Nikon D200
2 of 2 found this helpful I have been a film camera buff and have only used point-and-shoot digital cameras until my purchase of a D200. My film cameras are Mamiya Medium-Format 6X7's (2), and Two Nikon F5's and a Nikon F100. I have a lot of nice lenses, and just did not want to spend $ 5K for a digital to emulate the quality and performance of my F5. I deliberately waited for the launch of the D300 and D700 models, as I figured the D200 prices would drop, with the D200 being a camera capable of providing a base-level of acceptable performance for me.
I have now had the camera for the better part of two weeks, and am very pleased with the shutter response, battery life, and quality of the pictures. As with any camera, it is more the skill of the photographer than the cost or model of his equipment - and the D200 is equal to 95% of just about anything anyone would conceivably want to do with a camera. I don't believe the resolution capable of great enlargements, but know, too, that I enlarged an 35 MM ISO 400 B&W photo to 20" X 24" with spectacular results - well beyond what that film speed is purported to support in size, but without the graininess that would supposedly accompany it.
Having said that, if you're an amateur or serious hobbyist, take advantage of the price differential on D200's, and ask yourself if you really need to shell out an extra $ 800 -or - $ 900 for a D300 at this time. I'm more than happy, and I've really tortured this camera and used in in diverse applications in the couple of weeks I have had it, intending to either conclude I was satisfied with the purchase, or cut my losses early, and re-list it on EBay.
My conclusion: It's a keeper, hands-down.

Great value, outstanding performance for the money
Much better than I expected. Sound and microphone are crisp and clear, sound quality very good, approaching excellent.

Would I buy again?
This product does not contain petroleum distillates - unlike most beeswax products - and I ordered it for that reason. It is a mixture of beeswax, color (I ordered brown; natural is available), and turpentine (natural product from pine trees; distilled in the formulation of this product).
It is thinner than I thought it would be; does not appear to have a very high wax content. The brown color beeswax that I purchased did darken the wood, however, there really wasn't a wax residue to buff off. Overall, the outcome was good, however, I did not feel it left the wood "protected", rather, that it worked more as a polish than a wax...polish being what it was advertised as. I used the product on some pretty dry and discolored solid-wood furniture - furniture in a house we have in Thailand, which was a natural, unstained/untreated brown color when we purchased it, and, roughly 1 year later, a grayish-brown color. This product restored the color, and to be fair, the wood absorbed the polish near-immediately. My sense is, another coat will be required soon, and perhaps at that time, their will be a waxy residue to buff off.
I did order some of this product for our house in Phoenix, Arizona, too, and perhaps will update once I have applied to the furniture in that home. I have also ordered Daddy Van's All Natural Unscented Beeswax Furniture Polish Non-Toxic Odorless Wood Wax, and will compare/contrast this product with Daddy Van's.
Though I have ordered, and will try, alternate, natural, products, I do so in order to find the optimal product for what I have in mind - a higher proportion of wax, and a wax finish I can buff out. Would I buy this product again? Right now, the best I can say is, "probably". It did a great job, is a little pricey, but left a great finish on the solid wood furniture I used it on, and does not have a strong odor to it. Just know you are purchasing a polish with some beeswax in it; it is a polish, not a wax! Pictures show before and after of kitchen table, rocking chair, armoire; I used 4 jars (283 grams each) to do the inside and outside, front/back, sides of 8 kitchen table chairs, an 8 foot long kitchen table, 4 armoire's, and 1 rocking chair.
