Keith Reader has had two bodies and they are both the same, also they are not supposed to be very good in low light. I would do a review search before taking the plunge.
Since Don has mentioned me, I'll add a comment. I upgraded from a D70 to a D200, and whilst the D70 is very capable, the D200 is much better in all respects. I can't comment on auto-focus as I never use it. In manual and aperture priority mode with manual focus it works fine and is capable of sharp results.

To get the sharpest results you need decent lenses, typically stopped down to F8 or F11, and with the camera mounted on a tripod. In my experience the limitation is not so much the resolution of the sensor or the lens, but the depth of field, and that requires accurate focussing.

I suspect the D2x will give a noticeable improvement in sharpness at A3 prints. But it is so big, and expensive that I would not consider it.
