Hi there,
Looks like the D200 is almost out and about now.
Here is a link some people may find interesting.
One thing I just found out was that you can fine-tune the camera's metering system.... eg if you find that centre-weighted metering always underexposes by 1/3 of a stop you can set it to always increase the exposure by 1/3 of a stop (in a menu.....this is seperate from using the command dials for every shot)
Sounds like a dangerous feature to me (.... forget it's on and then you have posts all over the internet saying "my camera is under/over exposing.... the D200 sucks.... )

Living in poverty due to my addiction to NIKON... Is there a clinic that can help me?
Sorry Paul,
Am I as daft as most people think or did you neglect to include the link? I follwed the link in your signature but found no D200 story. On the metering subject, it is my finding that both my Nikon D70s and Canon EOS 5D overexpose by about 2/3rds of a stop. I have not completed my investigation as yet but I have plottedchara cteristic curves of the devises in an attempt to get some correlation between my 1º spot meter and the 'optimal' exposure. This is of particular importance where studio flash is concerned. True, the histograms do provide some indication of where everything is headed but they are not as precise as I would like. Hence the research. _______________

The addition of a Kelvin setting impresses me. Will I or won't I? Hhhhm?!?!

Onyx,
Of course the D70s has sold - it is a fine unit and mine had only made a little over a thousand exposures. Did the D200 have its December 15 release - I guess we'd be a day late on this side of the planet? I do have one reserved as soon as they lob, but it is a matter of whether or not I choose to exercise the option. I figure that it could be nice with my 60mm Micro and 85mm. I wonder how the D200 faires with the 35mm f/2? Can't say I was 'over the moon' with its performance on the D70s for what is effectively the field of view of a standard lens. Hey, while you're there - wanna great little 45mm 'P'? Cheers, _______________

Re: D200 "Digitutor"
I have done exactly that with the same option on my 20D - set that accidentally. I do find it underexposes by about 1/3 stop sometimes ... Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes. http://www.dionm.net/
My understanding is that units started shipping from Nikon Japan on Dec 14 .... g.

Yeah Gary got that from Maxwell too. Also heard that the grip for D200 they don't expect till midto late Jan. or Feb.!! I'll order my grip from poon
I've just ordered mine from Birddog along with a couple of PRIME lenses. Can't wait. Although I heard from Maxwell they will be servicing the likes of Ted's and the bigger stores with the first shipment 
cheers marco

Another point whilst the picture gallery is made to look impressive notice no images taken with ISO over 400?? Doesn't fill one with confidence in terms of its high ISO performance.
 Still happy I've ordered the camera though 
Geoff even the simple photo slide show doesnt' work to seemlessly. They really need to get Gary and the boys on this site
cheers marco

I saw a D200 in Jessops in the UK yesterday... No price...
Unfortunately, Mrs. Leek noticed my lust and I was frogmarched from the shop before I could even ask them to get it out of the cabinet... I'll try to do better on my next encounter... 
Interestingly, it seemed to have a 18-70 kit lens on it... Cheers, John
