 | Nikon D200 Pros: CCD Sensor, filmlike rendering, robust and lasting Cons: Display, sensor, weight and size, ISO, all out-of-date Opinion: My first DSLR from 2012, flawlessly used with less than 4000 shots, I came late from Nikon F3s, a brand new F4 and finally an F100 which until 2013 almost only made color slides. I didn't quite understand how to use a DSLR, took small JPG shots to "save film" (big mistake), didn't know how to post-process them... and had no software other than Nikon. Finally, after also having a D800, I learned to love it, only shooting 10 MP in Nef (RAW), it's an outdated but wonderful camera. AF OK for the time, ISO up to 400 could work, but higher values ??require external software: in good light or on tripod with ISO 100 the colors are great, look at my tulips. It's not a beginner's camera and no modern frills, but even 10MP is enough for wonderful photo prints as long as you can take photos in the true sense of the word and the subject is suitable. My first camera, a late love and this one too I will not pass on during my lifetime, except to my children. sent on March 02, 2025 |
 | Nikon D3 Pros: Purity of 8.5 µm pixels, reliability, ergonomics, robustness, image and mechanical quality, lightweight files, speed Cons: 12 MP, tricky AF point control in portrait position, heft, no video, no IBIS, portability Opinion: It might sound crazy, but I bought a 2007 camera in 2022 with 12 MP. It's a bold, reliable, really loud and heavy but precise, bulky though beautiful, top ergonomic camera with below 8000 shutter actuations and in pristine condition. No vibrational sensor cleaning, no video, slow life view AF, just 1470 g pure photographic full frame ergonomic 8.5 µm pixel power and ISO up to 6400 machine that will never let you down. The camera responds fast with high precision and the ergonomic design helps with direct access. Of course, don't expect clean ISO 6400 and above, cropping the heck out of 12 MP pictures and video at all. The size can be an issue, but somehow it helps for a steady camera position. It was built for speed and that shows even today: responsive operation and a quick, precise shutter with up to 9 frames per second. The precision and speed of the AF is more than enough for all but the most demanding purposes, everything you use just works. Focus on what's important, the composition and the decisive moment, the D3 does everything in the background, instantly, reliably and without fiddling. Used wisely, the results are great even by today's standards and for me there is always something special in the colors, the sharpness, the feather-light raw files and the printed photos. There are a lot of better and more modern cameras out there, but this gem is an all time star, a true legend and one of it's own. I might have to replace my DSLRs with mirrorless options in future, but this beauty will stay until my last breath. It's that good. Still. sent on February 24, 2024 |
