I shot my D70 almost exclusively at ISO 200. I'm happy
that the D200 supports ISO 100. 

Maybe it's a mild OCD or something, but when I apply
noise reduction and look at the image at 100% and see
precious detail melt or blur away, it always ticks me off :-)

I see examples on the web or wherever concerning reducing
noise in blue skies, and I always shout to myself, "that's easy
and NOT really representative of the pros/cons of noise
reduction."
