  Sony A200 | Our Review | TechRadar UK
  
  Review summary: The A200 is a good camera, but one that's spoilt by too many rough edges
  
  Pros: Great value for money; Good LCD display; Plenty of features
  
  Cons: Feels cheap; Awkward handling; Poor quality lens
  
  Verdict: The grip on the right of the camera is only tall enough for about three normal-width fingers, and it does leave your fingernails scraping the lens flange

  Sony Alpha DSLR-A200
  By Lori Grunin
  
  Review summary: The entry-level Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 delivers a simple, no-nonsense approach to shooting. This 10-megapixel snapper shows off a solid yet simple design and a straightforward control system. You'll get good performance too, which keeps it on par with its c
  
  Pros: In-body image stabilisation; supports wireless flash
  
  Cons: Loud shutter sound; Sony doesn't have a stable of inexpensive lenses for consumers; oddly located, proprietary USB connector
  
  Verdict: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR, but it doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field
