Nikon D200 DSLR camera

The Nikon D200 is a semi-professional digital single-lens reflex camera originally released in late 2005. It represents a significant era in photography when Nikon transitioned heavily into digital professional bodies. Today, while Nikon has shifted its focus toward mirrorless systems (Z-series), it remains a legendary name in the imaging industry.

Nikon Corporation, founded in 1917 as Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. While the company's design and engineering are based in Japan, the assembly of the D200 body primarily took place in Nikon's manufacturing facilities in Thailand, which has served as a major hub for their digital camera production for decades. Nikon is a key member of the Mitsubishi Group, one of Japan's largest corporate conglomerates.
