I've stepped out of the dungeon and snapped shots with both the Nikon D100 and D200. Thanks for viewing and drop a sub/follow! mattsnotes thetantobykeith
Vert straightforward and to the point . Still shooting my 15 year plus old D 200 with the 70-200 2.8 Nikon lens and find myself still loving it for most every thing
I'm a big D200 fan as well - it's so good, it's hard not to pick up spares when I see them for cheap w/ few shutter clicks . As others point out the D80 is also a CCD, and I'd add in the D70 as a pretty good CCD option as well (and super, super cheap!)! A big advantage for the D200, IMO, is that it meters with the AI/AI-S and AI Converted lenses (whereas the D100, D70, and D80 don't). You can do that manually (think there's a phone app for that), but the D200 does it for you and works really well with those old lenses (pro lenses from that era can be really cheap, even if manual focus only).
The D100 shares its sensor woth the Epson rd1 as far as i know. i own both the D100 and D200. Really love the results i get from both systems. and they both only have cf card slots that additional sd slot was added in the d300s. The D100 will take up to 4GB, D200 32GB CF. Happy shooting.
I did not know this! That's something if the d100 does share the same sensor as the rd1, especially with the massive price difference between the two lol
The little D50 is a great little 6MP CCD camera. Super comfortable and a joy to shoot. I picked one about a couple months back for $50 including kit lens.
@@tylerfields2368 - If your budget allows, I would go for a D200. It’s a classic and still relatively’ ‘snappy’ by today’s standards. It’s really a stout camera. That said, D50s can be had all day for less than $50 USD. It is a smaller, lighter and simpler camera that is a ton of fun.
@@kbarrett1844 I want that film classic look, grainy film look with a ccd sensor. I know finding one with a good shutter count is also what to lookout for. So the 200 gives a grainy film like look over the 50?
@@kbarrett1844 also I recently got me a pentax smc m 50 1.7 (manual prime lens) to adapt to my canon sl3! I like the upcoming challenge of using manual aperture and focusing because it's a late 70s to early 80s lens. As for Nikon lenses, idk what would be a best combo with a vintage Nikon ccd cam. But definitely want something 1.4-1.8 (ik it will be equivalent to 75-80mm) because of the 1.5 crop factor focal length but that's fine, I can reframe and step back several feet. What lens combo you recommend? Im guessing getting a all manual lens to go on one of those Nikon's isn't possible because mostly everything from 86 onward from nikon was autofocus? Lmk what you recommend. But since I don't have time to get a actual film camera and produce film and go to lab and send it off, this is my alternative. I'll make it work!
@@tylerfields2368 - I also shoot film, and no digital camera is going to be exactly like film. Where they are similar is in color tonality and dynamic range and less similar when it comes to grain. It’s a bit of a miss to expect film qualities from anything but film. With that said, you do get film like vibes from these older sensors. It is interesting to note that older CMOS sensors can provide those same vibes as well. The color science of this era was emulating film to appeal to film shooters. They were pretty successful at getting the ‘look’ but it isn’t exact. The D200 and the D50 sensors have a similar look. The D200 is 10 megapixel, whereas the D50 is six. The D200 has better AF and more FPS and a control layout that will provide more finite control. The D50 is more consumer oriented with its simplified interface. It’s hard to find bad Nikon glass. Primes will extract more out your sensors potential, but the Nikon zooms are still quite good.
Sold my D200 two years ago, I should have kept it. I bought it brand spanking new in early 2006. I best pick one up before they blow up in price though. Awesome video btw. Straight to the point and no Squarespace five minute ad. 🙃
Thanks for the video. My first DSLR is D80 purchased in 2006. After other Nikon CMOS DSLR cameras I acquired, I got a used D200 in 2022. CCD sensors definitely produce unique images I'd prefer over the CMOS in many occasions. Cheers!
