Possible D200 major problem

[Gil]

I notice last year while at a wedding that after taking a picture, the D200 failed to record the file. The error said file contains no data. I replaced the card and continued with no issues. It did it again a couple of times and some times the camera seems not to respond when viewing and reviewing images. Last night, I had what would seem to be signs of a camera on it's last leg. The camera would fail to record the images with the same "file contains no data" and at one point, the camera's mirror locked up and I had an error message on the top LCD. After taking the batteries out, and pressing every button, the camera went back into operation. All this time up to last night, I thought I had a bad CF cards. Now, I realize it's a big glitch on the camera that's about 18 month old. I used the camera for the rest of the night and this morning and it seems fine, for now. My D100 lasted 5 years of abuse before developing any issues.
Has anybody heard of any D200 issues like the one I described?

HI Gil,
I haven't been around for some time, so I JUST found your message.....I hope by now you have gotten your problem taken care of.....

I had a similar issue with my S5. It hasn't happened for quite some time now. It's supposedly something to do with new contacts on the battery? I guess once they get used a bit, it happens less.

Do you have the extra battery MP200 (I think that's what it's called) on your D200? Thathas a problem too, same thing. I was asking the Nikon repair guy about this sort of behavior. He sort of confirmed what I had learned.

My camera would lock up, then after I took the battery out, or switched batts, it would work again, for a while, then do the same very frustrating thing again. When I say lock up, I mean I would get err messages, failure to record images, I think card not recognized....not always the same problem, so it was very confusing and very FRUSTRATING! Like I said, I haven't had it happen for a few months now. It happened my first few times out with the camera in the spring.

I had to trust it in May, when my D2x decided to go funky on me. The S5 hasn't failed since then. I remember I was hesitant using both cameras. Which one was the least likely to die? SHEESH! Now I'm waiting for a D3!
