“Nikon today introduced the highly anticipated new D200—a precision-engineered, high performance digital SLR camera designed to satisfy the requirements of passionate and demanding photographers. Combining brand-new technologies with advanced features inherited from Nikon’s venerable D2X professional digital SLR camera, the D200 incorporates more must-have features than any other camera in its class, enabling photographers to capture images in a way once reserved only for professionals.”

There’s already a long review up at letsgodigital. The press release puts the MSRP at $1699.95 and sets the ship date for late December 2005. They’re also touting a “wi-fi kit” to be available spring 2006.
