Key Advantages

The Nikon D200 offers a high-resolution 10.2MP sensor that produces sharp and vibrant images suitable for professional use. Its advanced 11-point autofocus system with cross-type sensors provides excellent focus accuracy and speed. The camera's durable magnesium alloy body ensures robust performance in challenging conditions. A fast shutter speed up to 1/8000 second allows for freezing fast motion and creative exposure effects. It supports various Nikon F-mount lenses, offering flexibility in focal length and aperture choices. The inclusion of USB 2.0 and flash sync ports enhances connectivity and lighting options for advanced workflows.

Limitations

Despite being advanced for its time, the Nikon D200's 2.5-inch LCD screen is relatively small compared to modern standards, limiting image review clarity. Its ISO range maxes out at 1600, which can be restrictive in very low-light situations compared to newer cameras with higher ISO capabilities. The camera's weight and bulkiness might be cumbersome for casual users or extended handheld shooting. It lacks video recording features, which are common in more contemporary cameras. The absence of in-body image stabilization requires users to rely on stabilized lenses or tripods. Lastly, the CompactFlash storage format is less convenient than the more popular SD cards used in many newer models.
