This is a lovely Nikon in near mint condition. It’s a cult classic because of the CCD sensor and its wonderful build quality. You'll find countless favorable reviews about this camera on YouTube. Owners love it because of the film-like rendition and lovely colors it produces. It's a rendition that's very similar to the Leica M8 but at a fraction of the price. This similarity isn't coincidental. It's because both cameras used nearly identical Kodak CCD sensors which preceded the CMOS sensors we use today. So if you're considering a Leica M8 or M8.2 you may want to give this D200 camera first before spending a lot of cash needlessly. 

 

The D200 was an improvement on the very popular D100 which came before it but had extra features, more megapixels, a bigger screen and was finished to a much higher, professional level. The D200 was also originally priced at $1800, so the quality and workmanship is very noticeable. Like all Nikon semi-pro and pro cameras, it has a tough magnesium frame inside the camera. It also has a built-in focus motor which is missing in later, cheaper models. 

 

This brings us to a third reason to acquire this camera. Its lens mount and focus motor means that it functions perfectly with nearly any Nikkor lens you mount on it.  I still have a Nikon F3, an F4, and an FE2 with various lenses in my collection. And even though I haven't used them in a very long time, I appreciate that my manual AI & Ais  Nikon lenses work flawlessly and meter correctly on the D200. (Naturally it also works with AF-D and AF-S autofocus Nikkor lenes.) 

 

All in all, it’s a fun to use camera that'll allow you to dust off your Nikkor glass and take them out into the world again. 

 

Everything works as it should. It comes complete as shown with original packaging, manual, battery charger and battery.
