I may be able to trade my D50 with a D200. I'm not sure how many actuations the D200 is yet, I'm just wondering how much better the D200 is. I haven't read over the specs of the D200 yet, but I know it's a newer model with more Megapixels..... that's all I know so far.
 
The things I liked better with my old D200 compared to my D50 were: better build quality, metering with AI glass, increased speed, and the increased number of AF points. Button layout was slightly improved but everything else was about on par. Sub-par battery life, an increased amount of required PP, and the fact that I did not need the extra resolution (I've printed enlargements fine with the D50) led me to sell my D200. I get 98% of the performance I got with my D200 for less than 25% of the price (At the time) with my D50. I can see myself eventually moving to a D90/D300 but for someone who already owns a D50, a D80/D200 at this point doesn't make sense imo.
 
I started with a D50 and moved to a D200 last year and found it to be a steep learning curve onto the 200, you need to practice and get used to all the selections you need to make or setup.

I'm actually trying to get my old 50 back right now although it was dropped and no longer works, I'd like to have it repaired if not too expensive and use as a backup.

The 200 is very well built, lots more settings button accessible rather than through menu and more versatile if thats what you want.
