I think for d200 you must use MC-36 for remote CMIIW

MC-30 if you can get one is a good alternative (much cheaper too)
else you can consider 3rd party ones.

MC30, MC36, ML-3
check out under nikon acessories sg website.
Else do go down to lords and check out the actual stuff if they have. (not sure has it been soldout)

unless you need the timer function.

Hi, I am using a MC36 with my D200. has lots of features and a cool LCD screen to time your exposures and a built in intervalometer to take a sequence of shots over time.

What I found (only after buying the MC36) is that many of these functions (eg. intervalometer) are already available in camera for the D200, so there is no real need for such a complex remote unless you need to monitor the time of exposure on the LCD or you are using a simpler DSLR. The MC36 is also quite bulky for a remote.

So my comment, with the benefit of hindsight, is to settle for a simple remote like the ML-3 and use the built in intervalometer in your D200 if you need to take multiple sequential photos.

For me, I console myself with the wow factor that the MC36 remote creates when I use it, but frankly not much practical advantage if you have the D200.
