![]() Directly copied from the D2X is the large, round multifunction rotary knob on the top of the camera, which allows convenient and quick adjustment of the most important image parameters (image quality, sensitivity, white balance) and the image mode (continuous-advance settings, self-timer and mirror lock-up). The fact that miniaturization was not necessarily one of the top priorities in the development of the D200 is shown by the generously dimensioned controls and the large LC screen. It clearly dissociates itself from the appearance of the D70(s) and D50, whereby the entry-level models are already considered to be the most user-friendly cameras in their class. In terms of appearance and operation, the D200 – more than its predecessor, the D100 – is based on the big sisters of the Profi series (D2X, D2H, D2HS). The camera lies perfectly balanced and bombproof in the hand the placement, shape and assignment of each control element is thought through down to the smallest detail. But what use is an armored “battleship” if it can’t hold the water? For this reason, the D200 is equipped with rubber seals at all important points (see pictures below) to prevent moisture and dust from penetrating.Īs one might expect from a camera of this class, the handling and operation of the D200 is uncompromisingly good. The fact that the D200 is not even heavier is due to its lightweight construction and the use of a relatively light magnesium alloy. No wonder, because almost the entire housing is made of metal. The camera body alone weighs just under a kilo (exactly 930 grams including battery), and even the lightest lens is enough to catapult the weight over the kilo mark. The first thought that comes to mind when you hold the D200 in your hand is “this is heavy!” And this in the actual as well as in the figurative sense of the word. limited flash compatibility (iTTL only).Rubber coating comes off at different parts of the housing (at least on the pre-series model).not compatible with other battery types (EN-E元a and some other brands).no mechanical cable release connection (as with the F80 & Co.).distinct robustness, tropical protection.advanced expansion options (GPS, WLAN, battery handle, etc.).extended backward compatibility to manual lenses (Ai, AiS).iTTL flash exposure metering and control.very fast response times (AF, shutter release, on-time, continuous shooting, data transfer, etc.).
