So happy that I bought this camera!.......2007-07-03

I really didn't think that I wanted to spend this much money on a digital camera. I'm just an amateur who enjoys photography. I tried the Digital Rebel, Olympus E-500, Nikon D-50 and D-40: these were all fine cameras, but they still seemed lacking to me. I thought that the Canon EOS-30D was terrific with it's 5fps, build quality, and numerous options, but the price was still too steep. After mulling it over long and hard, I decided to spend even more money and get the D200. This is a camera that I won't feel is lacking for a very long time. It's at the sweet spot of the price/performance curve: after this point, I think that diminishing returns begin unless you're a professional who relies on their camera for a living. I am most impressed with the exposure meter and the LCD review screen: it seems to get exposures correct much more often than the other cameras that I've tried. I spent a lot of time changing settings on the other cameras to get the right exposure, but the D200 gets it right most of the time in Programmed Auto! The LCD screen accurately shows the picture that was taken; whereas, the other cameras' screens would show different results than would ultimately appear on my monitor or in print. One more great feature that the Canon EOS-30D didn't have is Auto ISO: this is awesome, and it works great!

The quality of this camera makes me "feel" like a better photographer: it inspires confidence. I love this camera.

Nikon D200 Review.......2007-06-27

Camera has many features that make it quick to set up and shoot. Most used functions are available via external switch with no need to drill down through menus. You may not want to wear this camera around you neck, it is a bit on the heavy side. It is easy to see the complete viewfinder while wearing glasses. Manual mode is simple to use and the exposure adjustment is visible through the viewfinder just like a 35mm SLR. Full program [auto] mode works very well. I am overall, very pleased with this camera.

Nikon D-200.......2007-06-27

This is a great camera. You will not regret purchasing this camera because it does so much. If you have lenses from a Nikon "D" film camera they will work fine with this camera and will not be wasted because you are not using your film camera anymore.

Well worth the money.......2007-06-20

I'm still figuring out a lot of the functions, but damn this camera takes really good pictures. The high-speed continuous shooting feature is amazing.

My only complaint is that it's a bit heavy ... prob standard for all cameras like this, but when you're moving from one of those typical compact little digital cameras to this, it's a big jump!

D200 Nikon.......2007-06-09

This is a great camera for both amateur and pro alike. The only fault I have found with it is the location of the AF-on button. It is located where you would normally place your thumb when holding the camera grip with the right hand. I have accidentally pressed this button several times turning on and off the auto focus. As you can imagine when your panning with autofocus on then suddenly the auto focus is off may cause you to miss your shot. I'll learn, but it hasn't been easy when trying to concentrate on the subjects, panning from one position to another. If you have been a 35 mm Nikon owner, you'll love the interchangablitily of the lenses. With the 1.6:1 ration between the non-digital and digital lenses you have in effect have the opportunity to gain some very high power photos. As an example, I have a couple of lenses (70mm-200mm zoom, and fixed 300mm lens. They now have an effective range of (112-320mm, and 480mm. I still wouldn't toss the 35mm. There is still a lot to be said for film, with very little danger of the major manufacutes of film products discontinuing film production. There are still hundreds of millions of film shooters left when you consider the world market. But is sure is great to have the digital camera to confirm a good shot. I have even used the camera to verify the setting on my 35mm. Nikon D200 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

Perfect Flash for the D40.......2007-06-25

This flash attachment was made for the Nikon D40 and pairs with it perfectly. Its small and compact and works great. Great for indoor shots and fill flash. Some other angle choices would be nice, but all in all, this is a great flash.

Excellent product . Amazingly small and light........2007-06-22

Although it's only twice as powerful as the built-in flash on the D40, and even though I probably won't use it that much, the ability to bounce flash with this will be invaluable for indoor shots, especially family gatherings and kids (if I ever have any). It's so small and light that I just carry it everywhere, even if I most likely won't use it. This is a truly practical product. Great work Nikon!

Finally !!! A flash that doesn't require you to read the manual and have a PHD........2007-06-13

This is a gem of a unit. My previous flash was a 580 EX on a Canon Xti body. It had so many buttons that my head would spin and I could never get the settings quite right. The SB-400 is definitely plug and play. Snap it in, turn it on, and shoot. I use it with my D200 and it doesn't add much weight. Build quality is also top notch and it comes with a nice carrying case. The abiliy to bounce the flash is the frosting on the cake.

Fast and furious.......2007-06-12

The SB-400 Speedlight offered by Nikon turns out to be an excellent accessory for "snapshot" photography on many of Nikons digital cameras. I use a D200 with an SB600 flash normally but finding the 400 series is far lighter and has enough power for relaxed shooting such as gatherings.

