Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / January 2006Where are the D200's?
Has anybody got some insight as to when Nikon is going to ship the next batch of D200 bodies?  SignatureJimmy Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't be any more D200 bodies? That could be marketing at its finest. > Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't be > any more D200 bodies? > > That could be marketing at its finest. Well...no. The D200 has only been for sale for about a month... >>Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't be >>any more D200 bodies?

That means there's *at least* another month before it's obsolete... >>> Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't >>> be any more D200 bodies?

Their product roll-out is slow as mollasses. -But since you did say, "at least," I guess you'd be technically correct. :) >>>>Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't >>>>be any more D200 bodies?

I think the Pentax DSLR line will stay branded Pentax. The digital P&S may become double branded; sold under both labels. And the announcement of the joint venture or whatever seemed to indicate Samsung would provide the sensor for a generation AFTER the *ist-D2 (actually the next generation of AF-645D). Pentax hasn't actually said anything about a *ist-D2 AFAIK. I'm just hoping based on the Nikon D100 & *ist-D used the same sensor chip & Nikon's got a new 10.2MP camera using the same vendor's chip. So hopefully Pentax ... >>>> Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't >>>> be any more D200 bodies? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Nah...

Perhaps you're just caught up in the Canon marketing machine? ;-) SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com >>>>> Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there >>>>> won't be any more D200 bodies? [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Perhaps you're just caught up in the Canon marketing machine? > ;-) Nah. I've got my gripes about Canon, too. As for being caught up...I don't think so, since I'm still shooting with my 10D...having passed up all of their new bodies since then...and not due to money issues. Canon has managed to get a lot of lens money during that wait...but my lenses will be around long after my 10D retires. :) I am keeping my eyes open for info on the 20D replacement, but it will have to be pretty slick to make me jump. > but my lenses will be around long after my 10D retires. :) And us film dinosaurs keep the camera bodies around and retire the lenses. I hope your 10D's retirement will be voluntary. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics.

It will be. More likely, it will become a backup body next to a +/-12mp update at some point. I still shoot with my EOS 3 and Elan IIe, though with diminishing frequency. I've "retired", sold, or given away my non-L lenses, save for two that I think are in the same league of quality: 50 1.4 and 100 2.8 macro. > Could it be that the D250 or the D300 will be next, and there won't be > any more D200 bodies? > > That could be marketing at its finest. Looks like I'll be calling B&H tomorrow to preorder the D300. Rita |
