2006.01.10: D200 first look

For us "normal" people who don't get cameras to play with before everyone else does, the sneak peak of a D200 at an unnamed location is a noteworthy occasion. In a few minutes, Dong, Huy, Jonathan, and I will all be at a location looking at the D200 officially. Three D200's have arrived at McBain Camera Kingsway, one earmarked for each of us. Price is roughly $2100 for the 10MP+, 11pt AF array, magnesium shelled, environmentally-sealed body. I don't think I'll be picking one up but I'll write again upon my return.

D200 . . .

Jackie and the D200 . . . dark hair and light eyes�only makes�this camera hotter. Too bad she's a Canon shooter.

Dong and . . . WTF is that? A Canon 5D? Traitor!

Oh man, I'm in love with Jackie. The way she holds the Canon and the expression on her lovely face evoke deep erotic fantasies in my wicked mind. Too bad we are separated by the Atlantic.

Whoa, buddy . . . you're lucky I don't know your wife's e-mail address. Then again, maybe you're actually in love with Dong because HE's the one holding the Canon.

j/k Good seeing that you're alive again.

Oh of course, those darned camera names. Nikon D200! Looks like you fancy her too...'dark hair and light eyes only makes this camera hotter.' http://klyment.com/serendipity/templates/default/img/emoticons/tongue.png As for Dong...Dong the cyclops!

Hahah, I suppose that's just a minor detail.

LMAO . . . oh well, the 5D feels less "wrong" in my hands than any other Canon I've used. Yeah . . . I have a weakness for dark hair and light eyes.

And the tongue emoticon is just ": - p", sans espaces naturellement.

blushes furiously oh dear Klyment. lol I like the D200 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than any Canon hunk of crap.

I guess then that's too bad for Steve.

Where did you get the tongue-emoticon? I would like to use it more often in conversation.

"Finally" something? I dunno . . . all I have to say to the 20D is "no spot meter". Man . . . even the D50 has a spot meter. But yes, there was a huge gap between the D70s and the D2X that needed to be filled the D2Hs certainly wasn't filling it.

The D200 looks promising, finally something to threaten the mighty 20D... I wonder how it will compare to a D2X; especially given the price (more bang-for-the-buck, and something to fill the BIG gap between the D70s and the D2X) This means that Canon will come out with a "D200-killer" and the cycle of upgrades will continue... and in the end we'll all end up with better cameras (and empty pockets)...