While its not the most powerful flash nor has the SB600 and SB800's arsenol of features its a nice blend of minimal features and includes a built in bounce. - I use this quite often with pleasing results.

The SB 400 does what the built in flash of my D200 should have done and failed. The built in flash not only is weak but does not clear my most used lenses (thus throws a shadow on the image where the lens blocked the flash POV). The SB 400 clears my most used lenses (ultra wide zoom and wide to tele zoom).

A nice accessory to the flash would be a 1-2 inch spacer between the camera and the flash itself for even better shooting and minimalizing red eye when not shooting in red eye mode.

All in all, very pleased with this purchase other than being a bit over priced.

Perfect exposure, plenty of lumens; light and small.......2007-06-10

This is a great little flash unit, particularly for the low price and small size.

I expected it to be a little underpowered, but I haven't noticed any lack. I use the unit mostly for bounce flash off ceilings and walls, and occasionally with a forward facing bounce card. The exposure is perfect every time with my Nikon D40, and it's so small I just leave it on the camera all the time.

The extra battery power also means I can crank off several shots in a row without having to wait for the capacitor to recharge.

Highly recommended, unless you need some of the higher-end features.

Pros:
Inexpensive
Light
Small
Great exposures
Uses AA batteries

Cons:
Head doesn't swivel left and right
Lacks remote-triggering

camera bag.......2007-06-27

This is one great camera bag, Holds my camera and lens and a few extras.

beginner's bag.. but hazardous!.......2007-05-30

I got this camera bag as part of a nikon kit with an N75 camera a couple years ago. As a beginner-amateur, this bag served my purposes quite well till recently -- i carry my nikon n75 with its lens attached in the main compartment, a 70-300mm G lens positioned face down in one of the velcro divisions, my Coolpix 4100 in another of those divisions, plus either a few filters or the charger for my Coolpix's batteries in another division. The netting under the cover carries 8-9 rolls of film for me. The front zipper is useful to carry spare batteries, lens cleaning cloth, etc.

Quite spacious, in other words, as long as you only have 2-3 lenses, and none of them are very long.

EXCEPT:

i recently broke my 70-300mm zoom, and i partly blame the bag. You see, unless you're seeing the bag from the front, you can't easily make out whether the bag is locked or not. And this time, I just happened to pick up the bag quickly, without realising it wasn't locked, with the result that the camera in it fell face down on the stone steps below, thus killing my zoom lens. The bag needs to be designed better to prevent this.. the center of gravity should be located so as to prevent the bag from tipping over easily and/or maybe straps or something should be provided on the inside to hold the camera and lenses more snugly and prevent them falling out.

i think i'm going to buy myself a backpack-style bag now. which would also be better from the security viewpoint -- you don't always want to advertise you're carrying around multi-thousand dollar equipment on your shoulders.

You'll never know until you see it!.......2007-05-27

I bought this at $35 from another seller from amazon. If you have a budget for an SLR bag at this price range then it might be worth it to consider this product BUT don't expect much with its looks and style. Here are some decriptions:
1.Size-(12x8x8)bulky but spacious for beginner's kit.
2.Style-looks like a regular bag (nothing special about it)
3.Material:
-Nylon fabric looks durable
-"NIKON" leather emblem looks like a knock off from Chinatown (this is the downside that makes the whole bag looks cheap)
-Shoulder strap "looks" flimsy .

Just Right.......2007-05-24

I find this Nikon Gadget Camera Bag perfect for my use. I wanted a bag that could hold what I would need while in the field, something that was not too big, nor so small that I had to leave something behind. The Nikon Gadget Camera Bag has Velcro adjustable compartments for storing your extras, a flash unit or extra lens' a zipper compartment on the inside lid of the bag as well as the front for filters or pen and paper. When closed you can feel secure by the four quick release clasps, two on the front two on the side. The only time I secure the ones on the side is when I feel the need for extra security. The bag is well made, I could not ask for more, at least that is my opinion.

