I agree with most of the above - I use a D200 and D70 as backup. The D70 was my first Digital SLR and when I upgraded to the D200 I kept it. Very useful is the fact that they both have interchangeable batteries and Compact Flash cards. Also they both have pop up flash and can work as Commander units with the Nikon Close Up Remote Speedlight kit R1 that I use for macro photography. I think that interchangeability can save you quite a bit. One thing I have noticed is that lenses with Silent Wave Motors seem a bit more responsive on the D200.
