Yesterday Phil Askey of DPReview posted a Nikon D200 Hands-On Preview.

Today, we have another, this time from LetsGoDigital.org in their article entitled- Nikon D200 D-SLR Digital Camera Preview. What do they say about in the short time they’ve had to look it over?

“Well what can I say.? I am enthusiastic… maybe this is not the right word,; I am excited is putting it more clearly and it expresses better the way I feel. Excited because I believe the Nikon D200 is just the right product for all Nikon fans waiting out there. Ok you could argue about the fact that it took Nikon this long to anticipate to the fast changing market, but hey.. it’s here now! I am sure that Nikon D100 users, myself included will react positively to this introduction and will upgrade to this new platform where Pro meets Entry-level… bridging the gap! I also see the D200 function as a 2nd body for Professionals using the advantages of the DX standard. The D200 has it all, I believe we are looking at an all-round D-SLR tagged with a very interesting price”

The Nikon D200 has a new autofocus sensor module called the CAM-1000 which has 1000 pixels CCD and 11 focus sensor with (7 in the wide mode) which provides wider focus capabilities than modules like the 5 focus sensor CAM900 (900 pixel) used in the D50, D70, D70s and the D100. Everyone is expecting the new autofocus sensor to be great and one thing for certain is that it is based on the excellent CAM-2000 used in the D2X.
