Nikon D200 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens

Nikon D200 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens

Customer Review: You're going to love this outfit
My first digital SLR was the D70. I stayed with slides a long time, 30 years. But with digital I had more keepers at the end of the day. Everything good about digital is enhanced by this package. Everything good that you've heard is true. Get in line. It took me 6 months to get this one. You'll have a ball.
Customer Review: Already one of the great ones. A great deal.
The Nikon D200 is a professional camera which is also aimed at the serious amateur digital photographer. It is essentially the upgrade unit from the D100/D70s, and it incorporates solid improvements over those excellent cameras.

The most obvious upgrade feature of the D200 is the 10.2 megapixel images that it creates. The advantage of more megapixels is twofold. Firstly, many digital photographers "crop" their images in post-processing. For example, if you take a photograph of a flying bird such that the bird occupies only a quarter of the image, you may want to crop the image such that you eliminate half of the image, leaving the bird dominant. More megapixels means more detail will survive the cropping, which is essentially a form of magnification. Secondly, if you wish to print images larger than about 8 x 10, more megapixels again equates to more detail.

In my opinion the most impressive improvement in the D200 over the D100/D70s is the autofocus system. The D200 gives the user numerous different autofocus modes over and above those offered by the D100/D70s. These are designed to make it easier and more effective for the user to photograph moving and erratic subjects, such as fast-flying birds, or athletes on the playing field for you sports photographers. This, combined with another big improvement of the D200--the fabulously bright and wide viewfinder--makes it much easier to photograph difficult fast-moving subjects. The D200 viewfinder is wonderfully bright, making acquisition of difficult subjects much easier. Combined with the improved autofocus, I am bringing home more "keeper" photographs of erratically flying birds in which these photos are in perfect focus.

The D200 also offers up to 5 frames-per-second continuous shooting, and has a big buffer so that the camera will not slow down to write to the CF card. This is really useful when shooting fast-moving subjects. When combined with the excellent autofocus system, the user can shoot fast shots with confidence that most or all of them will be in focus. This is another improvement over the 3 FPS of the D70s.

Another obvious improvement of the D200 is its body construction. The quality and durability of the D200, which is housed in an all-metal body which is weathersealed at all critical points, has to be experienced to be appreciated. The unit is built very solidly, but happily does not sacrifice weight for durability like some Nikons (remember the F5?) have done in the past. Despite being all-metal, the D200 is light enough that you will probably not mind carrying it all day on vacation (like I like to do) or during outdoor photo shoots. Although this camera body is of pro-quality, it nevertheless retains enough lightness and is sufficiently compact that amateurs will not feel overwhelmed by its size or weight when carrying it around on vacation or whatnot.

Other reviewers have noted that the D200 is much more similar to Nikon's other professional cameras, and I am inclined to agree with this. I am only an enthusiastic amateur, and I am convinced that the D200 is about as much camera as virtually any amateur can effectively appreciate.

The D200 menu system is very good, and it is an improvement over the already very good menus contained in the D100/D70s. The camera allows the user to set up four "banks" of settings that are completely independent of one another. Thus, you can have one bank with settings optimized for portraits, one for fast-moving subjects (e.g. birds), one for landscapes, and one for point-and-shoot "party" shots. (This is how I have mine set up, credit to "Nikonians"). While this sounds complicated, the way Nikon set up their menus actually made this quite easy to grasp, and after about thirty minutes of playing with the camera I was quite proficient with the menus. Good job Nikon.

By the way, the exposure system on the D200 is also an upgrade from the D100/D70s. Nikon really spared no effort to make the D200 a quantum leap over its already excellent line of amateur DSLRs. This is the first amateur digital camera that I have used that seems to get exposures as good as my old F5 film camera (one of the great Nikons during the film era) although the D100 and D70s came pretty close.

With the D200 Nikon continues its tradition of offering a nice on-board flash. This flash is fine for snapshots and fill-flash of close subjects. Serious shooters will want either the SB-600 or SB-800 external flash units. Again, here Nikon has given the camera pro features--the D200 built in flash can act as a "command" unit for other flashes. Serious amateurs and pros will appreciate this feature.

