The D200 combines newly developed Nikon digital technologies with advanced features to create a precision-engineered, high-performance digital SLR designed for the ultimate digital SLR experience.

A newly developed 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor, and featuring Nikon's exclusive image processing engine and image optimizing functionality, the D200 captures images with sharp detail and faithful colour to deliver extraordinary resolution.

The D200 excels in the capture of fleeting or unexpected moments with power-up in a mere 0.15 seconds, a remarkable shutter time lag of only 50 milliseconds and a shortened viewfinder blackout time of just 105 milliseconds. Performance is accelerated with high-speed continuous shooting capability at up to 5fps, with continuous bursts of up to an impressive 37 JPEG (Fine-large) images or up to 22 shots in NEF (RAW) format, making the D200 a perfect fit for discriminating photographers and a natural choice for wedding, event and action specialists.

Complementing its exceptional handling, the D200 has been created with a magnesium alloy chassis that combines light weight with high-level durability. It also features an enhanced sealing system that helps protect exterior seams from potentially damaging moisture and dust.
The D200 viewfinder is bright and offers a large 0.94x magnification to ensure the clearest view possible for precise composition, and a built-in diopter adjustment that allows the camera to be calibrated to the photographer's.
