The Nikon D200 was released onto the market in November 2005. It is the first Nikon body since the F3 that I found myself liking. I'd been shooting with Pentax since the beginning of that year and when my brother bought one of these I was very impressed with it. I remain so, although subsequent models out-perform it handily.
The follow-on D300 and D300s models, to me, returned Nikon's line to the level of competence and quality that I was used to with the FM2/FE2/F3 lineup in 1982. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