As if to prove that it re-engineered the D70s/D100 from the ground up, Nikon also improved the battery situation with the D200. The D200 battery has built in voltage testing, which means that the battery indicator on the D200 is actually accurate, a first in my experience with any DSLR camera. This means that when it says that the battery is half-discharged, that is actually the case. (On other, earlier units, when the battery indicator moved from "full" this usually meant full discharge was imminent.) This is important because the D200 does go through a battery significantly faster than did the D100/D70s. This is partly because of (yes, another upgrade) the larger LCD viewer on the back of the camera, and partly just to the more complex electronics in the unit. Serious users will want to buy one or more extra batteries to stash in one's pocket or vest.

The 18-70 DX kit lens is a very nice little lens. It features some ED glass for better contrast in the images. Since it is a DX lens, it is small and light, while sacrificing nothing in image quality. This is a great first lens or walkaround vacation lens for portraits, snapshots, and landscape shots.

One very minor quibble with the D200. The default sharpening settings are somewhat soft. Some users have been unhappy that when they take the D200 out of the box and start shooting, that their images are not tack-sharp, as to be expected from a high-end camera. Not to worry, simply set sharpening to +1 or higher in the camera and it will produce sharp images. Better yet, experiment in post-processing with sharpness settings. Bottom line is that the unit will and does produce tack-sharp images, but not with the default menu settings.

Overall, the D200 is a pro camera at amateur pricing. It is used by pros and serious amateurs, and with its feature set and impeccable quality and ergonomics, it is an impressive offering by Nikon. This is one of those cameras that is really fun to use, and it produces fine, sharp, and bright images limited only by the skill of the photographer. Highly recommended. Check prices

Customer Review: looks good on paper
not worth the money. takes fuzzy pictures. eats batteries real quick. quite a disappointment
Customer Review: Great photos but slow and cumbersome
I bought a 4 megapixel Sony DSC S90 last Christmas, and it worked fine, but I thought I could do better. Taking pictures of flats like books and magazines all day long, I thought a camera with a swivel lens design was exactly what I needed. That way I could point the lens down while keeping the LCD at eye range and not have to bend over all day. The Nikon Coolpix S4 is the only one currently on the market with that swivel body many people understandably love (I thought about getting an old Nikon Coolpix 4500 with a puny 1.5 inch LCD off ebay, but that's taking a big gamble). I hate to say it because it sounds so innovative, but this swivel design may not be for me. I just find the S4 cumbersome, a lot harder to handle than the Sony. It takes longer to set up than the Sony. Also, 90% of the time I was getting that blur warning - well, it's hard to keep the camera steady when you have to press hard down on the shutter to get it to go (pressing it halfway sets the camera's exposure but why not be able to set it some other way??). You just have to tap the shutter on the Sony - I took for granted how nice and easy it was. I thought the blur warning on the S4 would be terrific because I would upload pictures from the Sony into my PC and then see that some (not many) were a bit blurry, and I'd have to debate going back and setting up shots again. But the 2.5 inch Sony LCD is nice and clear, so usually you can tell if the picture is going to be blurry. The Nikon 2.5 inch LCD is NOT nice and clear so you DO need that blur warning set to ON. I'll try it for a couple of more days, taking pictures with the blur warning off, and see how sharp they look on my computer. But I believe I'm headed back to the Circuit City returns department to pay that bloody 15% restocking fee. Check prices

Nikon Coolpix 4600 4MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera features a 4-megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom through a high-quality Zoom-Nikkor lens, and long battery life using convenient AA-size batteries. Plus, with Nikon's exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, red eyes may be a thing of the past. Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations.

Nikon's exclusive new D-Lighting feature is another new addition that can turn throwaway shots into frame-able memories. The D-Lighting feature can be selected in Playback mode, automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. The Coolpix 4600 is also equipped with Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon, which alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene.

