10.2megapixel DX Format CCD image sensor
The D200 employs a newly developed 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor that captures images with
sharp details and versatile color imaging at 3,872 x 2,592 pixels size, yielding extraordinarily
moiré, color fringing and shifting, while also complementing the sensor’s improved resolving power.

•Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF can be ideal for portraiture in characteristic settings that include action or complex elements. It automatically identifies the subject closest to the camera using the
11 sensors, and enables composition that captures the entire scene while keeping the focus emphasis on the closest subject.
•Group Dynamic AF recognizes patterns of action in the scene and allocates a group of AF sensors accordingly. Both Dynamic AF and Closest Subject options are also available, enabling the capture of specific moving subjects in a frame that may also contain peripheral activity. Such broad ranging focus capability is well suited to composition situations, such as sports, where the action can be expected to take place in a particular part of the frame but at a speed too fast for focus on a single spot.
