It's most likely that many people reading this have successfully
downloaded and installed firmware upgrades with no problem. However,
most times this is a one way process and personally I approach such
things with caution observing the old adage 'if it ain't broke don't fix
it'. Find out what any potential upgrade is buying you then decide.

yea, but i guess it will be 6 mos to a year b4 they are avail and the
price
adjusts to normal......in the meantime, i will use the 200, then
upgrade
maybe this next summer.....both 80 & 200 seem like fine cameras...

You're welcome, You got a good deal: used D200's will be selling for about
$1k for at least another six months, probably another 12.

Since the only real place to get the updates is the nikon site, you need to
look there for info.
