Packaged very well. Excellent correspondence with seller. Brand new condition as promissed. Prompt delivery. I would recommend this seller highly. The other reviews will tell you all you need to know, so I'll try to fit in some other stuff. It's an amazing all-around performer. It's great in low-light, but I did notice something. About six of the pixels are "hot" meaning they show up either red or some other noticeable color in certain photos... primarily in low-light situations with the aperture wide-open. It's super-easy to fix using Photoshop or some other editing program, so not a big deal. Battery life is amazing. I've left it sitting for months and still had enough for a regular day of shooting (a couple hundred photos) with plenty of battery to spare. In fact, I bought an extra battery just in case, but I've never had to use it. On the D200, the rubber grips become loose over time. Nikon USA sells the rubber grips separately for about thirty bucks (1f998-074 Grip)(1f99-073 Front)(1f99-075 Rear). I bought my D200 used and the first thing I wanted to do was replace the grips... but after using it a bit and noticing that the looseness didn't affect usage at all, I decided to save the grips for when I sold the camera. 10.2 Megapixels are all I need... I never thought that the resolution needed to be better. My opinion might change if I used any of my photos in a format bigger than 8 x 10. My camera has about 30,000 shutter actuations, and the shutter is supposed to last 100,000 or more. I'll update this if the shutter should fail before then. So, in short, I love this camera and I won't upgrade until Nikon comes out with something that is significantly better! I have being contemplating jumping into the semi-pro/pro body realm since I outgrew my D40x a year ago, but the prices have been unrealistically high. The D200, though using nearly 4-year old technology, has been a staple for many Nikonians until the D300 was release in 2007; but I never felt that the enhanced AF abilities and ISO capabilities were justifying the extraordinary $1699 price tag of the D300 versus the D200! So I made the jump when a price drop happened, got the D200 for $599 NEW from a competitor online. You can't compare the processing speed or 3D AF of the D300 to the D200, completely blow the socks off of this nearly 4 year old body. But if you are a beginner like me and would like a semi-pro/pro body that has ALL of the functions and customizations you could ever think of, this is your time to jump in on a discontinued body. You could get a D90 for $300 more, but that will soon be outdated by the D400, and after testing out the D5000, I am sure the next in this semi-pro/pro series will be AWESOME; however, are you willing to pay the premium for new technology? In short, CONS: The D200 isn't usable without a flash above ISO 1000 (maybe 1250) The viewfinder isn't 100% Theere aren't dual CF slots PROS: At the current prices, this slaughters the D90/D40/D60 series for ability to have ALL controls at hand, infinite customization, exapansive information in the viewfinder, unparalleled weather sealing, and backward compatibility to lenses dating to the 1960's. Looks cooler than the other D90/D40/D60 series in size, weight, grip, and dimension All in all, this body will teach you how to be an excellent photographer and show you your flaws faster than the newer non pro-models ever could. Happy shooting! So few things in life are worth more than they produce. Typically, a camera is one of those things. The Nikon family of cameras however far exceeds the standards. As a platform, the Nikon D200 camera is one that is hard to beat. Its a rugged camera that I have had the pleasure of dropping many times, picking up, and continue to shoot (after I replaced the lens immediately). No other camera that I have ever owned has it been so easy to reproduce the colors that I see, the scenes that I envision, and the feelings that I want emoted. I can continue with a diatribe of descriptions and technical babel, but as with anything, the best you can do is try it. Take a class on the camera and you will shoot better than you have ever before. I love this camera so much that even though the D300 and D700 are out, I will still buy the D200. Honestly the D200 is all I need. What a camera! I have leaped from the basic point and shoot into the D200 world and have to say : wow! heavy, solid feel and great choice of lenses just as fantastic as the D200. Pair it with a 18-200VR lens and will for sure be astonished by the photo quality! I could not be happier after 6 months of use in a variety of conditions.
