I am with Scott Linstead, and his earlier post concerning the D300 AF., sure is a breath of fresh air. The camera has improved the D200s features by leaps and bounds,
Much better IQ at higher iso values, superb tracking in Afc mode using single sensor, or 9 point, (as Scott advised me to try), low light AF is incredible... My 200-400 has almost never spent any time searching, it locks on the first try, and seems to read my mind on the specific area I want it to focus on.
The MB-D10 works very well, the first battery completely drains before it moves on to the second battery. The mirror lock up function works perfectly, the continuous low frame rate is adjustable, from 1 to 7 fps.
I have had the pleasure of shooting a Northern Hawk Owl in my area, and have a few images to share in this gallery on pbase.
A really wonderful capture from the small size image I could pull up, Raymond. I really liked the color overall, feather detail, and of course the eyes too. A great shot IMO.
