Nikon D200: A Dirt Cheap DSLR for Beginners

One of the biggest reasons why I’m still recommending the Nikon D200 in 2021 is the Nikon D200 price. Modern photographers would be absolutely shocked to learn that this camera cost well over $1,000 when it first came out in 2005, given its pretty abysmal specs compared to today’s standards.

However, it’s nowhere near $1,000 any more. Before publishing this article, I checked MPB (which is my favorite used camera retailer), and found out that there are over a dozen Nikon D200 bodies listed there starting at just $59.

If you’d like a Nikon D200 in good shape, you can expect to spend $114 on it from MPB.
