Finally a Result

Raymo · 07-09-2006, 21:55

Well chaps thats it, ordered my D200 today with 35-70 f2.8 & 80-200 f2.8 but I must admit I was getting a little sick & tired of looking at the options,

it was driving me insane

so I made the choice and went for it, I just hope its what I want ( I think it will be

) I now wait in anticipation of its arrival, will keep you informed

I'm not the slightest bit envious.

Yep, only need to know where the power button and shutter release are, everything else is just candyfloss

Oh just to let you all know assuming the D80 is the same layout roughly as a D200 I now know what the 3rd button on the front is (was asked inother pst that I can find now), Its a function button don't laugh it is from what I understand it act like a shift key on a keyboard and allows more that one function from one key, I spose in theory it doubles the amount of buttons available on the camera.

I'm sure Raymo can confirm this Very soon

Rob Barron · 08-09-2006, 16:39

Nah, should gone for a Canon

***Dave*** · 08-09-2006, 18:34

Ah, but now he won't have to paint his lenses back to black though

Raymo · 19-10-2006, 12:41

Hi peops, Sorry bin so long in getting back but the D200 bible takes a bit of reading

First of all I'm really chuffed with the kit, its all I expected and some also the lenses really do it justice

Also just to confirm In1977's thread of the third button, you can assign the button to do a multitude of tasks if combined with the main/sub com buttons. I've also bit out and about snapping away and doing the practical side of getting to know the camera, I'am just about to load some piccies on the shared photo's part of the site, if I can work it out

ln1977 · 19-10-2006, 20:52

I want one
