Yeah it's a pretty frickin' good deal.

Yea, I think I'd take that over a D80.

Please tell me that you bought it straight away. If not maybe I can buy it. I'm not sure if he was high on acid but $750 for a barely used D200 is a frickin steal you should go to jail. 1,500 shutter is like a 4-5 days shooting for me.

The best bokeh of any Nikkor I have had is the 105mm macro. I almost never use it these days, as the 18-200 never seems to come off.
I've been into night shots lately:

^Both from 18-200? Is the first shot hand painted with an LED light? Nonetheless, both are fantastic.

Yes, both are taken with the 18-200VR, shot from a tripod. That first shot was me with my led headlamp doing some light painting.

I'm going to start watching for D200 deals. I love the D80, but the weather sealing would open up some possibilities.

No
I don't really *need* the upgrade at the moment and i have few big purchases coming up. Only reason why i was considering was because it seemed like a really good deal. Still 1.5 years warranty left on it too.

I talked to him for a while when he was showing me his D200. Seemed like a really nice guy. He's upgrading to D300 or D3 but he's not in a hurry to sell since it's winter and he doesn't go outside too much to take pics. Only reason why he's selling it cheaper is because it's through work.

*sigh* what to do...

How does transfer of ownership work with Nikon?

Wtf? I thought they were screenshots taken from the Warcraft series of games LOL. Something about the trees and colours..

It definitely does look like something right out of a blizzard game.
