I adore black and wite photogrpahy but it rarely occurs to me to convert images to B&W.

estHer shoots a lot of black and white and she loves to pose for the camera along with her friends.

I would think she's right to experiment in B&W... :-) It allows to go immediately to the essentials !
This one is really good, dynamic, funny, and with proper shades of grey :-)

There's a "trick" you can use on the D200 : You set the camera in B&W and shoot in NEF (Raw).
On the LCD you see the jpeg B&W picture and see if you like it or not - and train your sight to B&W - and still have the capacity to revert to color when processing the Raw file... :-)

GR-D does the same, which is great, especially at high iso on the small sensor, which is always noisy.

Yes... I usually do that with small sensor cameras (just got a P50 for my wife as she wanted a cheap one, with manual override and 28mm)!

Does it give you the RAW file as well?

Alas.. No (that's why it's relatively cheap)!
And I don't like the overkill in 8 MegaPixels - I feel that at about 6 or less it would have been just as good !
But it's handy and useful- She seems quite happy with it :-)