Weak tripod.......2007-06-02

At first, I was pretty excited about receiving this tripod. At first glance, it seems to be a great product for its price -- the legs seem sturdy, it's got a convenient accessory hook and a useful carrying handle, plus it came with its own carrying case and built-in bubble levels!
The problem with the tripod, I think, is that it's poorly constructed, or at least it's made out of cheap material. There are a lot of weak plastic parts that seem like they would break easily with moderate use. At first, I chose to ignore these flaws considering the low price (mostly, I was worried the frail snaps on the legs would break), but on my third photoshoot, the vertical adjustment knob died on me.
I was using a wireless remote shutter (which is to say that I wasn't even touching the tripod) and suddenly, my camera swung down and my zoom lens crashed back into the tripod. Luckily, nothing broke, but I was still pretty worried. After checking to make sure that it wasn't my fault (maybe I didn't tighten it properly?), I realized that the vertical adjustment knob was completely busted -- no matter how much I tried to tighten it, it stayed loose. I removed it completely and found broken bits of plastic threading, which could only mean that I'd have to get the tripod replaced -- it should have been made out of metal.
But even assuming that my particular tripod was defective to begin with, this is not a great tripod to purchase in general. The weak plastic parts are always a concern, even if the vertical knob doesn't break like mine did (besides the plastic snaps, the crank handle and accessory hook are also plastic).
In terms of convenience, although it's great to have a tripod tall enough (70" is GREAT if you're looking for a taller tripod), it's pretty inconveniently bulky when collapsed to its minimum length -- but I suppose that's a necessary compromise for having a taller tripod. The built in bubble levels are useful too, unless you're vertically orienting your camera -- then, there is no bubble level for that orientation, so it's hard to be sure your horizon is properly aligned (unless you have one of those fancy $70+ photography hotshoe bubble levels. Or unless you just never turn your camera and take pictures vertically on this tripod.).
There's also a detachable plate which makes switching from handheld shots to tripod shots really quick and easy (which I love). Technically speaking, I suppose that's just another movable part that may promote vibrations that keep your pictures from looking tack sharp, but for its convenience, it is more than forgivable.
Aesthetically speaking, the tripod is a bit disappointing. Those dull plastic parts look really tacky, although they make the tripod relatively lightweight.
Finally, the name "Professional" photo/video tripod is a misnomer. Although I am an amateur/enthusiast myself, I highly doubt any professional would use this tripod instead of a good ballhead tripod. In my opinion, (and in retrospect) the convenience of a ballhead tripod make even the most inexpensive ballhead tripod worth it (but be prepared to pay at least 4 times more for one than for a tripod like this one). Plus, with a ballhead tripod, you'll at least LOOK more like a professional photographer, even if you don't know what you're doing :)
Overall, I would not recommend buying this tripod. Instead, do yourself a favor -- buy a ballhead. I'd suggest anything by Bogen/Manfrotto for starters. Hope this helps!

eeeeeeeeeeesh.......2007-05-18

I give this 2 star because it's cheap and it kinda works. This Tripod is light but its cheaply made. The leg locks are made out of hard plastic, you usually find this material in products from the 99 cents store, that look like it could brake on the 3rd or 4th use. I'm surprised this tripod is not 99 cents. It is pretty cheap for the size and what it is. I recommend it for your: "Disney Pix-Click Digital Camera"Disney - Pirates of the Caribbean Pix-Click Digital Camera

Great Tripod for the Price.......2007-05-18

This tripod is much higher quality than I expected. It is sturdy and easy to handle. I was suprised to find this quality at this price.

It's Okay.......2007-05-13

I'm not a professional or anything, but I think this tripod is pretty okay. The side to side pan lock broke within minutes of opening it and the free bag that came along with it also snapped on the straps as I was carrying it to film something. Otherwise, this tripod is pretty good and definitely a good buy to take on hiking trips and other projects. It's light and it definitely can go up really high! Very useful for that. I like it.

Excellent Considering the Price.......2007-05-07

Of course, this tripod cannot compare to a Bogen or Manfroto, but it is fantastic for the price with lots of settings and adjustments. It is light and comes with a carry case... a great deal.

Nice touch on the shoulder strap with the ergonomic cutout to fit around the neck and help with staying put on your shoulder.
Excellent buy,
Thanks, Amazon, once again,

Cheap but rules! Perfect holster for a 2-bag solution ..........2007-07-02

I fretted over finding "the perfect camera bag" for too long. With this sucker being $10, I decided "what the heck" and tried it. It is an outstanding value at $10, and it sold me on the idea of using a 2-bag solution -- one for the camera with a default lens mounted and one for the rest of my lenses. I cannot recommending such a combination enough. I have a Pentax K100D and my default lens is a Pentax AF 28-105mm f/4.0-5.6. I keep my DA 18-55mm f/3.6-5.6, DA 50-200mm f/4.0-5.6 and Zenitar FE 16mm f/2.8 in my separate lens bag (although all of those lenses will fit on the camera in the holster).

The front area is great for temporarily storing caps, filters, etc... The top handle is nice, as is the strap -- nice to have both. Although it can go on a belt, it's just too big to sit with it on such. It also looks like that belt loops would eventually give way under the strain. I also agree with another poster than not having a camera brand name splattered all over it draws less attention to the bag, which is a bonus. If you absolutely have to sport your camera brand name, just leave the camera straps themselves danging out or wrapped around the top handle (which I do myself, to make it easier to pull out).

