Hi Gradient,
Yes I was thinking that there must be a "new" D200 or whtever they will call it coming soon.
What price it will be is another matter as Nikon seem to be producing a lot of lower end of the market cameras,totally no disrespect to any of them but the D200 seems to be the only stop gap between the upper end and cameras like the D40 or whatever.
"Everyone will be happy" -  as John Wayne continually said in one film
"That'll be the day" :-)
Good advice though and thanks But as my old dad used to say 
"He'll never have any sence as long as his arse points downwards"

In youth we learn...with age some of us never grow up
