Apples to Apples: Nikon D100/ D200
As near as is possible, here is a side by side comparison of the Nikon D100 and it's replacement, the D200:
I took these test shots and details in a halogen light. Same settings throughout between the cameras:
f/3.5
ISO 200
1/40 second shutter
Adobe 1998 color space
neutral "incandescent" white-balance preset.
same lens/ focal setting setting (24mm)
tripod
media card
I scaled up the D100 image to the same file size for comparison. The two crop details are at the D200's 100% therefore.
The D100 is inherently more conservative and greenish in it's color rendering in this white balance setting compared to the D200.
So, which is better?
again (age before beauty)
