Nikon D200 in-camera sharpness
We noted in our review of the D200 that the in-camera sharpness is too mild (conservative) to deliver the detail captured. Hence on this page we have provided comparisons taken using the 'Normal' parameters preset and also one with sharpness set to 'High' (+2) which helps to equalize the difference in sharpening between it and the EOS 40D.
Canon EOS 40D vs. Nikon D200 (Default)
- Canon EOS 40D: Canon EF 50 mm F1.4 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Standard), Self-Timer (with MLU)
- Nikon D200: Nikkor 50 mm F1.8 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Normal), Self-Timer

So, as noted above this comparison isn't that useful because with its default image parameters the D200's images aren't sharpened to the same level as the EOS 40D.
Canon EOS 40D vs. Nikon D200 (High sharpening)
- Canon EOS 40D: Canon EF 50 mm F1.4 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Standard), Self-Timer (with MLU)
- Nikon D200: Nikkor 50 mm F1.8 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Custom Parameters (High sharpening), Self-Timer

With closer in-camera sharpening levels the D200 can almost match the EOS 40D for detail although there are still areas of the image where the EOS 40D is looking crisper and is maintaining some of the finer details more clearly. Color response is similar (the D200 taking a different approach to greens) while the D200's tone is flatter than the EOS 40D.