I bought the Nikon D1X, D100 and the Fujifilm S-3Pro new when they first came out. The D1X quit working YEARS ago, but the D100 and the S-3 still work great. I used them professionally for wedding and portrait work back then and I sold prints up to 20x24 inches to clients. In my opinion any 6-10 MP camera will be enough image quality for most anyone who owns one of the older cameras. It's true that they're not as fast and have fewer AF points, etc. but they sure are fun to use. :)
The D1X looks like a fun camera to poke around with! I've been thinking of picking one up; I see them sell for pretty darn cheap. Finding a good battery for one of those might be a different story however lol
Maaaaaaaaaaan i got lucky. I got my D200 like new with about 1000 shutter actuations for only a hundo. Pretty much new. Came with three batteries and an SD to compact flash adapter. A friggin steal.

I really like your channel and this video. I’ve been considering picking up the Nikon d200 for a while, even just for doing a review for CZcams haha. But I love the ccd colors of my older Nikon DSLR cameras that I have slowly been collecting. Also, I was curious - did you script out your video? You are very well spoken and I really appreciated how well everything came together. Also. I didn’t know the d200 had an sd card slot! That’s awesome!! How would you say either of these compare to the d40x? Great video, once again, looking forward to seeing more of your videos and photo work. Cheers 🎉
Appreciate your support Steve! I didn't script this one; sometimes I'll write down a storyboard/script a video, and I should more often admittedly lol. I don't have the d40x anymore, but what I could remember of it is that it's a little heavier than the d100, but it does have slightly better image quality I think! I subscribed to your channel! Nice work so far and I look forward to seeing yours grow!
The D80 has the same sensor as the D200 but with a D70'ish plastic body and menu, can use up to 32GB SD card, and use the high Li EN-EL 3e. Much better choice than D100.
Good to know. Looking forward to them. I am quite into those oldies 😂. I do have the D100. But my favorite is the S3Pro a joy to use ... Slowly 😅. I also worked out some sort of primitive film simulation recipes for the S3pro 😂🎉
@@MattsNotes hi! I am not a pro but I make it a point to carry a camera with me every weekend with the family. So they see the light of day regularly :) they one that sees the most action is the D5. The S5 pro comes next. The one that sees the least is the D800. I also have other bodies (sigma, Canon 1dxIII, Panasonic). While I would keep the sigma, I am tempted to sell the Canon and keep the Nikons...
Maybe it might be an idea to mention that you can fit a Nikon ai(s) manual focus lens on the D200 - enter it into the non-cpu lens settings and you get full matrix metering and you can shoot manual or apature priority !! ...want film like images....use a lens designed for film !!
There's two advantages of CCD. Yes the color rendition b/c it has more colors than CMOS. The other is JPEG files. The JPEG files of CCD are very close to raw. Since you have the D200. If you have a modern mirrorless, compare the jpeg files. It's crazy how terrible CMOS files are even today. Like better than the Z6, R5, etc.
so you'd recommend I not get the d100 because the mode dials will malfunction indefinitely over time or get the d200? Because I want that film grain noise pattern that looks film like! If not the d100, which of the others (d50-80) gives reliable performance and film grain noise pattern filmic looks?
cant agree that these are great portrait cameras - skin tones are wild and cannot be edited to be accurate. unless..... that film like asthetic is what your looking for. not portra film more like kofak gold. imo thats why you buy these cameras, for the film like look that is far from the clinical colors of modern cameras. these 2 sensors made by sony are all over the place and the sony alpha series cameras utilize these sensors to similar effect but with different color science - i find them to be even worse for skin tones. but again that may be what you are looking for.
The D100 is much better in low-light than the D200! You can actually shoot at ISO 1600 with a D100-but I wouldn’t go above ISO 800 when shooting with a D200. Also, look out for Mode dials that fail on the D100-it’s a very common problem. For instance, you’ll be in Manual Mode and suddenly it’ll switch to Shutter Priority, or some other mode. I find the D100 images to be especially “film-like”, especially the noise pattern-it looks more like film grain than digital noise. This is an awesome camera to shoot in Manual Mode and sharpen your skills at getting proper exposures. You really HAVE to nail exposure or it looks like garbage! I pay a lot of attention to the histogram when shooting these babies.
Awesome comment! Thanks for dropping this info. My d100 mode dial did get wonky almost immediately after filming this haha. You're spot on with all of this, especially low light! Good to hear you're still using these old bodies!
