It should be worth it. SO long as you don't start eating cat-food.

I thought Nikon Broadway will give you one as your tittle of this thread.

Just went over to dPreview to take a look for some info/initial reviews of the D200.... WHAT A MESS!!!!

I can't wait for a nice REAL WORLD sample shot that doesn't come with the caption "Just a quick shot under bad light with my 300mm @ 1/5 handheld....could be a little soft"... And then the barage of replies bashing the camera.

I don't know why Nikon bothered to put ISO100 on the camera as people don't seem to be shooting below ISO1600!!... and what a surprise, there is NOISE in the picture.... WOAH.

Look forward to seeing your review :) (especially on the AF..hint hint :) )

Paul,
Relax!!!! you visited and brought and posted some links on this board from DPR! :wink:

Why would you bother with it (D200) while you're not ready to order it till June or July 06 as I remembered your says.

If it's true! then at that time frame, the D200 fever will retreat in its shell. :wink: If there's any problem, then it's time of 6 months for Nikon to address or act on those issues.

Now! just smile and shooting with your D70, nothing wrong with it.

You have a good memory Birdy. I won't be ready until at least June/July... but I still want to know :)

As for there being nothing wrong my my D70....well there is something wrong with it.... my girlfriend has stolen it for today and I'm left cameraless. :roll:

You're lucky if you get one this week.

I thought you went out for lunch and get it from Nikon Broadway.

Nikon only allocated less than 10% of the total of orders which Maxwell placed, and that figure covers all Australia & NewZealand.

Why did you go there for? I thought you go there for the D200 and brring it back.

So far I know, first shipment is 2-3 units / store.
I got two this morning but they're special deal for Taxpayer's funding :(
