Vol. 17: Photography — Transitioning to Semi-Pro Using the Nikon D200

Description

The designers at Nikon in 2004-05 were looking for a way to
reach the semi-pro photographer. The semi-pro is someone
who has another job but shoots photos Ñ often at weddings Ñ
as a part-time job. TheyÕre sometimes called weekend warriors.
They tend to be serious and dedicated, but they had no need
for the pro digital single-lens reflex behemoths like the
Canon EOS IDX Mark II or the Nikon D5.
What they needed then and now is a DSLR camera that is
built strong, is always reliable and can handle their workload.
That led to the first true semi-pro camera from the company,
the Nikon D200.
The D200 may have been overshadowed by its successor, the
Nikon D300, but itÕs still a great camera. A great camera that
can be had relatively cheaply, and that makes it an even better
camera.
