[SqueeG19]

I recently acquired the same set up to go along with my D90 and im loving it!

[TheDinescu]

d90 , d80 , d200 , d70 ~ 500 - 800 $ second hand, wich should i choose ? i can't find on youtube videos with compared models d80 vs. d 90 or something like that , i use camera for portraits ...

[71shoelover]

You can pick up a Nikon D200 body cheap on eBay these days.

[jookertube]

fucking good cam!! aaaaaaaaaaaaa

[VinceACM]

which camera handles noise better? d200 or d90?

[rensper]

is it ok to buy a 2nd hand d200 with 39,000 shutter counts?? Thanks

[indigoblue555]

HI! Here is a possibly silly question (as I'm a new by will you forgive me...:)

If I choose to shoot in manual mode,I wonder on which one of ABCD memory banks (-both custom and shooting manus - )my D200 will be working.I mean: does the manual mode modify one of the preset ABCD banks or does it work in full authonomy from the ABCD settings ?

Thx.for help.

Do you still have this camera?

[ClickCliquePics]

For remote firing, do you need to have a cable remote or does this camera have the ability to use an infrared remote?

[DarkenedTheater]

This is still a great camera. I've owned three 5D mk II's (over the years, not at once), a Nikon D200, a canon 50D, Nikon d3000, and a Pentax K20D. Of all these cameras, the Nikon D200 is the most solid camera. It just has that "pro" grade quality feeling in your hands. The photos are great but while the lcd is crystal clear, it is a bit small. The D200 shutter sounds more like a classic SLR with a satisfying "click" compared to the 5D. Although the 5D does have excellent image quality.

[caikka]

Do you know a trusted website where I can buy a brand new nikon d200 in low price like 600 $ ??

[milodaman2]

@caikka go to ebay or amazon. i got mine from ebay for $515 with a lens with only 100 actuations. (shots taken)

[LGHNGMN]

still good to get a d200? nowadays?

[smokinblu1]

@LGHNGMN yes :) I got my second 1 last year and I am super happy with it

[mariusgp5]

I have to choose between nikon d200 and canon 40d. which one is better for me.Which system. I am a beginner.

[stefanDMS]

@mariusgp5 as for me, i`ll go with the Nikon D200, because its more "beginner friendly". Canon`s menu is not good for me....

[Ishcoa]

For my first DSLR, this or the D90?

I have 5 top notch Nikkor MF lenses, that won't meter with the D90, but the D90 has better high ISO and some other compelling features. This is also nice because it's cheaper.

[campergf23]

D200 or d80???

[SolitaireRules]

@campergf23 A D200 has far more superiour image quality than a D80, a D200 is proffesional standard where as a D80 is semi. x

[sirNemanjapro]

Thanks for the vid.

[ithree6mafia]

is the cmos sensor better than a ccd sensor?

[BustedShutter]

@ithree6mafia i dont know too too much about the tech behind the sensors, but I do know that the CMOS sensor uses less power which allows you to get more shots per battery charge....a LOT more...

[stefanDMS]

@BustedShutter CMOS sensors are way better than CCD. Why? Because CCD sensors are usually put in compact and premium compact cameras. But, its not unusual to find a CCD sensor in an entry lever DSLR (like the Nikon D3000 and many others). So aim for something with Cmos sensor... (nikon d5000 is a freat camera for beginners). Hope i helped.

[etienneamien]

@BustedShutter

CCD still leads in terms of color & skin rendition. ALL medium format cameras use CCD sensors...

[Silknmist]

@ithree6mafia CMOS sensors are usually better in low light/high ISO situations. They typically exhibit lower noise characteristics. The D200 has a CCD type sensor. I bought one when they first came out. I wasn't very impressed with ISO above 800, but the camera is a very capable unit in just about every other respect. I now shoot a D700.

[lucassharringtonn]

@ithree6mafia the cmos sencor makes the colors more crisp and makes it so when ur camera the colors wont bleed and uses much less power

[schoolsucks1234545]

@ithree6mafia both have their issues. but both work.

