 Brilliant Camera. Pity about............... November 16, 2008

Brilliant camera - brilliant pictures in RAW format but let down by the image conversion software supplied on disc with the camera.
Sony help line about as good as their software !!
Pity really otherwise would have given the complete package 5 stars.

Feeling the urge to move into DSLRs after struggling to get the shots I was after with a Point n Shoot, I ended up with the A200 and I am very very happy.
I took a long time deciding between the A200, A300, D60 and EOS450D. What did it for me was price, inbuilt anti shake and many positive reviews out there for the A200. I wasn't too fussed for Live View on the A300, and despite the Nikon and Canon having the bigger rep, the price difference was just too much. With the money I saved over the Nikon/Canon I have purchased a bag, Sigma 70-300mm lens and a polarising filter.
Overall the A200 is superb! Very easy to use, good in the hands and produces some stunning images. Even the misses has got on great with it and we both now big DSLR fans.
Don't hesitate if your thinking about it.
Very happy, would recommend this camera October 13, 2008

This is my second DSLR camera and i was going to upgrade from my Canon 350D to the 400D, then i saw this reviewed in a computing magazine.
For the price it's fantastic and the image quality is superb, it feel's well made and the kit lens is pretty good. All in all i would recommend this to anyone.

I've had my A200 for a couple of months now so thought it was time to write my review. The easiest way to describe this is wow!
Like so many other reviewers this is my first slr but I am no stranger to photography. I did about 2 months of research using the internet, talking to people and reading the photography press. I wanted a camera to take high quality shots and wanted to spend around 500. I narrowed it down to 3 cameras. The A200, the Nikon D40 and the Canon Eos 450D. Now 2 months down the line I have absolutely no regrets. This camera takes fantastic photographs straight out of the box. Fit the lens and memory card, charge the battery, switch it on and select auto, point the camera and press the shutter release. It really is that easy. The first photo I took blew me away and that was just my DVD cabinet on the other side of my sitting room and viewed back via the camera's LCD screen. From that moment my new love affair has started and I rarely put the camera down. Wherever I go it goes. It's amazing the opportunities that arise just while going about your daily business and I've found it makes me so much more aware of my surroundings and I see things I've never seen before that I pass every day.
There have been a few mentions of the poor quality of the lens and it's inability to be an "all rounder" I think it is amazing when you think that you are paying under 300 for the kit. The pictures are sharp, the colours are fantastic and they are in a different world to any I've taken with compact cameras over the years. As for the "all rounder" issue, I think it does an incredible job. No matter what you buy, not just for photography, if you want one item that is going to do the job of 2 or 3 seperate items then there is going to be a compromise. Having said that, you are going to be very critical to find too many faults with this lens. The other point to make is that the camera was so much below my budget that I was able to go out and buy another lens. I chose the Sigma APO 70-300 F4-5.6 DG macro and can't recommend it highly enough but that is a different review.
The battery life is outstanding on this camera. The manual says 750 shots but I have filled my 4gb card up which is a scrape under 1000 photos and the battery still had power left. Viewing the pictures back tends to drain it a bit quicker but if you need the maximum battery life the screen can be turned off. The battery meter is in the form of a percentage and is always on display. This is a handy feature as you always know where you stand. It's accurate too as there's no getting to 25% and then dropping like a stone like the fuel gauge on your car. The supplied charger is simple to use and very quick taking a couple of hours or so the charge from completely flat.
Supplied with the kit you get the obvious camera and lens, battery and charger, plus a lovely Sony strap, the software cd, better than average instructions, a couple of lens and accessory leaflets and a clever little gizmo that fits over the view finder to stop light getting in when you are doing long exposures on a tripod. This lives on the strap and you hardly know it's there.
The only extra you will need to get you going is a memory card. I bought a Sandisk Extreme III 4gb and it allows the camera to take photos on continuous setting until the card is full which is 990 images on best quality. These are under 20 now and sometimes even as low as 15. I also recommend buying a book or 2 to get you started on the finer points of SLR photography. I bought Sony DSLR a200 with Cards (Magic Lantern Guides) and Sony A200 (Focal Digital Camera Guides) (Paperback). They are around a tenner each and I bought mine from Amazon. They are very comprehensive and dedicated to the A200. One even has a little credit card sized guide to put in your wallet and carry with you. I have learned so much from these books and I still haven't got anywhere near finishing either of them. I recommend a good well padded bag too. You don't want your investment getting damaged for the sake of a few quid.
So to sum up, an excellent award winning camera and lens at an outstanding price that will make you a better photographer without even trying. Go buy one, you will not be disapointed.
