Hmm I've been thinking about upgrading my D70 for the past month now. Mainly down to the fact that Image State, the agency I wish to represent my photographs, don't accept images from the prosumer model cameras. I have been thinking about the D2X and at nearly £4000 I was having to do some serious thinking! However, it seems Nikon have answered my prayers and released the D200 just in time. Due for release at the end of 2005 the D200 is a cheaper digital SLR camera for pro photographers. Read the reviews for more, but in short the D200 can shoot continuously at up to five frames per second, capturing up to 37 JPEG images or up to 22 NEF (RAW) images. The camera has a magnesium alloy chassis and body cover, as well as an 'environmental sealing system' that helps protect exterior seams from potentially damaging moisture and dust. It employs a new 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor and 1005-pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II system. Plus a whole host of external command dials and buttons which will definitely help my photography. I've lost count of the times I have missed an opportunity due to ploughing through the menu system via the LCD display.
I know what I want from Santa this xmas.
