Releasing the shutter only on focus acquisition

To setup the D200 so that an image is taken only when the subject is in focus, set the Custom Setting A1 (for AF-C mode) or A2 (for AF-S mode) to “Focus Priority” instead of “Release Priority”

    Good idea, but this begs the question “Is a slightly out-of-focus shot better than no shot at all?”
