Nikon D200 or Canon EOS 5D? Review at DCI

Nikon D200
Nikon D200 Digital Camera.

In a head to head review, Digital Camera Info compared the Nikon D200 with the Canon EOS-5D. The result was a vicroty for the Nikon. Read this summary: ‘The Nikon D200 – Canon EOS 5D Head-to-Head Review marks the debut of our comparative review format. There’s plenty of debate about whether the 10.2 megapixel Nikon D200, at $1700, and the $3200, 12.8 MP full-frame Canon EOS 5D even ought to be compared – the price and sensor size differences are often cited points. … We’ve heard plenty of Nikon partisans argue that the D200 competes more directly with the Canon EOS 30D, but really, the 30D is essentially the Canon EOS 20D with an interface upgrade – the chip and image processor are unchanged - so technologically, the camera is over a year and a half old. The D200 is a much faster camera with a more logical ergonomic design. With the Nikon, users can turn the camera on and snap off a shot in a single motion - an action that would require two hands and far more time with the 5D. The D200 can also shoot 5 frames a second, while the 5D can only muster 3. This combined with the D200’s more robust body (not to mention its more affordable price tag), makes it a much more formidable alternative for photojournalists or casual shooters.’
