Hi guys i would like to ask your advice on which camera to get because i know that the D80 has the majority of the D200 specs but is the D200 worth it than?D80?

Also whats the best price now for both of the models body only.

you happy with your D80?
im still searching for a cheap cheap D80 body..

- D200 is a semi-pro/pro. D80 rest as amateurs good camera.
- Color Matrix Metering: 1000 pixels RGB sensor(D200) vs 420 pixels RGB sensor(D80)
- D200 uses compact flash memory cards. D80 uses SD memory cards. Compact flash is very useful If you are planning to upgrade to D2X or another future professional camera or simply comming from D70. (You don't have to buy again all your memory cards)
- Shutter speed- 1/8000 for D200 and 1/4000 for D80.
- Continuos shooting- 5 frame/s for D200 and 3 frame/s for D80.
- Continuos shooting: 37 / 22 frames (JPEG / RAW) D200 vs 23 / 6 frames (JPEG / RAW) for D80. Please notice the difference in RAW.
- D200 has a much more advanced interface, with external controls for nearly all functions, whereas the D80 (like the D70) relies more on interal menues.
- Nikon just won the EISA awards - The D200 as the best camera 2006-2007.
- Definitive more rigid body. D200 looks like a tank and D80 looks like a Jeep.
- Lacking from the D80 is the "Non-CPU Lens Data" menu item found in the D200 and D2Xs, for entering information about non-CPU lenses, as well as the aperture-indexing finger that the D200 has for wide-open metering with older "AI" lenses.
- D200 has Group Dynamic AF (Sports useful) and Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF (useful for difficult front subjects with distracting background).

WB not sure.
But D80 does have a better noise control, more obvious if u compare at high ISO.

d200's noise handling better than d80? u sure bout this?

ok thanks for your comment..
anyone else?
