I work at a newspaper in Washington D.C. and we had 18 D200?s in the department. All where having the same problems as you guys are discussing. The battery would go to zero and the camera would stop working. The photographers where having daily problems with the cameras and they also missed some photos. This does not make happy editors. I wont go into a long dissertation but all camera bodies went in to NPS more then once and nothing was ever diagnosed! We finally gave up and just went with the D2Xs throughout the department. The photographers had lost confidence in the cameras and the editors where working lots of man-hours with Nikon and losing valuable time doing photojournalism. The few wires, publications and agencies that still use Nikon and have D200?s in the hands of working photographers have had the same problem. Maybe we had this happen so often because our guys average 4 assignments a day. I don?t know, but the bottom line is that there is a problem with the Nikon D200 camera body and Nikon has not found out how to fix the problem or maybe most professionals are just ditching it and going with the high-end model like we did.
