The Nikon D200 digital SLR is faster when it counts, more intelligent where it matters and more rugged where it’s essential. Breathtaking image quality is assured by a high-performance 10.2 megapixel DX Format CCD sensor coupled with Nikon's exclusive image processing engine and the world's most sophisticated light metering system. The D200's framing rate of up to 5 frames per second and minimized (50 ms) shutter lag provide ultra-fast handling characteristics, allowing high sequential image speed for sports, wildlife, fashion and event photography. A cold startup time of just 0.15 seconds (15/100ths) is also the fastest of any camera in its class. A new 11-area Multi-Cam 1000 AF sensor assures fast and accurate focusing in a broader range of lighting conditions, and the D200 offers best-in-class energy consumption efficiency. Up to 1,800 images per charge of the D200's new EN-EL3e battery keeps you shooting longer. And Nikon's unique Smart Battery Monitoring System (Fuel Gauge) offers accurate and functional information to the photographer. An expansive set of additional features and creative controls include: Depth-of-Field Control, Image Overlay and Multiple Exposure capability, Shutter Speeds from 30-seconds to 1/8,000th, 1/250th Flash Synch Speed, FP High-Speed sync to 1/8,000 sec, and exclusive Nikon i-TTL Speedlight Technology. Combine this with the advanced and exclusive Nikon Creative Lighting System, including the SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights, and the D200 is capable of offering more flash illumination control than ever before. All of these technologies are at the heart of a digital SLR capable of recording image files of breathtaking quality and uniquely enabled to perform to a standard once reserved for cameras costing far more.
Key Features:
10.2 megapixel DX Format CCD image sensor:
A newly developed 10.2 effective megapixel DX Format CCD image sensor
that captures images with edge-to-edge sharpness and incredible color
at 3,872 x 2,592 pixels, yielding extraordinarily high-resolution
images perfect for enlargements or creative cropping.
Industry-leading image processing for exceptional color performance:
Incorporates Nikon's industry-leading advanced imaging processing
engine of the D2x, which allows color-independent pre-conditioning
prior to A/D conversion to work in symphony with advanced digital image
processing algorithms to achieve fine color gradations with
exceptionally smooth, consistent transitions.
Large viewfinder with 0.94x magnification:
The new eye-level optical viewfinder developed for the D200 features
large magnification (0.94x) that helps ensure a clear view for precise
composition, and built-in diopter adjustment that allows fine-tuning to
your eyesight.
Durable, Magnesium alloy (Mg) body: Nikon's
advanced technologies and mechanisms are housed within a rugged,
lightweight magnesium alloy chassis and body ready for the most
rigorous of assignments. Additional sealing for dust and moisture add
to the D200's strength.
5fps high-speed continuous shooting:
Capture fast action and fleeting expressions with the ability to
capture high-resolution images at a rapid 5 frames per second in
continuous bursts of up to 22 NEF (RAW) or 37 JPEG (FINE - LARGE)
shots**
Fast SLR response where it counts: Instant
power-up in just 0.15 seconds, a shutter release time lag of a mere 50
milliseconds, and a shortened viewfinder blackout time of just 105
milliseconds makes the D200 ready to respond to any photographic
situation.
New, 11-area Multi-CAM AF System with 7 Area Wide AF: The new
Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor Module offers an 11-area AF that ensures
consistently fast and precise focus lock under varying shooting
conditions. The 7-wide area AF system, offers broad coverage suited for
moving subjects enabling greater compositional freedom.
Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with wide angle viewing to 170 degrees:
A high-resolution LCD monitor provides ultra-wide, 170 degree viewing
in all directions. Assisting with accurate sharpness assessment, images
can be previewed at up to 400% magnification.
