Review: I've had my D-200 for about 2 months now and am very pleased with it. From the ability to remotely activate flash to the pop-up info about almost every menu function, this is all the camera I'd hoped my D1x would be but wasn't. Given the camera's capabilities, price and magnesium-alloy substructure, owning a D-200, for me, was only a matter of when, not if. And compared to my D1x, battery life is excellent.
