If you are looking for a great digital camera, look no further than the Nikon D200. Amateurs and professionals alike have been anxiously awaiting the release of this 10-megapixel SLR camera. For a good price, you will get what many people feel is a compact version of the professional D2X. While the D2X is a little more robust, there is very little that you cannot do with the Nikon D200. In fact, many of the D200’s features and techniques are based on the D2X’s architecture.

You will get five frames per second high-speed continuous shooting as well as a quick power up time – only 0.15 seconds. You will not have to wait long on the shutter release either. It has a lag time of just 50 milliseconds. The incredible color photos have a resolution so high, it is perfect for enlargements. The multi-cam 1000 auto focus sensor module included on the Nikon D200 means you will always have fast and accurate focus under any condition.

The body is made of magnesium-alloy, making it both water and dust proof and giving it the feel of a professional photographer’s camera. Unlike some of the lower priced Nikon SLRs, the D200 has a larger viewfinder as well as a 2.5-inch LCD panel with 230,000 pixels. Another nice feature is the 802.11 technology transmitter that allows for wireless transfers from the camera to your computer. If you are like me, you had cords.

One feature you will love with the Nikon D200 digital camera is the rechargeable battery. With the capability of lasting for up to 1,800 shots, you will never miss an excellent opportunity due to a dead battery. You will be able to see from the fuel gauge system the percentage of time remaining and how many shots you have taken since the last charge. As someone who shoots a ton, battery life is extremely important to me.

If you get a chance to try the Nikon D200, you will find it performs with such quality and is such a great value that you will not be able to resist it. The D200 is another great camera from Nikon.
