I’ve had my eye glued to the viewfinder of my D200 to a degree that friends assume I’ve had an incident with a bottle of superglue. The short story is that the results have been great (considering the mug using the camera) and I simply love this camera to bits.
I’ve found it exceedingly easy to use, very responsive and relatively simple to set up to my tastes once I got my head around the intricacies of all the available menu options.
Being keen to keep this mint camera looking as new for as long as possible, I eventually managed to get some Camera Armor – after working through (and losing) three Trade Me auctions, I got miffed and just bought a D200 set at the buy now price and I’m pretty chuffed with it. I already had an LCD protector on the camera and had no intention of using the hideously ugly lens protector, so I really only wanted the body armor.
The armor adds a fair amount of bulk to the body, especially around the grip. It’s manageable for my hands but anyone with small hands need not apply, regardless of how much they want to protect their beloved camera.
Here are some recent shots taken with the D200:
