Carlo and I were talking about the features of the D200 last night. We thought it would be a good idea if the D200 users could meet and discuss its capabilities. I've mentioned this to TJ as well. What do you guys think? Carlo offered his restaurant as venue. :)

Well, we can start here...

Here is one, you can use the Interval shot feature to automatically expose 9 or any number of frames in exposure of flash bracketing.

Others please?

Tehn we can compile them and we have something to try about in the EB. :D

I'm in! Exciting yan!!!

can I have the steak now, Carlo?

Nikon d200 users guide by ken rockwell is out already.

Hey Carlo, would your restos have WiFi by any chance? Having access during the EB may be helpful. :)

No D200 Here. :(

nope no wifi sorry.:)

i'll be outside the resto.... no d200 :(

i'll be outside the resto.... no d200 :(

guys everyone is invited. this isnt limited to d200 users only. although the topics will be on the d200 i encourage you and sonny to drop by and pay heed to the topics. that way when you guys get your d200s you would know its features by heart already:D

Good call Carlo! When will the EB be? I would like to hear personal experiences of people using d200s....I'm in the evaluation stage of upgrading. :D

will get the consensus soon. hopefully this will be sometime next week after work. hope to see you there

Though I would not be able to attend, I suggest that you talk about the different focusing modes of this cam. Feature wise, this is mostly what separates this camera(and the other D2 bodies) from the lower end models and would greatly help in taking everyday pictures once you master it.

Other suggestions:
- Play with the built in CLS mode if you have some SB800/SB600 handy
- Auto ISO (very cool and useful feature that can even be used in manual mode)

Regards.

nice to hear its open to everyone, would like to join too since I want to know what I am missing with my D70s ; although I more or less have an idea based on the "specs", maybe it will be more amusing if I see and hear how you owners describe the thirlls and excitement one gets if done with a D200 ...

i'll be outside the resto.... no d200 :(

You me and sonny can be outside drooling :Grin:

You me and sonny can be outside drooling :Grin:

hahahaha... we're such loosers!!! hehehe

anyway, thanks carlo for the invite. lets see if i'll be member of that club soon :)

Hi Guys,

Probably, sports photographers can discuss this feature of the D200. The focusing system is very fast. With the D70 alone, I was able to shoot with a moving subject in total darkness. I'll be happy to join the EB. I hope it doesn't fall on a Thursday. Still don't know what unit to upgrade since Nikon Columbia Digital Sales will be offering loaner units soon. Just in case they don't have D200 units for rent then I guess the upgrade is now justified. :-).

guys we can have it on anyday but wednesday. resto is booked on that night. guys do we have any suggestions yet on the date and time?

Guys maybe we can agree on the time for now. how does 7 pm sound? this will give time for those outside of makati to head to the venue after work. those in Makati can come earier for a few drinks.

monday sounds too soon but doable for me. how about tuesday?

Would love to join the EB this time but wont be able to contribute much knowledge about it.

would love to join the eb. have not really explored the features of the d200. im in!

Class ends at 6 so I can most likely drop in by 7pm nga.

Looks like Carlo will request the Makati City authorities to close one street just for parking. :D

no need:) plenty of parking on the sidestreets

guys we can have it on anyday but wednesday. resto is booked on that night. guys do we have any suggestions yet on the date and time?

I'm only free Wednesday and Thursday this week so I guess this leaves just Thursday. :Grin: 7pm sounds fine...

May I join this gathering? :Grin: Waiting for the date and time to be finalised. Hope there won't be thunderstorms this week. Wouldn't want to test the weather seals on the D200. :D

Something cropped out tonight will not be able to make it see you next time bros.....have a nice time guys

Carlo, I tried to look for your place this morning after I brought my baby to Assumption and it was indeed easy to find. I'm just scared to go tonight though. I promised myself not to buy the D200 this year. Sigh.

i have a feeling youl have one before the end of this year so come anyway so you can already familiarize yourself with the features

This morning, my friend who was given the D200 by his patient went to see me to buy my 18-70 kit lens. I tried his camera and I knew right there and then that it was meant to be mine. He he he. This will be a good test for my emotional quotient. My D70 is still good enough for my needs....:Grin:
