price check on a d200?

So that's at most 450 shots per battery, and you're not telling us how many shots are with flash, or how much chimping. Anyway, this is more or less consistent with my experience with the D200. But my D300 bodies get about double that per battery, or more. The power consumption needs of the D200 are well documented.

I rarely use flash more than 20 times in a 3-day period of travels, and I only use playback for a few seconds after each shot. But I guess it is a matter of expectation that I said that the battery life was good for me. I had expected that it would be shorter. Normally, the reason why I normally recharge the battery every third day is mainly for the peace of mind. Usually I would have at least 1/3 to 1/2 power left when I recharge the battery. If I am not on the road, I normally wouldn't bother recharging so soon when I am just doing casual shooting in town.
 
Joe,

You already know this, but you got a fabulous deal. I used to own two D200s. I carried one every day for a while. If I found one like yours at that price, I'd probably buy it. I enjoyed B&W at ISO 800. I used mostly AI and AIS lenses. I'd definitely use the newer 35/1.8 DX lens most of the time.

Have fun.
 
thanks willie!
i'm happy with the deal and the camera so far...i'm liking the 24 on the 1.5 crop...i have to put a halt on more lenses...my bag will not fit anymore ;)

also, the shot of my little dog was a one hander at iso 800.
 
I missed this thread...I would have suggested a D5000 as it has the same sensor your D90 has...oh well the D200 is an awesome camera...
 
i like the d200 so far...and i got it cheap...that is the key issue...i wanted to build a nikon dslr system as cheaply as i could...and i did.
i have 2 bodies and 5 lenses all for under 2k.
