Good Points

Variable angle LCD, Manual Zoom, the 28MM wide angle is better than other cameras, enlarge-ability of images, Electronic view finder (TTL), custom features (custom white balance, flex focus point), 4x digital zoom, warm/cool filters, good movie mode, and others.


Bad Points

Only expensive Minolta flashes fit the hot shoe, slightly slow to focus in poor light.


General Comments

The Konica Minolta Dimage A200 is an easy-to-use alternative to the expensive Digital SLR. The all-purpose 28 - 200MM (equiv) lens makes it unnecessary to change lenses, and keeps the interior clean. Eight mega-pixels enables the owner to edit and/or process the images without sacrificing quality. The problem of artifacts showing up in images taken at high ISO settings, can easily be corrected by processing with artifact reducing software like PureImage. While the built-in flash is fine for photos under 12 feet, Vivitar makes a flash (DF200) that works well with the A200. Good exposures can be had at fifty feet using direct flash, and bounce flash gives perfect exposures at ISO 200 at f5.6. A 2x teleconverter lens produces a 400mm telephoto effect. The center of the image is quite sharp, with only a slight fall off in sharpness in the corners (at f8).

    Also the CL49-200 close up lens is very useful. It gets around the problem of no macro in the mid zoom range and adds super macro to the existing macro settings.
