but certainly is my opinion. Over the years I have tried to improve by going from one model to another not perceiving, however, that improvement that, personally, I expected (we save the D4 that I still consider spectacular although too cumbersome ) but put the eye behind the eye of this old lady, I resumed to shoot a lot; I find all the controls I need on the fly, getting fantastic and light files, also enjoying (who likes) an iso grain over 800, from film and a B&N from darkroom . I hope you never read these words, but I'm happy to have taken close-ups of my wife without the fear that the photo will reproduce every little sign that the ignominy of the time that passes has left on her beautiful face, which happens with the new sensors that are relentless and that often return of faces irrecovered by traits that in reality are not perceptible with the same dramatic evidence . Certainly sharpness and definition should be appreciated, but modern sensors are as sharp as blades and highlight, in the play of perspectives, lights and shadows, what, I repeat, to the naked eye is not perceived. Sharp not sharp which is another thing and does not depend on pixels. Find one in good condition and forget about the technical data, speed gadgets and pixels to regain the pleasure of shooting with simpleness and cheerfulness. |
 | sent on September 17, 2020 Pros: CCD sensor, noise, robustness, versatility Cons: 15 years later: nothing Opinion: This review is dedicated to the reasons why it makes sense to employ a technology machine that has been surpassed for 15 years for new creative forms. I owned two D200s that I replaced after about 60,000 shots each to follow the evolution with D300 and all models to follow. A couple of years ago I was able to consult a photo book of a friend, all done with the D200 and I appreciated the color of the images. Afterwards I had to do a search in my photo archive and found a lot of images with an excellent color rendering that had been taken with the D200. At that point I began to think that that machine, with its CCD sensor, makes sense even today and not at all trivial. Finally I found a very good one with 4500 shots and despite owning a D850, D7200, D3200, Sony RX100 VI, the D200 is in second place for images taken. The D200 might be considered an outdated DSLR, but it's the latest Nikon with CCD sensor and it's the sensor that makes the difference. When used with ISO 'out of the way' at 3200, and taking advantage of the jpg produced by the machine, thanks to its sensitive noise, in very weak light it is able to produce images with a good contrast and a grain -noise- very analog that perfectly returns a tone from old black and white. In this regard I refer you to this 3D opened by Jacopo Pasqualotto: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=3547873. When used in B/N with vintage optics, with all their imperfections it manages to produce images that offer new interpretative forms of the photographic language, with a nice contrast in low-sensitivity B/N. Even in color and low sensitivity, the D200 is able to make a difference, with a very natural complexion and a very balanced color rendering that makes it a perfect portrait machine. The D200, is a professional machine, which fifteen years later still has its role as a niche camera, for the photographer interested in looking for new interpretative forms of the photographic language. The evaluation, 15 years later can only be 10 and praise. |
 | sent on March 14, 2020 Pros: Robustness ,sensor ccd tropicalization,colors Cons: Estate over 800 iso Opinion: Purchased 14 years ago, I am now in possession of a d7000, a d610 and ad750. what to say programs and sensors continue to advance great beautiful machines but the real colors of the d200 are dreamy ... I will use it until the end of its life to date 32000 shots a jewel that from how I use it and able to get over 200000 shots. and a tank. those who own it are unlikely to get rid of it or if they do so, they have understood little of its potential,..... good photos..... |
 | sent on January 28, 2020 Pros: color pink Cons: for what it takes for me, nalla Opinion: I took the D20, I found one with less than 20,000 shots,to use it in the studio and in consulting,(dentistry...) and I took it for the fact that it has a sensor with a rendering of the complexion is extremely truthful.... it facilitates me the task during contact with the dental laboratory during the drafting of legal dental surveys.... socket with 3 batteries, 2-station battery charge... less than 200 euros. |
