Our Take If Live View is not an important feature to you then you wont find a DSLR camera that offers more value than the Sony A200. The A200 offers the widest ISO range available in its class and it is definitely not a stripped entry model as you fin...
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...
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 youre left-eyed), Large amounts of chroma noise and little shadow detail in high ISO images, Longer th...
If youre currently in the market for an entry-level DSLR and youve come across the Sony DSLR-A200 one of the first things you have probably noticed is its incredibly tempting price point. If your budget is limited the A200 is by default one of your ...
Abstract: This is a basic camera that opens up the world of SLR photography to users with more enthuasiasm than cash. The A200 does have some significant limitations: manual controls are difficult to access, and its lab performance wasnt terrific. But those te...
Good image and color quality/range of adjustments, Stabilized/dust reduction sensor, Accepts a variety of lenses, Good AF and shutter response,
Plastic used in lens body seems questionable as to durability, Sony Alpha DSLRA200
The A200 is the second iteration of Sony's entry-level DSLR, and I don't know how good the first one was, but this one isn't bad at all. There are some nice features present for an entry-level camera – notably dust reduction, in-camera stabilization, ...
Abstract: Easy to use, easy to carry and offered at a very attractive price with its 18-70mm zoom lens, the Sony Alpha 200 is a dream camera for beginners who want to start enjoying all the benefits of D-SLR photography. Its 10.2 megapixel sensor delivers top q...
Abstract: Review Introduction The Sony Alpha A200 is largely based on the Alpha A100, Sonys first DSLR, which was largely based on Konica-Minoltas Maxxum 5D. Each step produced a DSLR increasingly Sony-styled. The A200 gives off an even more Sony-like appeara...
Quick AF, new Fn button, noise control improvements over A100
Handling quirks, no major upgrades, antidust could be more effective
The A200 is further confirmation that Sony deserves its slice of the DSLR market. Admittedly, there’s nothing here that is particularly revolutionary, and the upgraded features don’t make a world of difference, but the focus with this model is...
Viewed in isolation, the A200 is an unremarkable re-working of the A100, with slightly improved auto-focusing, a more Sony-like, refined control layout with less dials and more menu screens, and the same great image quality up to ISO 800. Current A100...
Very good photo quality at lower ISO settings or in RAW mode, Well built, easytohold body, Sensorshift image stabilization reduces blur on most legacy Minolta and all forthcoming Sony lenses, Dust reduction system, Full manual controls, RAW image forma...
Soft JPEG photos, with too much noise reduction above ISO 200 (in low light) and ISO 800 (in normal light), Great RAW photo quality shots that camera is capable of producing much better looking JPEGs, Sluggish low light focusing, Small viewfinder can b...
The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a very capable entry-level D-SLR that needs improvement in one important area: JPEG photo quality. The A200 offers a lot of bang for the buck, with its 10 Megapixel CCD, built-in image stabilization, snappy performance, and ...
