Nikon D200 Full Review
Now at DPreview there is the complete review of the Nikon D200. When I look at the technical data and especially the measurements, Nikon has definitely landed a top device. In my opinion, this absolutely competes with the Canon devices. And when I also look at this cute macro from Nikon, it warms my heart - a 2.8 aperture, 150-degree angle of view with image stabilizer - that would definitely be something fine. Then, combined with the Zeiss lenses for Nikon F and the Katz Eye focusing screens (which do not change the displays in the viewfinder on the Nikon - unlike Canon cameras - and also do not cause a strong change in exposure measurement), this could almost mean photographic nirvana for me. Especially since the camera felt very good in my hand when I last held it at the photographer of least suspicion.
Ok, now I just have to figure out which lenses for the Nikon bayonet really have a usable bokeh - because what I have seen so far in the Nikon environment was not very convincing. Ok, the Zeiss lenses should be pretty great (I already have them for my Contax RTS III), but a few AF lenses would be nice. The macro would of course be at the top of the wish list, as I have learned to appreciate such a macro on my Canon (among other things because of the mercilessly good image quality compared to normal lenses).
In addition, I then have to find someone who buys my Canon equipment at an acceptable rate, or alternatively win the lottery or rob a bank ...
But it's strange, this is the first time a Nikon camera really triggers a "want to have" reflex - Nikon has never achieved that before, at most a "would be nice to have" effect was observable. And those who know me know that I hardly shy away from anything if the incentive is great enough.
