Reviewer Comments: This camera is well worth the price!

I have owned many different camera bodies as a professional wedding photographer and the D200 outshines them all. The only camera that I have that has any chance of competition with the D200 is the D2XS, but its hefty price tag makes it very impractical for all but the hardcore professional.

When I first received the D200 I noticed a few drawbacks that I was not happy with, like the balance in my hand felt a little off, and the very low shot per battery ratio. But all of this was overcome by simply adding on the optional MB200 battery pack. This way you have twice the battery power for longer photo shoots, and the added height and weight at the bottom of the additional batteries seems to "balance out" the camera nicely.

For a camera of this price range, I could not be happier.