 | sent on January 28, 2020 Pros: ECCEZATIONAL CONSTRUCTION, ROBUST FORSE ANCOR MORE NIKON D300 Cons: Reliability - Tropicalization - Good CCD sensor Opinion: It is an excellently built reflex, much better than Nikon d100 and d300, although at the image level it is definitely lower than the d300. Great burst for action photos and also very good for portrait and landscape photos. Even today it offers a lot of satisfaction, especially if you use old optics. It can be used well up to 800 ISOs, out of the 1600 ISO you need to expose well and have good optics. Mine is equipped with Battery Grip and flanked by the Nikon d2x I feel great. I recommend it. |
 | sent on December 02, 2019 Pros: Built to be eternal, CCD Colors and Dynamic Range, file workability. buttons, buttons and dier, no menu! everything at hand without taking the eye off the viewfinder compatibility with an endless optical park and for all pockets Cons: The important noise over 800 iso, the coating rubber comes off ( but it changes with little), for the rest given the age I would say that it is THE REFLEX Opinion: My first DSLR!!! First I had, and still have, the F90x, then I bought a used d200 in 2016. Paid 200 euros with less than 20000 shots, now I use it less because I flanked the D600, but in certain situations I prefer it, because of the yield of the CCD, Very different from the Cmos sensors and closer to that of the film. It allowed me to reuse all my Ai, AI-s and Af optics in all variants, to which I immediately flanked the stabilized 18-55. If you like to take pictures as you did with film, but without the constraints that it entailed, this is the right machine. The build quality is pro body, uncompromising. All the metal, tropicalized, physical controls for each function, you take it in your hand, and you find all the controls at your fingertips, exactly where you expected them to be, the first time you've ever had it, so it's ergonomic! In good light (i.e. low iso) he manages to pull off excellent shots, especially on portraits. It has excellent flash management, the built-in one is useful for lightening in the backlight, if you want more you will take a sb600 for two lire, and you can have fun as you please( Hss, wireless piloting using the built-in flash as a comander). Over 800 iso better not to go(1000 if you expose well) otherwise the grain is seen, but I like it because it is very fine and resembles that of a Film Bn from 400 iso or down there. The only real flaw are the rubber coatings that come off, but with 40 dollars you will find the original parts and come back as new. To date it is at ridiculous prices, 100 euros or so. if you happen not to let her escape because if used properly( and not a member of hound) is still able to churn out photos that, seeing them printed, make you say "WOW!!" |
 | sent on October 15, 2019 Pros: Construction, Dynamic Range,File Size,Physical Keys Placed at the Right Point Cons: I would say the high iso, but at the price at which it is sold it performs better than the entry levels found on amazon Opinion: Gifted by my father 5 years ago, it was my first reflex. With her I took about 70,000 photos, before giving it to a friend of mine. After a year with Canon, I decided to trade my 40d to get it back. Because this isn't a SLR. This is LA reflex. I will not talk about technical specifications or anything, but I just want to praise this machine, which after almost 13 years since its launch on the market, still knows how to give a lot of satisfaction. Don't be fooled by the 24mpx of the new nikon Reflex, and don't be intimidated by the 2006 specs. With its magnesium body and keys in the right place, you will learn the art of photography professionally, without spending a capital. For 200 euros, you can take it home with a 50mm 1.8, so you can have fun with all kinds of photos: marriage, landscape,naturalistic,sports,portraiture, street etc... this machine is not afraid of anything. If I were to find a defect of it are the high iso, but the grain is pleasant and that's enough. I think when it stops working, I'll buy another one, because she and the d700 are the VERE reflex, because they are those machines that do not suffer from the passing of the years( to say, the 40d had a bad autofocus and a dynamic range to tear off the hair). I conclude by saying that if you're a novice, this is the car for you. |
