Pros Professional features and images, robust, pro build quality.
Cons Initial cost to purchase.
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon D200 digital SLR is Nikon's first 10.2 MP camera and while it offers a little less resolution than Nikon's current flagship, the D2Xs, it provides users with professional level features and images at a less than full scale professional price.

Over a period of six months I have changed my opinion about this camera.There are problems with this camera and... Read full review »

Is this camera for real?

72 Helpfuls 73 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon D40 with 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AF-S AF lens is this company's bare bones entry level offering in the extremely volatile digital SLR market. As the two giants of the industry, Canon and Nikon vie for an ever increasing slice of the dSLR pie, Nikon has taken a calculated marketing gamble by... Read full review »
