Sony DSLR-A200 user reviews Date: 2008-01-08 - 11:09:17 Author: Henry-23 Rating:    I'd have guessed that an A200 would have had the 12Mp CMOS to get the Jump on the Nikon D90 and Canon 450D ---- and have the A700's AF too -- but it would seem that Sony didn't take that initiative and Sadly lamed out ..

The AF sensor has a new motor [yes that's what they write] and a special AF button makes it simple for the photographer to switch to centre weighted focus, making it easier to focus on small subjects. With innovative noise reduction and image processing technology from the advanced A700, the A200 delivers excellent image quality even under difficult conditions.

It's high ISO-noise response appears to be rather typical of Intro-DSLR cameras, so inter-manufacturer comparisons are relatively on a per shot basis. Could this be improved? Yes ... when you pony-up and buy the α700! It has a CMOS-sensor versus a CCD, and that makes for more controlled noise response.

So, why did I buy the \'baby-model\' in the Alpha range now? Because it has al the features I am likely to need. And you are not llikely going to need more than 10MP, even if you occasionnally use your camera professionally, as I do. I have used the Alpha 100 for a year professionally and became to love that camera a lot. In comparison with the Canon 350 and 400 - which I also like for their quality and features - the body feels more tough. The a200 is more or less the same as the a100, but it has the Fn -button which makes working with sophisticated features as 2n curtain flash and the AF-modes far more easy. It is very easy to make instant good pictures with everything in Auto-position. Collegues that use digital compacts regularly can also use the Alpha with great succes and ease. I think being able to use Minolta lenses is a great advantage, even if you have no history with SLR\'s; there are a lot of Minolta-mount lenses around for you at great value-for-money. I also like the size. It is not as small as the Nikon budget models. You do have something to hold, which means that - with a steady hand - you\'re probably not going to need the Super SteadyShot feature. But then again it is there when you are likely to need it. I hope Sigma, Tamron etc. will rapidly extent their range of Minolta/Sony-mount lenses, which will further enhance the attraction of the Sony range. One last recommendation is for anybody who has never used an SLR: go for the Alpha 300. The Live View is a great feature, especially if other members of your family are using the camera as well. Problems: Connecting my ancient 2.8/28mm and 3.5-4.5/100-200mm Minolta lenses does make a particular sound after I have attached the lens to my camera. The AF motor seems to be looking for the attachment in the lens. But they both work fine and a lot faster then on the first ever SLR autofocus system on my 9000...
