The Nikon D200 in 2024

With digital cameras the information about the photograph is stored in the EXIF data of the image file. So one can see the camera and lens one used and the date one shot the photo.

I shot this photo on the 7th January 2008 with a Nikon D200. I used a 50mm lens f/1.8 lens at aperture of f/7.1. The shutter speed was 1/100th of a second and the ISO was 640.

The Nikon D200 is a heavy beast by today’s standards. It has a magnesium alloy body and weighs 920 g with battery installed.

The camera has a 10.2 MP CCD sensor, which is small by today’s standards with 20MP or more being common.

And it uses Compact Flash cards for storing images, rather than SD cards that are common today.

Here is a comparison of the size of the camera compared to the Canon EOS R6 and the Ricoh GRIII.

  1. Lovely photo — made up of gorgeous, wonderfully plump sheep, such cuties! 🐑 Your shot captured it beautifully.

    1. Shades of Gene Wilder in ‘All you wanted to know…’ in the vignette where he falls in love with a sheep.

    1. Looking at your comment I realised that the image I took with the camera had disappeared – no idea how – so I replaced it from the original NEF that is on my hard drive. Best of luck with the camera. It is a beast, but I remember when photography reviewers would say that weight made cameras more stable, and now they laud in-body image stabilisation.
