Above expectations September 26, 2008
I was a bit afraid a Sony camera wouldn't match the performance of those manufacturers with more experience as Nikon or Canon, but it did! For me, the best value for price that you can get in the market nowadays.

I have owned several high end compact digital cameras and was aware that they only really took great shots in perfect light conditions. Really wanted a Nikon but when comparing features the sony is soo much cheaper to buy.
The camera feels well made and is very simple to use, the grip is good and controls make sense. Images are really amazing if you are used to a compact. The automatic mode is fine, just point and shot, not at all technical. If this is your first DSLR will be very happy.
Some minor downsides (only being picky), the shutter is a little noisy, the Auto Focus is constantly working if you carry the camera switched on and the standard lens is by no means it's strong point but fine for beginners. The screen does smudge very easily so I would recommend buying some stick on screen protectors.
Overall I love this camera and has exceeded my hopes.
thank you Sony, I'm sure canon and Nikon are looking worried.
PS Data comes off the camera to the computer really fast, when ordering be aware memory card and camera may ship on separate days, I was so excited to start using my camera I had to buy a card in Jessops and get ripped off.

This is my first slr digital camera, i did my research and it was between the nikond40 and the sony alpha200...i chose the sony after handling it in a camera shop, reading every review i could get hold etc etc...i bought it friday as a package deal with the lens it comes with a further lens, 4gb card, bag, filter and three years accidental damage cover for four hundred and seventy. Now i know i could have got a more expensive camera and saved up and bought lenses but i am soooo glad i took the plunge and bought the sony alpha200 it is amazing....i have spent all day today taking photos i went into the woods and to a flower and veg show and to a graveyard and the photos are amazing i cannot believe i took them..The camera is easy to use i still have a lot to learn basically i just used auto, portrait, landscape and close up and the results are beautifull...I am no expert I am a total begineer so have zero experience but i am sooooo happy..Have being playing around with photoshop and im so pleased...So if you are a total virgin on the slr front then this is the camera for you but if not then read the other reviews but im a happy bunny

After deliberating for some considerable time over whether I could really justify upgrading to a Digital SLR from my perfectly competent Cybershot (DSC-W50), I finally took the plunge after finding the A200 at such a reasonable price on Amazon. I am so glad I managed to convince myself the purchase could be justified - the A200 is an excellent entry-level camera: simple-to-use; well-built; and takes some awesome photographs, despite my never having shown any appreciable talent in the field of photography in the past.
Overall, very highly recommended.
