Key Advantages

The Nikon D200 offers exceptional image quality with its 10.2-megapixel sensor delivering detailed and sharp photographs. Its advanced autofocus system with 11 focus points enhances shooting accuracy and speed. The camera's rugged build ensures durability for professional outdoor photography. It supports a wide range of lenses with Nikon F-mount compatibility providing flexibility in creative work. Fast shutter speeds and customizable exposure modes allow precise control over difficult lighting scenarios. Additionally, the dual memory card slots increase storage capacity and provide backup options during shoots.

Limitations

The Nikon D200 lacks live video recording capabilities, limiting its use to still photography only. Its 2.5-inch LCD screen is relatively small and lower resolution compared to modern cameras, impacting image review experience. The camera's autofocus system, while advanced for its time, may struggle with fast-moving subjects in comparison to newer models. Battery life can be limiting when shooting extensively without spares. The ISO range, although expandable, may produce noise at higher sensitivities, reducing low-light image quality. The camera does not have built-in Wi-Fi or modern connectivity options, requiring wired transfer methods for digital files.