 | sent on February 04, 2019 Pros: CCD and related color profiles, tank body, physical control Gazillioni, ease of use with AI lenses, magnificent high ISO grain. Cons: It's not a Pivelli machine... Opinion: Bought used 6 months ago with only 16,000 shots to support it to an equally magnificent Canon 5d1, they represent 2 worlds that coexist in the same universe to give you unreachable images with modern DSLRs. Abandon the worries from raw post-production, quietly shooting in jpg and leaving you fascinated by its magnificent colors and the pleasure of handling a real reflex. Your fingers will savor the sensory pleasures of a body in Tostissima, cold, eternal magnesium alloy, and you will forget the concept of the menu: here all you need has a physical command exactly where one expects it. The colors are beautiful: blue, green and yellow as only the old Nikon knew how to treat you; and using the ISO expansion at 3200, it transforms into an excellent automatic image generator with fascinating analog grain. The sound of the mirror-shutter group is also stronger than the D300 and D700, and it will seem to you to use the old 70 film SLR cameras: They will knock you out instantly from every church with your immense satisfaction. The configuration of the old AI lenses is simple, fast and immediate, and thanks to its weight and excellent grip scales the manual optics perfectly (I took it to use almost exclusively those). If necessary, it can be used as a lethal weapon, hurming it forcefully against malicious attackers. Beware: It is not a car for tourists on Sundays, you have to know what you are doing, pain the feeling of having for your hands a useful thing like your grandmother's iron. If used with head gives photos from the strong personality, otherwise pass also the various entry-level or new mirrorless home and select the green rectangle in the ring. Good pictures. |
user111807  | sent on January 19, 2019 Pros: Construction, finishes, CCD sensor, cost.. Cons: ISO Seal Opinion: My first DSLR sold to make way for the d300 d700 which as ISO holding and operating speed were on another planet in comparison. Bought back after a couple of years because I lacked the timbre and yield of the CCD sensor, as construction and finishes is also superior to the next sibling Nikon DSLRs and not. Does it still make sense today to use a d200? I say yes to what it costs today is an experience to prove bad that goes and you do not find the is resells without losing. The advice is not so much for the novice but to those who already have experience and can enhance the quality of the CCD sensor. |
| sent on August 31, 2018 Pros: Exceptional sensor quality, especially with low ISO. Complete and ergonomic, acceptable burst, highly tested battery. Cons: Few flaws Opinion: Camera that is located at very low prices in the used, but does not fear the competition of any rival with the grip increases performance and handling. Practically indestructible. It certainly does not prove its age, except performance at high ISO. I have two bodies of this camera paired with the splendid 18-70 pure old, but of remarkable quality. |
 | sent on June 29, 2018 Pros: Build quality, arrangements controls, intuitive, motorized, dual display, double ring Cons: To date high ISO, 10 MP maximum resolution, no Live View Opinion: I recently gave up my first D200, after a year of intensive use I would like to leave my opinion. I consider it a machine built as it should be! Really sturdy and quality, it immediately gives you confidence with all the monads in the right place, without having to go every moment in the menu to find the most common commands. Still today it has quality characteristics (shutter speed, flash synchro, n ° overlapping frames etc...) in the cons does not support the "dark", prohibited to climb more than 600 Iso or little more when the light is short, in fairly clear conditions you can also get to 1200 if it was needed... The resolution for if it is not even so bad, maybe avoid crop exaggerated the 11 AF points are (in my opinion) excellent and well distributed, then the Penta prism is a pleasure.... On the basis you do not find it for sure... The machine has its weight but with important optics it becomes very well balanced. __ Last:-Why post a review today of a machine so dated? Because to start is tremendously better than an economic entry-level, it still lies with a reasonable number of shots at a good price (110-160 euros), therefore I would highly recommend it to those who want to start in this beautiful world |
| sent on December 08, 2017 Pros: a real tank. Exceptional CCD quality. Ergonomic controls and more than enough functions for amateurs and professionals; you do not need anything more to shoot great images. Cons: a bit 'of noise at high ISO, but for those who practice photography for 40 years like me, it is nothing compared to the quality of the rolls that I used to pull well over 1000 ISO. Opinion: It is on the web at ridiculously low prices: I bought two with which I have done a wedding photo shoot that came very well. The lens park is really wide and, even these, you can find with a little 'patience on the used market at prices much lower than the new one. When it came out it costed a good 1800 euros and one reason must have been there. |
