Re: best 200 iso-nikon?


I like the output of the d200 at low ISO. It's an excellent low ISO camera and withstood heavy processing better than prior cams I've used. Dunno about the d2x, but I would assume the same. Lots of folks have always raved about the d2x output at low ISO, so it is reasonable to conclude that it is as good as any. I know of a couple of people that have d300s or d3s, that kept their d2x for low ISO shooting.

IMO the d300 is probably just as good, if you don't use the heavy processing picture controls. Using the standard PC or d2x PCs, aRGB, you have a very clean file and a lot of latitude, with good exposures. 14-bit gives you a little more latitude for pushing pixels around before you posterize the image. But, if you nail the exposure and don't need much processing, they're all good.

But, if I were to guess, my guess would be that "best" low ISO camera for pixel peepers, would be the d3x.

In a blind print test of normal sized prints, up to about 12x18, I rather doubt that anyone, could tell which photo came from which camera.
