Hi Ike,

Sounds like it's time for the iTTL sync cord we've all been drooling over. Camera buttons can be used to control Flash Exposure Compensation.

Cheers

That iTTL sync cord would be sweet, and a very smart solution.

Now, speaking of D200, did you guys see this? It is going for $2,500 on ebay:

Amazing!

Too bad I was not smart enough. I could have picked up a couple of D200s 4 days ago and made some quick bucks on ebay for more Chirsmas gifts for myself

FYI, here is a link to a list of Sigma lenses that won't work with the AF button on the D200.

For those that can't wait to put their hands on the D200, or those that have it but want something more than the manual, Nikon has launched a very detailed D200 digital tutor. Here is the link:

Got my D200 Monday! From what I tried with it so far it seems like it's going to be a great camera. Headed for Palau in Feb. Think anyone will have a housing ready by then?

Rick,

You better beg Santa for that wish, because I don't think there will be any sort of volume of housings by them for sale to consumers . But stranger things have happened.

Have a nice smooth pro look to the pics what lenses? - No matter how good the body and megapixles the lens is still 70% at least I think so, would like to see a 250.00 lens pic and a 17-55 lens pic on the D200 or D2X.

I picked mine up just before Christmas and it's a lovely piece of kit. Will post more later. AF is a HUGE jump from D70s.

Ok, you asked for it, here you go. The photo attached was taken with the 17-55. I photographed the same thing under the same conditions with the cheap 24-50.

And here are the 100% crops with the two lenses. Do I need to say which is which?

D-200 camera installation is easy, but finding room to install the iTTL conversion circuitry with its push buttons and LEDs is proving to be a problem..........

Would just a cord to a bulkhead fit? Maybe you could just connect to a Nikonos bulkhead. I heard there was some maker developing a line of smart cords with converters built in, from Nikonos to some fairly decent strobes. Could be vaporware though, it's been a while since I heard of it.

The strobes were made by some company, I think the name starts with I, maybe Inon, I forget. I hope they keep it simple, no buttons or LEDs, because I get awful confused already with all them buttons and lights like the back of a semi truck.

It is Ikelite that is doing this, and this will be a possible solution. Look here:
