UWphotoNewbie 1 Posted October 29, 2005 Well ok the metal body doesn't help underwater. But some who are interested in pole cams or certain housing designs would like to see a wired release. I would like a wired release and mirror lock-up for long range wildlife photography--but I will live without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthp 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Looks like the viewfinder will be significantly bigger than the D70 which will make it nice UW... And also looks pretty sweet with a 17-55 on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocha 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Nice photos, the first time I see these. It really seems that the viewfinder is a big improvement over the D70, but it looks too small behind the 17-55! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted October 30, 2005 That makes me think that the AF is different to the D2X. Sorry I now see this point has already come up. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertEagle 2 Posted October 31, 2005 The official announcement should be tomorrow Oct 31. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthp 0 Posted October 31, 2005 I thought the consensus was for a November 1 announcement. I guess we'll just have to wait and see... Howz that head Alex? Is that the reason you caught the AF differences a little on the late side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthp 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Here we go again... More leaks, this time from Nital (Nikon's distributer in Italy). Perhaps someone with better Italian can nut out some of the details. Here is a link to a Google Translation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthp 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Looks like the viewfinder is 0.94x and 95% - which is a fair bit nicer than the D70 (0.75x). I think the D2X is actually 0.86x, but 100%. Not sure how this will affect the usability. Also the AF has 11 areas with 7 "wide area" sensors. Not sure whether they are cross or T-type sensors. Anyone able to translate better than me? I think the D200 has the same AF modes as the D2X and therefore should let you group sensors. Also appears to have optional support for wifi and GPS and in-camera black and white (fancy!)

timrock 1 Posted October 31, 2005 I would like to see just how they make the 11 sensors work. If they are anything like Canon's, they will be more a pain than pleasure unless you can quickly select the definitive area, like you can now with the current models.

Rocha 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Here is a mirror link to the official Italian press release: http://fradlis.com/leak200.htm Specs not posted before: ISO 100-1600 Dimensions: 147 x 113 x 74 mm, 830g. Flash sync speed 1/250. They also mention Nikon Capture 4 (version 4.4) in the release. The current version of NC is 4.3.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current version of NC is 4.3.2 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In those specs you'll find reference to a CAM 1000 AF module. This is a little bit of a letdown for me since I was hoping the D200 would have the CAM 2000 or at least the CAM 1300. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the performance is.

james 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Hi Larry, Yes, it is CAM1000 with one cross type sensor and 10 line sensors. The sensor coverage will be 1/2 as much as with the D2x. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocha 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Official 24 page PDFs loaded with sample photos are available from the following FTP address: ftp://lwlRlgWr:uGfaVnBW@ftp.nikon-euro.co...24pg_FINAL_PDF/ Nothing new, just confirmation of the previously posted specs, but it is nice to see the samples (even in the PDF). P.S.: Sorry, no english PDF! The final two letters of the file indicate language. For example, D200_24pg_FINAL_ES.pdf is for the PDF in Spanish with sample photos taken in Argentina. I don't know if the other PDFs have different samples, my connection is too slow and the PDFs are 4mb! I have the feeling that we will see an official announcement in the next 24 hours.

pmooney 6 Posted November 1, 2005 Pure speculatiion - it will be interesting to see how quick housings get to market given the very similar dimensions ?? D200 147 x 113 x 74 D100 144 x 116 x 80.5 D70 140 x 111 x 78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthp 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Nice work on the dimensions Peter. I hadn't realised it was such a little fella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssra30 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Well, it is November 1st mid day in Japan already and I have not seen anything much posted yet. But I guess I am off the hook now as far as not saying anything much about the camera. I don't really have much else to add since most of the important specs are pretty much covered already. One nifty feature that has not yet been mentioned is the battery level. With D200, you can get the readout in % of battery power so you get much more precised reading than the usual 4-5 bars diagram. Price in Thailand is expected to be around $us 2500. When D70 first came out, it was a couple of hundreds dollars more expensive in Thailand than in the US. D2X price was the same so I imagine the price to be in the low $us2000 in the US. 18-200DX VR is around $750. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthp 0 Posted November 1, 2005 [snip] I imagine the price to be in the low $us2000 in the US. 18-200DX VR is around $750. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I though the price in the US was supposed to be $1699? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssra30 0 Posted November 1, 2005 I am not sure, but $US2500 was the estimate I was given by Niks Thailand, the local distributer here but it was not yet finalized. If it is $1700 in the US, I will definitely have a chat with my friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
