the D200 if you can afford it!
The obvious differences are:- 1) Weather-proof body. It does feel like a tank though, but with the cost of extra weight. 2) 5fps !!! (This is particularly nice for burst shots to freeze motion & even bracketing while handholding). Combine it with a speedlight, and you are able to take 5fps with flash! <-- LoL, handle with care 3) Different neckstrap (haha!)  If the above isn't too important, get the d80, and invest the money on your lenses instead...  |

QUOTE(scotty @ Jul 25 2007, 01:51 AM) some said d80 has more accurate WB. And better noise control. issit true? I heard D200 has more accurate WB, but is still fooled indoors sometimes... not sure about noise though Added on July 25, 2007, 12:34 pm QUOTE(AhBoiz @ Jul 24 2007, 04:35 PM) D200 and D80 has a big price jump though.. if it fits your needs, maybe try to get it second-hand... I would love to get a D200 if i can get it cheap coz it does fit my need more so.. oh yah, there is a rumor* that the d200 will be replaced by a new model soon....  *Rumor rumor rumor This post has been edited by wlcling: Jul 25 2007, 12:34 PM |

QUOTE(AhBoiz @ Jul 28 2007, 10:47 PM) i doubt the D200 would go obsolete soon.. the specs are still very very usable and better than the D80. People are still choosing the D200 over the D80 if the have the cash..Besides if a higher model came out the price would probably be a killer and unreasonable compared to theD200 and D80.. Congrats!!! You won't regret it...Also i got my D200 today guys     QUOTE(Gadget_Freak @ Jul 28 2007, 11:11 PM) If i got the cash, i'll choose S5 over D200 as i dun need the faster fps if i got the cash, i'll love to have both... haha |
