UK Dealers are looking at £1750 or more as starting price, seems very high to me compared with the D7200 now at £750? I had expected £1400 to start with settling down to near £1200 for the top DX camera? I also see the D5 well over £5000 much as we all thought it would be to start with.

The D200 was £1300 recommended retail 2005. There has been quite a bit of inflation since then?

I bought my D200 (new) for £750, mid 2007, about the time the D300 was released.

The D500 is a considerable development from the D300, and light years from the D200. Effectively The D500 is a mini D5, most of the essentials i.e. the AF, are similar or identical.
