Customer Review: Good battery has yet to live up to performance predictions
Summary: 2 Stars
After almost a year and a half of use my review of the battery can be summarized this way.
Order spares and don't plan on ever getting 1800 captures on a single charge.
Others defend this as a five star battery despite actual performance that is nowhere near the claims made by Nikon. Sending the message that inflating the performance of an accessory for whatever reason is fine. That no matter what it's perfect in every way!
I give my Nikon outfit that includes lenses, filters, flashes, eyepieces and battery's an overall five stars.
Performance of the battery is good but not as good as promised. Not understated as is typical of this manufacturer but far enough off to appear exaggerated rather than optimistic.
Hey no problem! I use the camera a lot and expect to carry spares and charge them more too.
Rather than jump on a rubber stamp bandwagon I figure reviews are a reality check for those who have yet to buy the equipment. A way to say hey man 1800 captures isn't going to happen unless you are are the type setting the D200 to P and using the battery only to click the shutter. That getting 1800 captures isn't possible if you access the menu options, review your images or check histograms let alone use the flash. No, forget about viewing on the TV or changing white balance and stuff like that and you may just have a battery that goes past a 2gb card. I don't mean it takes doing all of those things either. Do any of them and you may get three or four hundred actuations if shooting jpg's. Just remember to leave noise reduction off and don't load the buffer. Otherwise consider getting at least a couple extra units when you buy the camera.
Remember.. you are in charge of how long they last!
The knowledgeable and always overjoyed don't provide gallery links, only sarcasm and admissions that a contrasting review irritates them.
Oh well.
So I don't get the rubber stamp vote. So the blindly devoted are irritated.
That's ok!
Understanding how this battery really performs will allow some to prepare accordingly and go on to have a five star experience with the D200 as I have.
I love my Nikon gear but the battery is one of the few areas that could stand a little improvement.
Good luck!
Now here in October 2006 I must say I am amazed by the amount of unhelpful clicks this review gives me.
I still have the same reaction everytime I see more.
You can't possibly tell me that one battery allows you to operate this camera effectively and for any length of time without getting caught short . Hah! 2800 images ... that's a joke!
Maybe if you pull your D200 out once a week to take family snapshots or pictures of the dog and cat.
There is no way you could take more than a few hundred shots while working the menu's as needed let alone using accessories.
Look, I will say it again! This battery gives mediocre performance. I know, I have four of them and easily shoot 10GB's a week. Of course I am coming from the perspective of using Nikon as a system and in a variety of circumstances rather than someone who sets it to P and could care a less about accessing the many menu features that make the D200 a great camera.
I am sticking by guns on this one all the way! As it is I am charging batteries almost everytime I walk back in the door. It is a rare day indeed when I do any work with the camera and just come home and sleep well knowing I have enough juice for the next time.
I love Nikon equipment! I even love Nikon jackets and shirts. Heck, I may go out and get Nikon tatooed on my arm some day soon but don't tell me this battery comes close to performing as promised.
Don't tell me this is a five star battery!
Cuz that is just not so.
It is in fact the weakest link in an otherwise excellent system.
If you want to use your D200 for anything other than snapshots then order spares when you order the camera.
Now if the battery desciption was anywhere close to the reality than my rating might be five stars.
But this is a review not a testimonial! Rubberstamping five stars on products that don't perform even remotely close to described by the brand that labels them .... who does that help?
Good luck!
