The Nikon D200 is a hugely popular digital SLR camera that puts terrific power into the user’s hands. But the instrument’s sheer complexity can also leave them feeling bewildered and frustrated. This hands-on guide strips down the model’s immense and at times dazzling specification into logical and understandable chunks, enabling photographers to get the most from their camera in every situation. Subjects covered include a complete and detailed description of functions and features, a comprehensive review of lenses and accessories, advice on camera care, tips on using the D200 with a Mac or PC, and professional tips for close-up and macro photography.
I got the D200 almost eight years ago, at the recommendation of a friend who, like me, had been serious about photography in the days of darkrooms. In eight years, I never learned how to properly use it. I finally took a course a couple of weeks ago, and then read through this book. It really clarified things, and I learned that my old lenses would still work on this camera, with a few settings (not true of all Nikons). I am anxious for some photography afternoons. This is a good, clear, concise explanation and the book is a good size to carry around, important for a camera manual!
