Pro Features & Images At A Less Than Pro Price.

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.

Recommended it? No

Like most people here I wrote a a glowing review when I had first purchased the D200. This can be a poor time to write because people can be hypnotized by an expensive new toy.

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

Small, light, and Fun Digital SLR

byPirich Feb 21, 2010
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very compact and light, approachable interface, great performance, incredibly capable.
Cons No matching 18mm-70mm zoom.
Recommended it? Yes

Yes, I know I said fun.  Fun is the word for a Digital SLR camera which not only comes in black, but is also available in brilliant red, white, and navy blue with a matching 18mm-55mm zoom lens  And it actually is easy to use, with controls similar enough to small point and shoot cameras...

Great little camera with issues

Pros colors,  lightweight, shake reduction, kit lens, AWB, shadow/highlight...
Cons mirror slap issue, AF point selection algorithm, no cheap 50/1.8, missing hdmi out, bad...
Recommended it? No

I am long time Canon user decided to get K-x for great colors Pentax produces. Kit lens is great and clarity of color is on par with Canon's higher grade L lenses. Not sure how do you measure clarity but not to be mistaken with sharpness, MFT and other measurable things.
