katie h. Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Does anyone know where to find a d200 battery? Everyone seems to be out of stock. I would like to use the d200 as my primary camera at an up coming wedding but I don't like the idea of not having a spare bettery for the d200(then having to switch to the d70). The d70 battery won't work in the d200 will it? Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric friedemann Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 There are both Nikon EN-EL3a batteries and third-party clones for sale "Buy-It-Now" on ebay at reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfoster70 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The D70 battery, EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a battery will not work in the D200. Only the EN-EL3e battery will work. It has an extra contact on it that works with the battery meter in the camera. I havent see any 3rd party batteries yet. I got lucky when I ordered my 2nd battery last month from b&h, they were in stock then. I would assume that since many people are now getting their D200's that they all bought backup batteries at the same time. If you get the MB-D200 battery grip for your D200 it has an adapter to use 6 AA batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_hull Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got 4 of them at B&H about 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Kevin is correct. The older EN-EL3 and EN-EL3a for the D100, D70, D70s and D50 will not work on the D200, which requires an EN-EL3e. But the EN-EL3e will work on the older DSLRs. I recall that B&H had the EN-EL3e in stock 2, 3 weeks ago. I would look around or wait a couple of weeks. Moreover, K&S in Palo Alto, California tends to have a lot of those little parts in stock, perhaps because their prices tend to be somewhat higher than B&H's. Back in 2002, I needed a spare EN-EL3 immediately for my D100 before a major trip. B&H was out of stock for quite a while but K&S had it: http://www.kandsphoto.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georges_pelpel Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I got one from B&H two weeks ago. They are out of stock now. Check their website every couple of days, their price is competitive at $39.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_wisniewski Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 On the B&H website, use the "notify when this item is in stock" feature. For D200 batteries, it's fine, because they stay in stock for a day or two. For DK-21m, you'll actually need to be at your computer when the email comes in, because those sell out an hour after they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_robertson2 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Ace Photo in Sterling Virginia (I think it's www.acephoto.net) sold me a second battery with my D200, you might see if they still have them in stock. The D70 battery will not work. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
