Your left hand will find a lever next to the D200's lens mount for switching between continuous and single autofocus or manual focus, along with buttons to flip up the built-in speedlight and set flash exposure compensation
In addition to the shutter release with its concentric power/LCD-lamp switch and shooting mode and EV buttons, the top panel hosts a monochrome LCD with readouts showing the current settings. It's a crowded view because Nikon had to squeeze in ISO, white-balance and resolution/quality information, which are shown on a secondary status LCD on the D2X.

The status LCD shows a wealth of settings in a small space
To the left of the 64mm (2.5-inch), 230,000-pixel LCD is a stack of buttons that activate picture review, the menu system, review layout options and image protection. The image-protection button also serves as a Help key when a menu is displayed, and there's an Enter button that activates scrollable and resizable zooming during playback.

Most of the other adjustments are clustered on the back of the camera, and if you like dedicated physical controls for your functions, you'll be delighted with the clutter
