The Nikon D200 is the perfect camera for the semi-professional and freelancer who want an affordable SLR that integrates the right portion of diversity quality and reliability of Nikon’s professional high-end models. The D200 Kit includes the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED lens optically designed for use with Nikon digital SLR sensors.

I see CameraLabs.com have posted their Nikon D200 Digital Camera Review

There’s very little to fault about the Nikon D200. It’s very robust, has great ergonomics and a wide array of features, while handling superbly and delivering excellent image quality. In use it performed very well and we struggled to find any downsides to list at the end of the verdict - indeed we felt almost churlish criticising Nikon for the way it zooms-in on images during playback, although it has to be said, simple zoom in and out buttons really are much more intuitive.
…
Ultimately until the market responds, Nikon has delivered the best mid-range digital SLR yet, boasting professional quality at a highly affordable price point. It’ll appeal equally to those wanting a step-up from a budget model as it will to Pros wanting a backup body. Indeed we wouldn’t be at all surprised to find many Professionals using D200 as their primary body, and that’s high recommendation for a camera at this price.
