A great camera very easy to use July 17, 2008
A superb camera that has everything I need plus it takes all my Minolta lenses (one reviewer said the auto focus doesn't work with older lenses but mine are working fine. They need to be Minolta apparently.) All controls are extremely easy to use and for someone like me who doesn't like reading manuals!!!!! I have found it child's play learning to use all the functions, plus it feels comfortable to handle. Highly recommend this camera to anyone seeking a good priced, easy to use digital SLR.

Sony A200, a newbie's opinion July 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first single lens reflex camera so I can't compare it to others of similar specification. My previous camera was an Olympus C-276 which served me well for 4 years but was too slow to start up, focus and set exposure for my hobby of photographing aircraft. First impressions were it seemed heavy but well balanced, all the controls fall easily to hand. The manual zoom is much quicker and easier to use than the power zoom on the Olympus. Build quality is good, the switches and dial click nicely when operated. Very easy to use and very quick to shoot with "from cold". The images seem slightly "softer" than with the Olympus but this is a subjective opinion. Long battery life between recharges is a big plus for me and the 4Gb Sandisk Compact Flash card holds 1000 images at fine setting, another plus. Nice built in flash with "intelligent" operation in auto mode makes this camera easy to use for beginners in all light conditions.
This model is not aimed at serious professionals, but amateurs of limited means who want to produce professional looking work will find it a cost effective step up the ladder. I like it and I'm glad I bought it.
 A Big Let Down I,m Afraid July 13, 2008

Purchased this with view to replace an old Nikon D70 mainly because the Sony has such great features esp anti shake built in to the body.
First impressions were that the camera had a very cheap plasic e feeling ,and when i wiped of a smudge on the viewfinder it creaked quite loudly !
The viewfinder is really really bad as it reflects highly your own face in bright sunlight and i found very difficult to see, almost like lens flare thru the viewfinder.
Handling is not 2 good either and would imagine after a couple of hrs would start to annoy, the shutter is set way to far back.
The camera has dynamic range settings that assist your images,well i tried all the settings and messed about with exposure settings underexposing and still the camera liked to overexpose and blow out highlights,this was really disapointing and the lens produced very soft images from the middle to the edges even with the aperture at F11.
Terrible kit lens basically.
Good things about the camera was the noise control it was excellent even @1600 iso.
This Sony 10 meg procceser is used in the Nikon D80 so proves there are no excuses for such poor exposure and dynamic range.
If you want anti shake in the camera then i would consider the pentax route, Have tried the Olympus route,great camera,s but noise and dynamic range again lacking.
Looks like to me the established makers ie Nikon and Canon really do make the best Cameras !!
I do worry that marketing is making us go backwards because all these amazing features and higher Pixel race thing to me does not amount to better.
To conclude my Old 6 Meg Nikon really does blow away anything else Pic wise thats out now and costs below 400.
To me images are number 1 and Build quality and handling number 2.
Great first DSLR camera July 13, 2008
After lots of research on which camera to upgrade to I decided to go for a DSLR and Sony A200K kept coming up highly recommended and in the end the excellent price made me decide and go for this one. I could not be happier with my purchase. I have only just started off with it so I am still learning, it but must say its so easy to use and the manual very clear (and I am a complete beginner, have only had a tiny digital camera up until now...)Took some great pictures in the park and the quality is amazing. If you are considering, go ahead and treat yourself it is so much fun, you will not regret it!
A Fantastic Camera!! July 13, 2008
I have always wanted a D-SLR but have never been able to really afford one! When I saw this on here at this price and all the brilliant reviews I decided to go for it and ordered one for myself. It arrived extremley quickly and once the battery had charged I was snapping away. First impressions? VERY impressive. As an amateur photographer this is perfect for me and can't wait to get a telephoto lens for it. Extremley Recommended!
