Product Rating: 4.75 star(s) Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 Review

Comments:
Sony's start into the world of Digital SLRs was quite a slow paced one. The first Sony branded model, the A100, appeared on the scene in June 2006 and it took over a year for it to be joined by a companion, the A700 prosumer model which was launched in Se

QuickTake:

Pros: Good detail at lowest sensitivities (but some loss of low-contrast detail when shooting jpeg), Class leading battery life (displayed as a percentage), Sophisticated AF system for this class of camera, Large viewfinder, Solid construction (although slightl
Cons: Poor rendition of low-contrast detail in JPEG (shoot RAW to avoid this), AF button (multi-controller) can unintentionally be operated with your nose (if you're left-eyed), Large amounts of chroma noise and little shadow detail in high ISO images, Longer t

Comments:
The Alpha A200 is Sony's third DSLR and the successor to its debut model, the best-selling Alpha A100. Launched at CES in early January 2008, the A200 is Sony's new entry-level DSLR, and as we learnt at the PMA show a few weeks later, the base model upon

Review Verdict: Sony's Alpha A200 may only sport minor improvements over its predecessor, but holds an important position in the new Alpha range. As discussed above, it represents the entry-level base model upon which subsequent models build. So while it may not have Liv

Does this new entry-level model deliver?

Review Verdict: Out of the box the EOS 1000D is easy to use and delivers great results, but, this is a busy sector of the market and the EOS 1000D does look a little on the pricy side

Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 Camera Review

Comments:
Sony, a major force in the compact camera market for years now, has come on strong in the SLR arena in the past two years. The company's entry-level SLR, the Alpha A200,  demonstrates the company's ability to deliver a lot of bang for very little buck. It

Review Verdict: The A200 looks much like any other SLR. It has a matte black body, with a rubberized large grip (in this case substantial enough for even the largest-pawed user). The quality of the body belies its low price. It has a nice heft in your hands, and feels as

Product Rating: 4.15 star(s) Sony Alpha A200, our new top pick for budget DSLR

Comments:
For a DSLR that does everything an amateur is ever likely to want, with a terrifyingly cheap price tag, look no further.

Review Verdict: The new models look less utilitarian than the chunky old A100. The body is larger than the EOS 1000D and D40, with an overall weight that's noticeably but not terribly higher

Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 Digital Camera - Full Review - The Imaging Resource!

Comments:
Sony's Alpha A200 is a relatively minor revamp to the electronics giant's first digital SLR, the A100, which itself was a more significant step up from the Konica Minolta 5D. The Sony A200 is lighter and smaller than the A100, and a good deal easier to us

Review Verdict: Sony's Alpha-mount lens system is the oldest SLR autofocus system in the business, going back 28 years, so there's a broad and growing selection of lenses to choose from

QuickTake:

Pros: Good body size, solid feel ; Easy to learn and use ; Great grip ; No-nonsense design ; 10.2-megapixel sensor ; Function button makes access to commonly used functions easy ; Good menu design for quickly moving among selections ; Dynamic Range Optimization
Cons: Kit lens is slightly soft in the corners ; Advanced DRO slows camera down when shooting rapidly ; Pop-up flash doesn't go very high ; Infrared sensor activates AF system when you don't want it to, like when you're just holding the camera ; Proprietary fla
