I upgraded from a D40 to a D80 right before the 90 came out and it was well worth it.
My reason for making that small step was the higher sensor. focus points. fps and size and weight.
D40 i find is to small.
Don't buy a D200 it's like 4 years old probably more. and long discontinued. that being said you can get one cheep BUT it's old news. and why spend the money on the D300 to get the CMOS sensor when...it's in the D90 for cheeper and a better camera.
Fyi D90 is the exact size of the D80.

d200 is actually a nice camera, 4 years old and discountinued doesnt mean it isnt still up there in the game, i used a d80 and i didnt like it over my d200 not even a little bit

I didn't say the D200 was a bad camera!
I said don't get it for the simple fact that the average person doesn't need to replace there body every few years and if they're going to get a good camera why wouldn't they get the new technology.

1. the d90 is not a better camera then a d200

2. new cameras cost more money then used ones

3. stop posting in camera threads, you have no idea what your talking about, your only giving people bad advice
