Nikon D200

I am the proud owner of a Nikon D200. I shot a series in Nikon Raw, Nef format and tried to import the pictures into Aperture.
It says: UNSUPPORTED IMAGE FORMAT
With my Nikon D100 it worked just fine.
What now?

Hi Jim, welcome to the forum.

The D200 is a brand new camera - the only two convertors I know of that support it yet are Nikon Capture and Bibble. Your best bet is to post feedback via the official form asking for support.

Bear in mind that RAW is not a specific format (it's the raw information from the camera sensor plus metadata), and varies from camera to camera, even if the file extension is the same - D70 .NEFS are different from D70s .NEFs.

RAW Developer supports the D200, too.

No updated RAW for Aperture yet, though Adobe managed to pump one out today. Also Adobe's Lightroom beta seems to work with the D200 format.

Time to get the lead out, Apple

Photoshop CS2 (with update) also supports Nikon D200 files.

True -Photoshop CS2 opens D200 RAW images in Photoshop (crudely and slowly). However, there is no update for the latest greatest Adobe product BRIDGE. Without the ability to view, adjust and open RAW images in the BRIDGE, that update is a half-baked, half-truth at best. shannon

Extensis haven't managed a D200 update either in Portfolio. Buying new equipment, the first version of software and having the priviledge of being able to do so is not without its price!

Using the Adobe Bridge update (download folders and then follow instructions carefully) on the Adobe web site you can open D200 NEF images.
I just shot some tests this last weekend and succesfully did the download of the images in both JPG and NEF. Comparing the Same JPG and Raw NEF images I found them to be very different.
I have been told that if you use Nikon's own software the Raw images will compare well with the JPGs
However Nikon's software is terribly slow.
