New camera, new shots.

1/2 a second shutter at 1600ISO is just wrong, especially if he is using a tripod.

True, I didn't bother to look at the EXIF. I didn't notice a lot of noise in the pictures so I assumed... that's pretty clear for a crop frame nikon... damn.

1600 on the d200 definitely doesn't look that good. :(

Care to share why? or how you can tell that from looking at it.

it is basic photographic technique. ISO is sensitivity to light. the higher the number, the more sensitive. how this translates in a photo is you see a lot of grain, especially in black areas. it is hard to see in these photos because they are resized, but look at the sky in the 3rd photo. the 4th photo is at a much lower ISO, and because of that the blacks are more black.

if you want to do a semi-scientific test so you can see the difference, go outside at night with a tripod, set your camera to aperture priority, pick a subject, then shoot a few pictures at varying ISO levels, 100 to 1600. you will find that the ISO100 photo looks a hell of a lot better than the ISO1600 photo, but requires a much, much longer shutter speed. the only time you should ever use any ISO above 100 is if you do not have a tripod and are finding that your shutter speeds are too slow to capture your subject matter clearly.

don't shoot in auto mode. shoot in aperture priority, keep it at the widest aperture, f/3.5-5.6, ISO100. if it gets darker and the shutter speeds drop below 1/20th of a second bump up the iso a bit to 200 or 400 until you get some faster shutter speeds.
