There's no telling what other cameras have little quirks tucked away somewhere in their software.

Some say this is a result of the way the camera processes the potographs (parallel channels) and minute differences in conversion causing it.* Who knows...

One thing is for sure, there hasn't been a camera yet that has been perfect out of the chute... although I don't know what issues the D2x had... I can't recall if there were any or not.

I'm sure we'll see a firmware update for the D200.

I'm equally sure that there are those out there systematically looking for exactly these such quirks to exploit them.

For most of us, I doubt we'd see the issue creep up in our photography.* I haven't had it in a single image where I wasn't SPECIFICALLY TRYING to make it happen.* Even then I had to blow it up to 200% to see the banding clearly and I started seeing it at about 80% zoom (What size image would that be?) LOL.* *Given that, I'd say it's the biggest non-issue that has been blown out of proportion.

One or two of those at dpreview.com (Gary Woodward and Adam Kmiec) have pages and pages of historical posts (Adam has 75 posts in the last 24 hours) bashing the D200 and neither one of those guys has bought the camera.

So take it with a grain of salt. How can you opine as to a product when you don't own it?
