D200 Picture???

While investigating the D200, I came across this picture on the Abe's of Maine website.

There's the D200 branding on the camera, but, with the built-in vertical grip, and it missing some other buttons, this looks like no D200 I've seen.

Is this just a case of a less-than-reputable dealer trying to intice unknowing buyers by photoshopping a picture?

Thanks

It's photoshopped, looks a little bit of a mix, for starters the battery grip is not removable and there is no flash on the camera

Looks like a D100 crossed to one of the Fujifilm cameras (S3 Pro I think), and the hybrid crossed again to a D2-series camera. :smile:

I have a D200,and that is NOT like any D200 I know of. I am so damn sick and tired of these scam artistists that I wish there was a way to lock ip every one of them and throw away the key. Whe does out government allow these crooks to continue in business? There are several out there, like: BANANA BOAT cameras that are nothing but scammers. I'm surprise that Abes of Maine has been add to thelist. Although I have never done business with them, I always thought thery were a reputable company. They advertise quite a bit in Popular Photography and other magazines. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Strange thing is that the images of the kits are fine (e.g. the D80 + 18-135 DX kit does actually show this combo). Only the body-only images are wrong.
