The Nikon D200 was released in 2005. This 10.2 megapixel camera sells new for $1,400 (as of October 2010) and is compatible with Nikon F-mount lenses. Used cameras are available for much less.
User manual included
Nikon cameras always come with a user manual packaged in the box. If, for whatever reason, your newly purchased camera is missing its manual (or has been accompanied by a manual in the wrong language), you can contact Nikon through the company website and ask for a hard-copy replacement.
Downloadable manual
If you purchased a used camera and it didn't include the user manual, you can download it from Nikon.com. With some newer manuals, Nikon charges users to download the full user guide for printing, but the D200's manual is available free of charge.
Ken Rockwell's guide
Professional photographer Ken Rockwell has created his own guide to the Nikon D200. His guide steps you through the use of the D200 in a less formal and more instructive way than the official user's manual, with emphasis on mastering the camera for great photos. To print or save the PDF version of the manual, which is available online for free, the creator asks for a $5 donation through PayPal (see Reference two).
