While the S3 Pro UVIR is an important camera, we don't suggest selling off your D200 and replacing it with this model as your primary. That said, the UVIR will make forensics investigations and forgery detection much easier for crime scene analysts; for the fine artist, it also brings an interesting new world view into light. The FujiFilm FinePix S3 Pro UVIR's mechanical heritage is based upon a Nikon chassis, and it accepts almost all Nikon F-Mount lenses. With specialized filters and/or alternate light sources, the photographer can isolate specific wavelengths beyond normal human vision for various purposes: organic materials of the leafy variety appear much brighter, even to the point of glowing, and some clothing becomes semi-transparent. As a second camera body for specialized light capturing purposes, the UVIR presents a fascinating alternative to the normal way of shooting.
