In today's day and age of high tech gadgets and emerging technologies one thing is certain; people are relying more and more on consumer electronics and home appliances in our daily lives than ever before. Of course, we all expect the products we buy to perform well and serve us throughout the years, but in reality consumer electronics malfunction all the time. We often buy consumer electronics or appliance products based solely on the name brand. This is because we either feel comfortable with the quality the manufacturer produces or we take comfort in knowing that in the event of a malfunction the manufacturer will stand by their product and make the necessary repairs.
Most manufacturers written warranties offer fantastic parts and labor protection. However, the duration of this coverage under the written warranty is often far too short (e.g. 90 days parts or 1 year parts and labor). Manufacturers strategically limit their liabilities in order to cut down their final cost price and make their products more attractive to the marketplace. Let's face the facts. If you are like most of us, you are not expecting to buy a new Camera , Camcorder or any other major appliance every single year. You want to buy the new product and use it for as many years as it will last. There is only one way for a consumer to be certain that the product you are purchasing will be functioning to factory specifications in say 4 or 5 years from now. This Extended Service Plan offers you the identical high quality protection as the manufacturers written warranty did. This plan extends your coverage for up to 5 (five) full years after the manufacturers written warranty expires.

Strongly recommended.....

After a year with my Nikon D40 and having completed a photography course, I decided to treat myself to a more serious SLR. I bought a used model off eBay - but if I'd seen this price ($799) I would have bought off Amazon. Although its a 2 year old model, its a fantastic camera - selling at the same price as the D90.

If you're a serious amateur photographer - buy this over any of the D40/D60/D90 etc. models. Its got a proper LCD display and you can control 95%+ of the functions and settings you need using only the buttons and the LCD display. I've no doubt that the D300 is a better camera - but its also a a LOT more expensive and I'd argue that unless you make money out of photography its a bit more than you need?

If you are new to dSLR photography then the former models may be better suited to you as they have helpful scene settings - but once you become experienced and start understaning DSLR photography and manipulating RAW files etc. this is the camera for you.

Oh and the camera also takes excellent photos! As another reviewer has noted, all of the 5 star reviews speak for themselves!

Even if Nikon makes the D400 etc. I am keeping this camera.

What happens when you wanted a new at the time D2x or a D2Hs, but the $$$s just didn't make any sense. Buy the D200 instead and get some great glass instead. Unless you are a "pro" and getting paid big money, this D200 is just amazing. Had mine for 2 years and have banged it around, got it wet, hot, cold etc. this camera really just goes and goes. I am an amateur with no "Pro" pretensions but this camera is the D2x's little brother in that the chunky steel and magnesium sealed body, that is all switches dials and doors, this camera is set for the rigors of pro life. I think anyone thinking of using this camera for extended stints should also get the MB-D200 battery grip. Takes 2 of the Nikon EN-EL3 batteries or 6 AA batteries in a pinch with the adapter. The D200 in comparison with my older D70s loves battery power, though I have never run out of power especially with the battery grip before my shooting was done, it does make me concerned. Main reason why I carry 3 camera batteries and a ton of rechargeable AA batteries. In conjunction with the battery grip and the terrific Nikon SB-800 flash this camera is fabulous for special event picture taking like weddings, and also super for Museum photography as well. My trips to the Chino Air museum and the Boeing Museum of flight were just amazing with the D200. Airplanes taken with this camera are just amazing. I love engines and this camera renders the details just great. For fast action race car shooting this cameras 5 frames per second is great too.

A note about exposure. Don't underexpose and the "noise" that the D200 can produce will not harm your pictures. At higher ISO settings at underexposed images chromatic and luminance noise will rear its ugly head. A weakness of the CCD imager that is just about abandoned by Nikon. The D300 uses the CMOS imager with superior performance in the noise arena.

Unlike the lower cost D series Nikon's this D200 will take any autofocus lens whether it has a motor in the lens or not. The D40 and D60 family of cameras will not. The D200 has a built in motor for the lens focus drive built into the body. So while not perfect, I find that I make many more mistakes than my D200 ever does, however when I do what I am supposed to do, the D200 is absolutely amazing.

Another note, since this is a "advanced" enthusiast's camera the "Scene" modes will be not present. I never use them and therefore don't miss them.

The D200 also takes the Compact flash 1 and 2 format cards and IBM microdrive with no problems. However the camera is too old to understand ULTRA DMA cards so don't waste the money on those cards with this camera. With the Sandisk Extreme 3, 4 gig card this camera never let me down with a missed shot ever.

With a shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second and only a 1/250th flash sync speed (my D40 and older D70 had 1/500th second flash sync) you will do well to get that shot.

Menus a plenty, take the time to get your D200 setup the way you want it and you will be glad you did. Custom menus abound, of which I found no use to me, but may be valuable to others. The menus while fairly clear are many and fortunately for most, it would be a one time setup affair.

The mirror lock up feature is nice to check depth of field, something I don't see on a lot of other cameras.

Durability and reliability have been excellent with no issues what so ever.
I read about an independent reviewer who dropped the camera about 5 feet to concrete on the grip and LCD status panel side, and the repair was only $250.00 or so. Pretty good performance since most cameras would be way worse.

Who wants this older camera vs. the D300 say. Someone who wants to save money and get about 7 to 8 tenths the D300 and buy better lenses for the difference maybe. Ones moving up to a better body but doesn't want the D90 and wants something more substantial. The D200 will not disappoint.

Others wanting the latest and greatest will undoubtedly buy the D300 and that makes sense too. For me, and I tried the D300, other than the higher ISO low light performance being better and a better LCD screen, it still was not compelling enough for me to move over to it. I want one sure, but maybe when the price comes down, and even then, it would have to be allot before I give up the D200. I think it is that good. V.C.

Professional

This is one professional camera at an amazing price. I use this exclusively for professional portrait and wedding photography. The only thing negative I would say is it eats battery life, even without "chimping". But thats to be expected I suppose from such a high performer such as the D200. All of the automatic features are flawless, and when you want to add your own personal touch, just switch to M mode and set everything manually for some amazing effects. I highly recommend this camera to the amateur and professional alike. You will not be disappointed at all, in fact, you wont be able to put it down.
