Nikon D40 with Nikon D200 Overview


Let's compare D200 with D40. Both cameras produced Nikon. The first model related to Semi-Pro DSLR, the second to Entry-Level DSLR cameras. Both of these models were released in 2006. This means that differences will go a long way. Let's take a closer look.
The sensor resolution of D200 is greater than that of D40. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (D40), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. Both cameras feature a 2-inch fixed screen.
D200 has optical (pentaprism) viewfinder, and the D40 doesn’t have. All viewfinders has no electronic viewfinderk dot resolution. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Nikon D200 has 3.0 fps continuous shooting. Nikon D200 has 3.0 fps continuous shooting.