[WRITEPOWER]

@ithree6mafia CCD is better CMOS is much more sensitive to shake ..in video mode for example. CCD sensor produces better colors

nice review

thank u

[insaziabile88]

what's lense?

[ihateyaacov]

for beginner this camera d80 or d90?

[BustedShutter]

@ihateyaacov def not a D80...i would go with this or the D90...the D200 has better build quality and a more professional layout of buttons and functions...D90 has video, more pixels, better ISO performance, and better battery life...the D200 just has better weather sealing and build quality....the only reason i got the D200 over the D90 was because i found a good deal on it...

[wadz396]

@ihateyaacov Yo if your a beginner get the d3000, its a sick camera, it is really easy to use and its a very good camera

[giorgiodavinci]

@ihateyaacov for a beginner I would def go for a D90, cause this camera doesn't have an automatic preset. So only choose this camera if you know what aperture, whitebalance etc do to your pics.

[giorgiodavinci]

@ihateyaacov Def not this one, cause a beginner does not know what aperture, shuttertime etc does for the result. A D90 does have automatic presets. So as a beginner it is better to start with a D90.

[tony77tony77]

the D90 goes for around $900-$1100. It has lot of improvement over the D200. The D200 has a better body then the D90 and goes for around $500-$700. For someone that is starting off they should get a D60, D70 or D80 for under $600.

[BustedShutter]

true..i too started with a D60, but I found that I outgrew the camera very quickly...for someone who wants to get serious, i wouldnt start with anything less than a D90...you might regret it very quickly like i did...

[tony77tony77]

@BustedShutter very true!!!

[OwningGeezer]

@BustedShutter True that Busted. I have a d60 and i am already finding that using wireless flashes, manual kelvin control, and aperture and manual mode compatibility with ai lenses is a very very big bonus. If i had a d200 i could use my film lens on that as well. Then i if buy any film lenses i can use them for my F3 as well as my d200. Lens compatibility is an important feature that many people overlook when buying new cameras.

[bollwerkman]

Informative review. Subscribed to your channel as your videos are useful and informative. Good work pal!

[BustedShutter]

Thanks! I appreciate it..

[Kelsie154]

my parents bought me a D200 and F5 for christmas last year for $800 TOTAL!!

they are both amazing cameras even though one of them is film. i actually find that Film cameras have a better photo.

anyways... i was wondering if anyone knows where i could get some cheap wide angle lenses...

the chord camera's around where i live are out of Nikon AND Tokina lenses. it really bums me out.

[toxuxiaowei]

Bought mine used about 10 months ago for abt 450 bucks from henrys...

[pageerror404]

Good review, very informative. You essentially sold me a D200 lol

[kwaxkwax]

Thanks josh =]

i just picked one up 2nd hand and really loving it. this review made me like it even more. I am still learning about photography but its so fun and i cant wait to spend most of 2010 learning about photography and hopefully travelling to japan with it!

subscribed to your videos *big thumbs up*

[witherm01]

PS. Nice honest review.

[BustedShutter]

Thanks. Yeah I def agree with you about the noise. Beyond ISO 800, it gets pretty noisy. Some professionals probably would take issue with it beyond 400 even. Aside from that, it's a fantastic piece of kit.

[witherm01]

As long as the user enjoys shooting with it and it does not limit creativity then that's all the user needs. I agree that the D300 is an amazing tool but as you alluded to in you film you will pay up to 3x the price for that camera. The D200 was half the price of a D300 when I bought it (cant argue with that) and it was the same price as the D80, I am so glad I bought the D200. When the price of FX falls I will probably go for a D700 but keep the D200 to get the focal length advantage.

[witherm01]

Hello, I have a D200 and purchased it for £600 (GBP) about 2 years ago. It sounds like you got a great deal on a great camera. I agree that the handling of this camera is great and I have created some amazing pictures. I have used the D200 upto ISO800 with but beyond this the noise is quite bad, but for normal shooting it's great. One thing to note is that the D200 can use older manual focus lenses with the 'Non-CPU data' setting (another great feature), consumer cameras cannot.
