      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 ...

      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

      REVIEW-SONY a200 DSL with 18-70mm and 75-300mm lenses

      Review summary: The camera with two lenses is sold as a kit. It has a 10mp sensor with in-body image stabilisation. There is automatic dust removal and the battery has exceptional capacity. The battery meter shows percentage of charge remaining. As part of its ...

      Pros: Auto white balance is good and auto exposure is consistently accurate. Control layout is good. On camera flash is above average. Compact Flash memory cards are used as well as Sony's Memory Stick.

      Cons: The lenses are disappointing. Focus is slow, noisy and haphazard. Contrast and sharpness are not as good as the competition. The longer lens has a stiff zoom mechanism and manual focus is not practicable on either lens because the control ring has no ...

      Verdict: This camera enters a hotly contested field where Pentax, Nikon, Olympus and Canon are the competitors. Nikon and Olympus provide the best budget optics and set the standard. The excellent Pentax K10D is advertised at $1100 with a modest Sigma lens, a ...
