Nikon today announced the highly anticipated D200, a digital SLR that will be available by the end of the December. The new Nikon D200 is a follow-on to the Nikon D100 that combines brand-new technologies with advanced features inherited from the Nikon D2X digital SLR.

Employing a newly developed 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor, the D200 captures images with remarkable resolution. Its 1005-pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II system ensures ideal exposures while an advanced Nikon image processing engine renders images with clarity and smooth color gradations.

The D200 powers-up in 0.15 seconds, and fires in a 50 millisecond shutter release lag time. It can shoot five frames per second with a viewfinder blackout time of just 105 milliseconds between shots. Its large, bright viewfinder offers 0.94x magnification while a new 2.5 inch LCD screen provides 170 degrees viewing angle from all directions. With an all new 11-area autofocus system, robust control of Nikon's i-TTL Creative Lighting System and advanced Wi-Fi image-transmission options, the D200 is a perfect fit for discriminating photographers and a natural choice for wedding, event and action photographers.
