I bought the Sony A200k (comes with 18-70mm kit lens) in a desperate plea to get into the DSLR world. I have now been using this camera for a couple of years and have found very few faults in it. As a beginner camera, it is perfect, I have nothing bad to say about it; it handles perfectly, has an unbeatable ease of use and the quality of image produced (when done properly) lives up to my expectations. After using it to learn my way through the world of SLR, I can safely say the A200 is ideal for anyone with no experience in SLR and you wont regret buying it.

The only doubts you should have is whether Sony is definately right for you. I thought so, and still stand by them, build and image quality is fantastic, their lenses are great and they are more reliable than any company i know of...but in the camera world, Canon still do rule. I am now studying photography and wish I had gone for Canon! I may even change.

In all, the Sony is great, buy it and you probably wont look back. Just keep in mind, the A200 is very much a beginers model and like everything photographic, you get what you pay for...if you want to go for something that you can keep as your knowledge expands maybe look into the A700. If you are wary of what you can handle, the 200 is perfect. Also consider canon. Do a LOT of research and in the end, go with your gut.