The Coolpix 4600 is also phenomenally easy to use. In fact, it's been designed to appeal not only to beginners of all ages, but also to people who've never even considered buying a digital camera before. With a redesigned graphical user interface (GUI) that lets the user navigate functions by either menu item list or icon, it enables the beginner to find the right mode at the right moment to achieve the best results, time after time. Furthermore, with a handy new Help button that displays a description for each selected function on the main menu, the process has been made easier than ever before.

The 4600's D-Lighting feature allows in-camera compensation for uneven lighting.

The camera also features a large, bright 1.8-inch LCD screen, making it easy to compose shots and view recorded images at any time. It's been designed to consume much less power, making it possible to take almost twice as many images when using regular AA alkaline batteries.

Like its predecessors, the Coolpix 4600 also features Scene Modes, which allow the camera to adjust to the most typical shooting environments--Sunset, Fireworks, Indoor, Portrait, etc.--with the turn of a dial. The Coolpix 4600 and 5600 also feature an entirely new Scene Mode, Underwater Mode, which produces more satisfying, true-to-life colors when using the optional WP-CP3 waterproof case (case not included--must be purchased separately) to shoot scenes while snorkeling or scuba diving to a depth of up to 130 feet. This exciting new addition increases the number of Scene Modes to 16.

Creative snap-shooters have the option of five Color Options, including sepia tone, black-and-white, and even cyanotype, to change the entire look and feel of a shot. The 4600 also has 14MB of internal memory, allowing images to be recorded without additional memory media.

The Coolpix 4600 also makes it easy to capture action in an expressive manner with movie-shooting capabilities. It offers a choice of three simplified Movie Modes--TV, Small, and Smaller. (Movies are recorded without sound.) It can also be easily connected to a TV through the included video cable, to share the fun with friends and family.

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera makes the entire digital process more convenient. Its PictBridge compatibility makes it possible to print directly to a printer without the need for a PC. For those who enjoy organizing and sharing their photographs on a computer, Nikon Coolpix cameras ship with Nikon's proprietary PictureProject software, a user-friendly photo-management software designed expressly for use by Nikon Coolpix photographers, that offers a broad selection of cataloguing, editing, and sharing functions. This software package is aimed at providing a central location that is simple, intuitive, and seamless for Coolpix digital photographers.
Customer Review: For the price, the 4600 is a bargain - but keep your batteries!
The reason I purchased this camera has to do with the delay in how long it takes to actually take a picture after pushing the shutter button.

Every other camera I had tried in this price range was unnaceptable. The coolpix series have a reasonable level of performance in shutter delay.

Now that I have the camera, and have used it, I am impressed with how easy it is to use, and it's performance.

However, this camera will kill batteries if you use the flash, but it takes good pictures with the flash turned off, and the batteries last a lot longer that way. No glare or uneven lighting too!

I've been using alkaline batteries, so I don't know about the recommended Ni/Mh type, but if you use alkalines I recommend that when the batteries stop working in the camera, to save the batteries for use in a mini-mag flashlight(or other device) as they are not really run down all the way and judging by how much light I get from my mini-mag, they're only 50% When the camera decides to stop working.
Customer Review: Shame on Nikon
I am a Nikon fan I have Nikon 6T and Nikon D50. But about Coolpix 4600:
All picutures are always blurred or atleast fuzzy. It somehow take decent photos of face and buildings(if they have strong straight edges/stripes). Check prices

Customer Review: I had bad luck at first....
I had the unfortunate experience of having a problem with my camera. For the most part, it took great pictures. However, if I took a picture of a light object, a white wall for instance, there was a dark circular spot in the center. It looked like a dark shadow. So I had to return the camera and I bought another one and it works fine. It takes great pictures and love it. It's easy for a beginner. Good luck!
Customer Review: Good but minimal Flash
Flash system isn't up to the job. Indoor pics over ten feet are dark(black even) & all are mostly red. Maybe i got a bad one, seemed like the shutter and flash don't work together. Outdoor pics are fine. Check prices
