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Cons: Display, sensor, weight and size, ISO, all out-of-date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 Finally, after also having a D800, I learned to love it, only shooting 10 MP in Nef (RAW), it's an outdated but wonderful camera.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.

Pros: * Very well made * Authentic photographic experience * Excellent image quality when used with good lenses * Real film like colours * Works with ai and ais lenses

Cons: * Not for inexperienced photographers * Wheight (which is also an advantage)

Opinion: Bought mine from a pro about 3 years ago with 2600 clicks for 120 euros out of curiosity. Already had positive experiences with the D700 after a Canon 80 d and Nikon d3200 and so on. Have been an amateur photographer since 1972. Did not like the computerized cameras and plastic lenses. Tried Fuji but these are also very computerized. I liked the colours more than that of the D700 and it is also a bit lighter and smaller. When used with vintage ai and ais lenses you have to acknowledge that a 28 mm becomes a 42 mm, a 50mm a 75 mm and so on. First I used it with cheaper zoom lenses like the 28-85mm AF nikkor and the 18-140mm. This gives useable results but I thought it could still improved and decided to invest in a 17-55 f2.8 nikon just to use on this camera.Together they are a great combo. Sharpness is now on pas with modern CMOS cameras with plastic lenses. Camera performs best at iso between 100-200. This is no problem if you use faster lenses. The wheight helps to get good shots around 1/30 s. I use the camera only in RAW with lightroom. I you use the camera specific profiles you will see that the exposure gets better and that the greens are more natural. Contrary to modern cameras you don't need to underexpose but can leave the setting at zero or even overexpose a bit. Autofocus is excellent! Image quality to me overall is better than that of the D7200 which gives a more digital look. Hope you found this review helpful!

Pros: Professional handling with analogue controls, colour rendering, ultra-precise single-point AF, lens park

Cons: forget modern predictive tracking, tightness over 400/800 ISO, weight

Opinion: Unexpectedly good, responsive camera, very usable even in 2026. For a few years I shot with Nikon Z7 and stellar triplet of Nikkor Z 20-50-85 f/1.8 S fixed lenses; I have experienced what "file resolved", "extreme sharpness", etc. mean... but there are aspects that really go beyond the technical sheets and that only by using an object can you understand and see; D200 for me coexisted with Z7, so I can tell my experience in direct comparison: 1) the viewfinder of a reflex is unsurpassed; there is no panel that comes closer to the interpretation of our eye looking at reality 2) AF is precise, incredibly precise! you can't even imagine entrusting the camera with what to focus on but with a single point AF-S or AF-C is very fast and reliable 3) it is solid, the useful controls are all at hand; I personally don't even turn on the display when I shoot 4) color chapter: many think that it is the CCD, that is the "sensor" that makes the difference but in reality it is not entirely true: the bayer matrix of the CCD seems to have a greater thickness (and therefore a lower permeability to light) than the bayer matrices applied to the CMOS of later eras; from this derives a worse resistance to high ISO (less advantageous signal/noise) but also the richness and saturation of the images that everyone is talking about. One thing that almost certainly depends on the sensor is there, however: bright whites; the Raw of Z7, compared to those of D200, seem dull and dull, they generally need to be worked more in post. 5) ridiculous resolution you will think: I have a BENQ 32" and when I open and maximize a jpeg of Z7 and one of D200, I struggle to understand which is the least resolute. Of course, forget about absurd crops and maybe prints beyond A3+ but... wow.... The resolution of modern rooms is overrated! For what it costs, understanding its limits, it is a nice experiment. For me personally, the simplification and functional thinning have made the shooting experience more enjoyable.

Pros: Sensor, rugged old style construction, battery, reliability, mounts all vintage Nikon lenses (F mount)

Cons: it doesn't reach one million and six hundred thousand ISO (they don't do it anymore)

Opinion: I took it to try it after shooting with the Fujifilm S5 and I found it much better especially when I was recharging the battery. The difference in colors is truly imperceptible and the complexion and the results that CCD sensors give are for a few enthusiasts. The golden rule is to always shoot in RAW format. You can put all the old Nikon AF lenses and even manual ones. I really enjoyed the experience...

Pros: Construction, finishes, CCD sensor.

Cons: They don't do it anymore.

Opinion: It's been almost twenty years since it came out, I've bought three in the meantime, 2 of which in the last few years with very few shots at a ridiculous price for the value of the camera. Maybe it's its CCD sensor or, as those who know more than me say, its color profile, I haven't found the brilliance of the colors of the D200 (D80, D70) in the most modern cameras, from the D300 onwards to the D850, the last reflex I used. Those who use Nikon will have no difficulty using the classic setting of the controls and the ergonomics have remained almost the same in all mid-to-high-end Nikons. Everything has already been said and I can only confirm what has already been said.
