[ THE NIKON D200 so far... ]
The NIKON D200 is a remarkable camera, no doubt about it.
The test unit is supplied with the Nikkor 18~200mm VR lens which is proving sharp and fast to focus. The image stabilisation works well, allowing hand-held shots at 200mm at shutter speeds as slow as 1/20 sec.
The D200 is a perfect fit for the Nikon SB600 Speedlight flash, producing correctly exposed images every time with excellent tonal rendition bouncing the flash off ceilings and walls.
The best way to demonstrate the resolution of the lens and sensor is with an image and a cropped section. In the Gallery there is a full frame of this picture...
...and a crop from a section of the image. The photograph was taken hand-held with all functions set to default and Mode set to Aperture priority. Metering was Spot. Here is the EXIF. Note the shutter speed!

Just returned from China with some pictures taken with my new Canon iXUS 850IS. I am very pleased with the camera and I was hoping to be able to create a CD/DVD and throw it in the player to see the shots in the correct order. This is proving to be not so easy, any ideas?
