Nikon D200 Kit: In Depth Review

The camera is a 10.2 megapixel digital SLR camera that is capable of capturing highly professional prints of amazing detail and quality. It shoots five frames per second and has a large monitor able to provide 170 degrees of wide angle viewing.

The Nikon D200 kit comes equipped with a newly designed, high energy lithium-ion battery that is capable of powering the camera for up to 1,500 shots on a single charge. An optional battery pack that uses six AA batteries will extend the camera’s life a great deal longer.

The lens is a powerful 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 tool that features ED glass for a significant improvement in contrast of the images.

Equivalent to a 27-105mm lens in 35mm format, this Nikon D200 lens covers the most popular of focal ranges. It is a versatile lens that consumers enjoy using for a variety of photographic projects (from portrait to action shots).

Staying in line with its high-end competitors the Nikon D200 kit features PictBridge technology which allows you to print shots directly from a compatible printer without having to use your computer as a middle man.

A survey of several Nikon D200 review websites shows that consumers who were able to put down the nearly $2,000 for this Nikon D200 kit were beyond pleased with its performance.

A staggering 137 customers out of 155 gave this product a five star rating.
