 Great DSLR at a great price August 25, 2008
Dennis L. Turner (Odessa, TX)
This camera does it all at a very reasonable price. I like that, unlike Nikon's lower priced cameras, the Sony has auto focus built into the body rather than into the lens. This means lenses are generally less expensive. Autofocus is super quick except in very low light where it seems to have difficulties, but then so do they all. Picture quality is excellent, and I am extremely satisfied with the quality and reliability of the camera. You cannot get a better DSLR at anything close to the price of this one.
Alpha 200, a great entry-level camera for dSLR newbies!!! August 21, 2008

I'm a newbie in the dSLR world. I made a lot of internet research between the distinct models in the market, always looking for good features and lower price. I nailed my choise down to the SONY A200 with the 18-700mm lens, and I can tell you guys, I'm sooooooo happy with it!!!
*- Feels VERY good in my hand.
*- Optical stabilization in the body, not lenses.
*- Very good build quality, for an entry-level dSLR.
*- The kit lens have a bigger optical range (18-70mm) than the others entry-level dSLR (18-55mm).
*- Superb IQ, nothing to envy the entry-level rivals.
I don't hesitate to recommend all of you this camera, you'll not getting dissapointed going with this Alpha, but always keep in mind a couple of things:
*- Is an entry-level budget camera, don't push it beyond limits, is not meant to extreme situations or weather.
*- Remember is the photograph, not the camera who's gonna take the picture. So... GET CREATIVE!!!
Great Camera! August 17, 2008

I shopped around a lot before purchasing this camera and found that comparable cameras were way more expensive than this one. I was a little hesitant but when I received it I found that this camera does not disappoint. So worth the money!
so easy to use! August 14, 2008
Joanne Konecky (long island, ny)
I got this camera for my birthday and I absolutly love it. I found it very easy to use and the pictures come out wonderful. I use the larger lens the most, because of birds, deer, wildlife. It's a great camera for beginners also. I really love it and would highly reccommend it. amazon had the best price.
 Excellent starter outfit August 12, 2008

The 18-70mm kit lens was sharp enough for portraiture at its telephoto focal lengths. All-automatic exposure, focus and flash produced good results on many typical scenes. Both this lens and the companion 75-300mm kit lens should have numerically smaller f-stops, and so I bought a 1.7 used Minolta 50mm lens for serious available light work. Therein lies one of the Sony's attractions: Minolta A-mount lenses work in full auto mode. Sony's proprietary battery is outrageously expensive, but so are batteries for other DSLRs -- even so, it's wise to have a backup battery.
