Is the D200 firmware worthwhile?

Steve, My D200 returned from Nikon repair with the upgrade...not sure what it does for the camera.

 

Mine came with both upgrades. Everything I read says it is worth the trouble.

 

Steve, I think I saw it on Nikonians, but it may have been on Nikon Cafe. Do a search and see what comes up. As usual, there were some who felt "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but most people recommended the upgrade.

 

Version 2.0 has been out since the fall, there was plenty of discussion about it back then. I updated, I like to keep my firmware up to date, but I didn't notice any difference with performance. I'm not sure what the March 7, 2007 date is all about, though, probably just updated the instructions or something.

 

IIRC, version 2 added support for the Wireless Transmitter and Image Authentication.

 

Like dsp921 says - the version 2.0 firmware update is from September 2006. Nothing new anymore.

 

I think this updated is different because I updated when the firmware came out and on my camera it was A. 2.00 and B. 1. (something can't recall.) Now the D200 has A. 2.00 and B. 2.00

I bought my D200 in early December and it came loaded with 2.00 for both A and B.

 

It should have been 2.0 for both, maybe you missed the B download or something. I updated in Oct or Nov and I have 2.0 in A and B.

 

I guess I did something wrong...Thanks!

 

Furthermore it changed/fixed the non working AF-On for some Sigma lenses if I remember correctly.

...plus the bunch of other internal bug fixes manufacturers don't tell their clients about. :wink:

Whatever, I don't have any problems so far with version 2.00.

 

Once again you and I agree. Mine is also 2.0 or both A and B, done in early October, 2006.