If you have a full frame or large lens, then this may not be big enough. Just FYI. You need to be using a more modern, more compact dSLR and its lenses. While it does fit my APS-C sensor sized (24mm x 16mm) Pentax K100D plus full-frame-sized (standard 35mm compatible) Pentax AF 28-105mm f/4.0-5.6, it won't fit much bigger.

Great fit!.......2007-06-30

My Fujifilm S9000 fits great in this bag. It doesn't have a lot of extra storage space, but has a couple of small pockets that are large enough to hold extra memory cards. I had looked at the custom case that Fuji sells, but it was almost $40. This bag is just as good for about 1/4th of the price

good fit.......2007-06-27

It fits my Canon Digital Rebel XTi with its lens perfectly. Well padded. Convenient adjustable shoulder strap.

Good Case for the price, but it's not the Best........2007-06-19

For the price this is the best, but I wish it has velcro for the cover. Zipper is not a good idea. Also you have to use the bags strap and put the cameras strap in to the bag, so it's eating some space.
My Canon rebel XTI and Tamron 17-50 MM lens fits perfectly but without the hood.
Other then that build quality is great. it's good for carrying your camera while traveling, but if you like to walk around, forget about it.
if you are using belt (I don't) you can attach it to your belt, and maybe that way you can use it as walk around case but you should hold your breath like a frog.

Great case for $10.......2007-06-06

This is another rare steal on Amazon. $10 for a well made holster bag is almost to good to be true. I have one for my Canon XTi and my wife has one for her nikon D80. I do not agree with the review from the poster below. The title clearly states the case is a short holster bag. Short = small lens.

Super Deal.......2007-03-18

With out a doubt this product is excellent and the quality is outstanding. I would recommend it for anyone who is in need of a monopod.

Can also be used as a perfect walking aid.

Handy digital camera accessory.......2007-03-09

This mono-pod is a handy accessory that is easy to bring along for the ride - it doesn't take much space and helps steady the camera for slow shutter speed shots.

Cheap is expensive.......2007-02-25

This is an excellent quality monopod, but without a tilt-swivel head (and it doesn't come with one) it is at least useless. However at 35 dollars for the head plus 15 for the monopod plus S+H you already can buy a KODAK tripod with panning head, which has the middle part which can be extracted and used as a monopod, and have best of two worlds.

Again - excellent quality product, but there is absolutely no reason to buy it, unless you have a spare tilt-swivel head.

Very nice fore the price.......2007-02-17

This device is well made and a good value for the price. It does not have a ball mount, but for this money what can you expect.

This is a must have if you own a D-SLR.......2007-05-26

I was first worried about build up or streaking on the sensor. So I was hesitant and then I was worried about hurting my precious 30D in the process. Needless to say I didn't need to worry about either.

This product is really easy to use and the instructions are complete leaving nothing to wonder about.

I do have to say even if you use a sensor brush as I do you will come to a point (or) a piece of sticky dust that just wont come off.

This kit got it and now it is clean back to perfect! I didn't hurt my sensor there is not streaking or build up.

I will still use my sensor cleaning painters brush but when it needs a deep cleaning you really can't beat this product!

Great little Kit.......2007-05-09

This kit is really useful and packaged together well with directions! They even threw in some candies. The delivery was really quick!

Excellent value for an essential part of your DSLR kit.......2006-09-15

Your first purchase after buying a DSLR should be a cleaning kit. The cost is relatively low and it might seem like an unnecessary component if the DSLR has anti-dust features but it is an essential part of your kit. I wish I had spent the small sum of money right after I brought my Pentax *ist DL rather than waiting in agony for a number of days for the cleaning kit to arrive (Micro-Tools did ship it very quickly).

The reason you should buy one of these kits is that every DSLR is going to eventually need to be cleaned. Even those that have anti-dust features still cannot completely eliminate dust on the sensor and in the sensor cavity. A kit like this is essential because the blower has a filter on the intake so that you do not blow more dust into the body. I tried using a can of compressed air but it did not work properly, the high temperature changes it creates can be dangerous, and bursts of fluid can come out and hit the sensor. Thankfully, even though I made the sensor much dirtier trying these alternative methods I was able to clean it back to 100% with this kit. The included instructions were precise and to the point. The kit has enough supplies to be used for hundreds of cleanings (remember, quite often all you'll need to do is blow off the sensor with the rocket).

In short, this kit is an excellent value that includes everything you need to maintain your DSLR sensor. The pads and fluid also work well for cleaning lenses. This might sound like an over board review but it rescued me after trying alternative cleaning methods. For the price, you can't go wrong and there is no need to risk damaging your sensor when a kit like this is easily within reach of every DSLR user.