 | sent on April 30, 2017 Pros: Tough but still light; sensor for sharpness and color neutrality that is still valid; low price in the used. Cons: Sensor for high iso yield and readability of the highlights decidedly outdated; display too small and with cumbersome magnifying procedure; AF little evolved. Opinion: The review refers to what it is today and not what the D200 was. A machine still valid for low iso photos (max 600-800), so to be carried on a field trip (as long as there is a lot of light) with little regard (given the palious value and given the robustness). In that range the CCD sensor gives sexier images (color neutrality and feeling sharpness) than, I know, to a D700, and as the isos grow the grain has an "analog" look that returns vintage-flavored images. But, precisely, as the isos grow, the yield decays dramatically, and the D200 only makes sense for specific uses and as a second (or fifth, in my case) body. Use it with great satisfaction with 18-35/1.8 in bright situations (where it bowls better images than the D700 with 24-70 Nikkor). In summary: to have as a secondary body (as the first body recommended only to extravagant and aware photographers, or hopelessly penniless but not content with a toy) for the particular rendering of the sensor. |
 | sent on January 15, 2017 Pros: Great ergonomics, infinite battery life, almost, of the sensor output. Cons: Limitations due to 'age, but nothing insurmountable with a little good will Opinion: I purchased this camera about a year ago, I had a problem on the card module, but do not think it was the fault of the module but a wasted cf that bent the contact pins, bought to try the CCD sensor, I felt immediately at comfortable with her, good results over the colors but also in black and white, a pro body around, commands to the right place, sturdy like a tank, I would recommend it to anyone just to try it, in the market of 'is used throughout , just try and 'copy in good condition with many shots no exaggeration to come out, buy back, |
 | sent on November 27, 2016 Pros: Body control, CCD sensor, viewfinder, battery Cons: Age Opinion: I bought this body about a year and a half ago, with just 4000 shots. It has a pro body, like the d700, and it is just fantastic. The controls are all at your fingertips, you ca the menu only once .... It has a MAF afd objectives with extremely fast and precise. Obviously has a certain age, then travel at high ISO is not advisable .... We say that the 800 you can reach, in some situation even 1250, if you are printing a very large photos. Despite everything, however, even at the end of 2016 it remains a body that much use, in black and white is fantastic, and also for portraiture is outstanding. Although I have a d750, often I have fun even with the 200 ... if you take it to below 200 Euros, the highly recommend |
user75655 | sent on November 10, 2016 Pros: robust body and handy controls Cons: Poor performance at high ISO; It tends to sovraeporre; weight Opinion: I bought this body used a little over a year ago but unfortunately has never taken the spark. So a while ago I decided to sell it. At low ISO quality he had nothing to envy to the most recent bodies. At high iso but I must confirm that the quality of the files is too low. Even at ISO 800 it sees a significant loss of quality. Sometimes even at 400 ISO already. In this respect, the years were felt. I also noticed some overexposure of the images, and I therefore had to resort often to the body dell'esposizione.rnIl compensation is robust and solid looking. Maybe a little 'pesantino for those with small hands like mine. The keys are arranged in a perfect way and this makes its pleasant utilizzo.rnIn conclusion would not recommend it as one body because technologically it definitely exceeded. As the body to use and occasionally during the day it can be rather interesting. Especially for those who may have an emotional bond with that body and the CCD sensor. |
  | sent on September 02, 2015 Pros: Ergonomics, CCD sensor, ISO 100, dynamic range with accurate color on the flesh above all, battery life, burst, I could keep going ... Cons: Only a little 'noise to handle in PP Opinion: I recently purchased this machine in excellent condition and with about 50,000 shots. Now it is in the used market at bargain prices that do not do justice to the true value of this gem from Nikon, remember to have seen in the hands of many matrimonialisti. Every button and 'the right place' has an incredible ergonomics. Accompanying lens quality ', would be a crime not to have a body Semi-pro though dated, offers the best of itself. It 'hard to tame but once you do the hand gives real emotions thanks to the dynamic range of the CCD sensor (later models are CMOS). If there should happen to one of his hands at a low price and in good condition, do not delay, make it yours and you will not regret. |
