As long as we're onto the Nikon Digital cameras, how is the D200 at
1600 (I'd usually convert to B&W)? The small images I've seen on
flickr haven't given me a good idea of the quality, and fanboy digital
sites mostly look at color and have terrible samples anyway.

I've decided to move up from my D70 to something with a decent
viewfinder, and it's either a D200 or a Canon 5d (which requires, of
course, more planning ahead of time). I've already got a couple of
lenses for both (my idea of a kit is a 20mm and a 50mm and maybe a
flash) so the system isn't an issue.

I'd like the full-frame and great high-ISO performance of the Canon
(and Canon's 50/1.4 is much nicer than Nikon primes), but saving $1300
would be a treat, unless I can figure out how to get rich selling
plasma.
