Not an even trade but he paid $1200 for the D200 (with vertical grip). I
figured that it is the most that I would ever get for it,  as I think that
it would bring about $600 in another year. And once I had tried a D300 for
available light I knew that it was inevitable that I would buy one. So I did
it now. while I could still get something for the D200. Even though I don't
usually like to be the first to buy a new model electronic product.
