Woahhhhh thats fast zaxh81
More unconfirmed rumour of D200 specs, supposedly from an "official" leak,
Sensor type: CCD (not CMOS?). DX type (i.e. 1.5x crop), ~10 megapixels
Total of 11 AF points, 1 cross-type, AF mode switch to group them into 7 'enhanced' focusing points. (CAM2000 II?)
5FPS, adjustable to 1~4 fps, with 18 NEF buffer.
ISO 100~1600, with HI-1 support to enable 3200.
MF support, FP
Still nothing can be confirmed till the actual announcement date, so have to wait and see...

Yah lor....so slow that God knows how many disgruntled Nikon users got sick of waiting and have jumped ship to other brands. ;p I personally know of at least one person who did that.espn said:A bit too slow actually, the D200 should have been at least due last year and the SU-800... should have been out earlier
But well, for those who waited long enuff, ur patience is rewarded. Lets see how the specs goes, looks like a "D2X-Lite" in a D100 sized body, I think the most critical factors are AF performance and high ISO noise. We'll just have to wait and see...
You're right about the D100 price.espn said:
It is the current strategy by Nikon, the Pining maneouvre if you play chess. Simply give 80-90% of the function of the higher end competitor but match the price of the lower end.
Eg. D2X gives 90% of the practical functionality of 1DsMkII and yet cost less than a 1DMkIIN at street price of S$6800 (local warranty). Why do you think Phil Askey, a Canon Pro, said what he said in the conclusion of his 1DsMkII review
.Similarly, D200 will give 80-90% (specs not out yet
) of the 1DMkIIN and yet priced at 20D. There were witnesses present who heard when I said this a few months ago... The D100 and D70 still makes good photo... :sticktong Unless they died, have the cameras been losing its ability to take photo or because of equipment w*nking again?espn said:A bit too slow actually, the D200 should have been at least due last year and the SU-800... should have been out earlier
