Review: not bragging honest!
I'm a pro photographer and bought these Nikon D200 SLR digital cameras to complement my growing equipment stash and have been very pleased with the results.
Buyer beware though - the manual doesn't make for a straight forward read. instead spend a little more cash and by the Thom Hogan cd book from www.bythom.com
Once you understand the camera you'll adore it.
PS...if you plan on shooting in available light with high iso settings then I'd think of buying perhaps a full frame Canon (5D or 1Dsmk2) but they're significantly more expensive.
Mostly though this camera feels just right in your hands - it feels like it's made from top quality materials and the engine inside has more configurations than you'll ultimately need. Buy some image software to accompany the D200 and you'll be set for life (well, until the next gen of cameras raise the bar higher).
Software I'd recommend -
catalogue you digital library everytime - Adobe Lightroom will do that and much more.
For significant image alterations absolutely recommend...
Adobe CS2 or CS3. For most CS2 will start sell for less with the introduction of CS3 but will be more than most will need. If you have the money - CS3, if not, find a copy of CS2 but Lightroom is where I'd begin. |
