I really am impressed with the colour coming from this D200.This Mallard is so far the the sharpest capture of an in flight for me. Below is the crop, an dthen the original. D200 VR 70-200 F.2.8 Focal Length 200mm 1/1000 sec - F 4.5 AF-C 200 ISO There was a bit of shadow darkening for the background in top one.

yeah yeah more ducks..

This one was just resized.A wood duck.

That's beautiful :) Can you change the amount of saturnation too?

I want one of these..no, not the duck even if lovely..D200. Thanks on the report.

In a word -- WOW! Stellar images with punchy color and crisp detail. I am very impressed Doug!

Stunning captures Doug! Looks like the bird in the first image has swallowed a fishing hook with a bit of line too. poor creature

v impressed - 2 of my friends are getting D200s - I will have to figure out a way of borrowing their cameras - lol

MR Ducks!

Yes- The D200 is amazing. I recently had the opportunity to "test drive" one and was impressed at the quality and the speed. The camera is a hot commodity as we sell them as fast (or faster) as we receive them. But its also who is behind that camera that can make a difference- one has to know how to use it to maximize the potential of the camera- great shots!

(Decyphering....
"Them Are Ducks
Them Are Not
Yes They Are.... See Them Itty Bitty Eyes?
Well I Be
Them Are Ducks!")

I have a call in for one..not a duck but the cam. Wait..wait, wait, wait some more!

Sweet shots!...you are pushing me ever closer to the edge....any closer and I'll be $2000 poorer....must get D200, must get D200!...LOL!

I was also surprised to see how the lens burned through the tall reeds in this one.

This Redwing Blackbird is a fine shot...not one of the more commonly photographed birds. Did you get the "kit" or just the body? I checked out the lens you used...yikes($$) but apparently a fine one. I wonder how well the "kit" lens does, not an f/2.8 and not the top of the line but apparently decent? Anyone know?

wow such a colourful duck...but that black one I like much more !!!! What kind of bird is that?

OMG! These are fantastic! If only I had some money to spend....daydreaming What beautiful shots you have. I do love that little redwinged blackbird. Very professional-looking. I must find a way to get a better cam than what I have. sigh I can't wait to see more from your new cam!! sitting here....green with envy heh heh :)

What lens are you using for these D? I tried some flying shots, boy do I suck!
