John,With a Nikon D200 you can only view an image after it has beentransferred to your computer. The image is not available in realtime in the way that it is with a digital point and shoot camera.This is a limitation of most all DSLR(s).I think I just read that the Fuji S3 UV/IR will allow real timeviewing on it’s LCD. Two things that are required for realtime viewing: a CCD electronic shutter and mirror lockup. Thismust be designed into the camera as a feature.If viewing in really time is important enough it is possible toinstall a closed circuit television camera to the viewfinder of yourcamera.

You’ll probably need to use a nearby laptop for review over a USB connection. It looks like you have two good answers and I have not done this.Many questioned the usefulness of the Nikon WT-1 transmitter when first announced. It seemed like a natural to me.

I'd like to get a WT-1 for my D2H but since it's limited to the D2H I don't want to pay much.Best,Dave Hartman. You can hit 30' with USB. You'll need to buy 2 13' powered USB extension cables to amplify the signal. Otherwise, max length (by spec) for USB is 16'.There's even kits out there that will translate USB into a signal you can send over regular telco cable for 100+'.
