Who shoots at ISO 1600?
I find it amusing how often I've has read reviews of digital cameras (which are really Canon vs Nikon comparisons) that find it necessary to key on the noise produced by Nikon at ISO 1600. I have never intentionally shot at ISO 1600 in my 40+ years of photography. When shooting in low light you use a tripod, and can then shoot at ISO 200-800 or whatever you choose. To me it seems that those with a Canon bias like to bring this up as some kind of camera superiority. The fact is, there little difference between the two camera makers, it really boils down to preference.
Great Camera
this is my 3rd dslr (fuji s2, Nikon d70s) and it is far away the best and will most likely be my camera of choice for years to come. The fuji took great photos but battery set-up was terrible; it's gone now. I still have the d70s, as a back-up, but it just doesn't feel like a real camera and I'm always knocking the program knob from manual to beach scene or something like that.
The D200 feels and sounds great, very solid; like my old F5. All the controls are well thought-out and well placed. You can change ISO, color balance, mode, exposure comp. all without taking your eye from the viewfinder; a big plus. Battery life could be better but it's not a big deal; I just carry an extra battery.

Like the seals but WAY TOO NOISEY
Too much noise!
Noise Picture not right for D200
I don't know where you were, but my D200 doesn't have noise like that, you might want to look over what you did and try again. You didn't mention the great lighting system this camera has, shooting one hand is easy and all the controls fall right into my hands, also the body ergonomics is way better than Canon ever has been. In comparison the D200 makes the newer Canon look like a $5 point and shoot if you ask me, and Canon has a long way to come up to par with Nikon.
