very good for 1139, for 939 an amazing deal
now they are 915 after dbl rebate

does anybody know if you can get a rebate on a 2nd 30d (i need another one)

What would those shots look like if you took them with your D200?

[rgaya]

i think you would still be able to get the same shots with a D200

Then again, according to Rob Galbraith, the D200 could not keep up with the 20D when it came to shooting basketball because of high noise and low keeper rate compared to the Canon.

I don't see anything the d200 couldn't do, not that you don't have a great combination

[RandyCanon]

in this gym the d200 would have done fine because iso was 640
when i need 1600 the d200 shots would require NR sw which would result in much less image detail...

btw, i shoot 3-4 gyms like this out of 20-30 total...school built in the last 5 yrs are best, last 10 are ok, anything older than 10 i call them iso1600 schools

This was from Rob Galbraith's review of the D200

" we've shot the D200 and 20D side-by-side for available light basketball over several weekends this winter, and the 20D is by far the better camera for this purpose. Not only were the ISO 800 through ISO 3200 frames massively cleaner and more usable, the percentage of in-focus frames was signficantly higher. In fact, we've ruled out using the D200 for this sort of assigment again"
