Nikon D200 … I did a lot of research before I bought mine. I have two of them.
start with the lens first then get the body, spend on the lens not the body,
lens quality effects quality more than any other factor – light goes down the lens first,
D200 are a fine camera, as the Ace says, I would get a lens first -
money spent doesnt mean better pix, just as a good hammer a builder dont make

It’s hard to take a photo with just a lens, with 1600 you can get a Nikon D80 and used lenses.
Consider the Nikon D80, 10.2 Megapixel, SLR Digital Camera with Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens and Two SanDisk 2GB Ultra II Secure Digital (SD) Cards available from B&H Photo for under $1,200, inc. shipping. Add a Nikon SB600 speedlight (flash) for $185 and a decent tripod for about $100-125 and a spare battery and there goes your money, but it would be well-spent.
I love my D200, but the body alone would use your entire budget, so I can’t recommend it to you.
I’d also say that you might prefer a better lens, but then we are talking about lenses that would eat up enough of your budget that you couldn’t afford the D80. If by “professional,” you mean that you will be selling your photos, you will be able to justify buying a better lens or two in a few months. The 18-135 is good enough to get you started without embarrassment.
