A range of 27mm to 486mm and 13 fps is pretty impressive. I'm curious to see the image quality it produces.

I'm going on a Photo trip at the end of April and I'm trying to decided between buying a D200 or saving money and buying a wide-angle zoom (i.e. 18-35/18-70mm/17-50mm/17-70mm). Any suggestions?

It would probably help to state what you already have.

My advice to you:

- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.

Oh right, forgot about that. I don't really have much right now. I sold my D50 a while back to try a Canon 20D but I sold that as well and right now I'm borrowing my dad's D50/18-55. I have a 70-300mm VR right now and a few good AI lenses but obviously those don't meter with the D50 so it makes them nearly useless. Right now my options are buy glass and borrow the body till I leave for college than buy a new body, or buy the body now and use the glass I have or have access to. The D200 prices are great right now but I can still get a D50/SB-600/Tamron 17-50 combo for the same amount so I'm not really sure what I should do. I like the D50 but it does have it's limitations and the D200 would also let me use my AI glass, so right now I'm leaning towards the D200.

If I have access to a body, I'd buy my own glass first before I get the body. Unless I can find a D200 at ridiculously cheap price.

The thing I like about the D200 is that I can use my 35 f1.4, 50 f/1.4, and 135 f/2.8 AI glass so it would save me some money in that respect. I have a chance at getting a D50 for $300 though, do you think I should take it or still just wait and pick up glass right now?

That's a choice only you can decide.

Yeah I guess so. Out of curiosity, what's a good price on a D200 these days?
