Thinning out my nikon gear so question is do I keep my d200 and 17-55mm 2.8 for shots of grandkids or d700 with 24-85 mm vr( the d7100 is going)
I don't print large anymore so help me out.

I personally would keep D700 and 24-85VR for quality reason. D200 is a lot older then D700.
 
I have to admit that I was glad to see the back of the D200, especially since it was replaced by the D700! Unless you are in dire need of the cash that selling the D700 might raise above the value of the D200, it's a no-brainer IMO, keep the D700.
 
I just wasn't sure so d7100 d200 and 17-55 mm going in the classifieds soon .
I do like the images from the 200 I suppose it's a bit like the fuji Bayer and x trans sensors.

Up to ISO 400 the D200 was great but 800 was pretty much its ceiling. When it came to the crunch, I kept my older D70 and sold the D200 to help fund the D700 - in fact, the D70 stayed with me until very recently when it got traded in against an X-T2. Still got the D700 as well, alongside the D750 - no Dx Nikons any more! Not too sad about that, the Fujis give far better images and do far higher ISOs than either of the old bodies.
 
No contest! D700 every time. I owned the D200, it was my first Nikon. I loved it an' all, but it stank for ISO performance. You could sell both and get a D7200, keep the 17-55 2.8 and have change left over
 
I still rate the d700, it's a truly iconic fx body. I gave my d200 to my daughter, and it's still going strong.
