Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Alpha A200W 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization with 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 and 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 LensesCustomer Review: LOVE this camera Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a fanboy of any model and don't know a lot about digital photography. Several years ago I purchased a Canon a70 as I was quite involved as an eBay powerseller and needed a small point and shoot to sell my wares. I purchased photoshop and away I went. I was most impressed with the clarity of the a70 images for being less than 4mp.
I've yet to read the entire instruction manual for the a200 as I was told the best way to get familiar with the camera was to simply spend time taking photos. I sense this is excellent advice.
I'm glad I purchased this model (as well as a warranty) as I plan to take many photos of my friends (and pets) as they're lovely people, and well, animals seem to photograph very well.
I am impressed with the number of features on the a200 and I certainly like the anti-shake correction,,,the feature which sold me on this model. I understand that Sony builds the anti-shake feature into the body and most other camera makers build the anti-shake into the lenses?
I was tempted to buy the a350 as I have big hands and it has a bigger body, however, the a350 felt like too much camera as I am new to digital photography. I've yet to play around with the ISO feature however, I understand that the ISO rating related to film speed??
I'm excited to play around with the features and test my luck with taking black and white photos.
I have friend who has a Great Dane and I'm sure she won't mind if I take 20 or 2000 photos of her. I'm somewhat excited to use her image on this years Christmas card.
I am open to any feedback and suggestions. Thanks for reading my post.
Description of Sony Alpha A200W 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization with 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 and 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 LensesThe Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200 camera is perfectly positioned to carry a new generation of photographers into the creative world of DSLR performance. A DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens is included, as well as superb 10.2 megapixel imaging, high-sensitivity shooting, and Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization that reduces blur with a brilliant array of Sony, Carl Zeiss and Minolta a-mount lenses. It s also fast, lightweight and incredibly easy to operate, with a large 2.7 LCD screen, simple Function Guide menu display and Creative Style settings to fine-tune camera performance. The powerful Bionz processing engine is also included to increase response time. A large APS-size CCD imager developed by Sony expands dynamic range and minimizes noise more effectively and provides greater detail for making big prints or cropping in tight on your subject. To keep the CCD imager cleaner for better pictures, the DSLR-A200 utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off. In Auto or some scene selection modes, the camera flash automatically pops up and fires when needed to help you shoot more effectively. For conveniently storing and sharing your images, the a (alpha) DSLR-A200 accepts CompactFlash Type I/II media and Memory Stick PRO Duo media via an optional adapter.
