Always enjoy questions like this as it prompts me to take a fresh look at the options. Must admit that as someone who's very much into macro, I'd definitely be very tempted by the S5 Pro over the D200. But then I take outside shots (rarely indoor/studio) and that extra dynamic range combined with excellent high ISO and low noise would mean me attempting more shots in harsh sun or in dull light, so often the bane of my pics. If the resulting shot looks good, I'll happily forego extra resolving power (as I've done for years already with the Sigma SD10 - which gives me good dynamic range). But whether I'd take the S5 over the D300........
