Why choose D200? (if money is not an issue)

[calebk]

No reason to choose D200 anymore! ;p

cos you can SELL D300s

Well, hard to tell... may be due to ease of use (less bulky than D2Xs), fast speed over the lower end brothers, high MP count, better sensors for WB, etc... it all depends on the user.

"high MP count , better sensors for WB" ...Can anybody elaborate more?

D200 have a better noise tolerence over D2x. In a wedding , the ablilty to handle noise is important. Been there and done that over 2 camera in a wedding. D2x have the power of focus but it just too noisy . it a matter of a scarfice over focus and noise handling . I will chose the latter..

Depends on how steady your hand is. If you have a steady hand (till the extent where mirror slap affects camera), D2x/s is a much more solid than the D200, and I wouldn't worry about noise much.

MY D40, on the other hand, I worry about noise because I often shoot at ISO1600 without flash, and the mirror slap is very obvious (for obvious reasons) compared to my D2x, which I feel almost nothing, and can take sharp 1/8s shots. My D40, only 50% of the time do my 1/10s shots come out sharp, and the max I can go is 1/20s, sometimes 1/15s.

I concur. I'll go with the D3 if money is not an issue. :thumbsup:

If money no issue the digital Hassie is still a hassle to carry around. So I vote for D3 too. :thumbsup:

I just love money no issue threads on clubsnap. :lovegrin:

Higher MP count over the D70, D50, D40 range...

Sensors wise, it has more to compare between the scenes and allow for a better auto WB. Just check out the specs in Nikon SG website

Is that why it's called Hasselblad? Maybe Swedish doesn't know how to spell hassle or it's not pronounced the same way if you use hassle instead? ;p

Hassle (59°21′N, 15°22′E) is a location in Närke, Sweden, where a Celtic treasure was found in 1936.

Just joking, sorry if anyone offended.

Built in CLS commander? Otherwise I'd go for D2X.

It's just as bulky if not more bulky if you have the MB-D200 on.

And also, it is weaker than d2x, as the grip is screw on and not integrated, I suppose

 

[Henessy]

If money is not an issue, just get the D3, as it is full frame

Yeah.. but it's not that bad. D2X just feels a lot more solid and the mirror is so balanced that it could almost not be felt.

I guess he's trying to say that the mirror slap is negligible...
