    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.

    Absolute Bargain price online for a DSLR,
    Shake Reduction built into camera body - works with any lens..
    For the money you can't go wrong.
    USB connector port hidden under plastic flap is annoyingly placed

    Very fast AF and on off shutter lag better then the some of the competition for this price point also.
    I did about 4months of research and found this better ( at least for me ) then even the nikon D40, or D60 maybe even the d80 for that matter as well as the canon XS XT XTI and XSI it performed more too my needs then those cameras did and if your thinking of getting it just make sure you really want a DSLR for the full manuel control such as aperture shutter DOF etc etc etc but also be prepered ...

    I bought this camera as a replacement for a Fuji S9500, although the pixel count is not that much different, 9 million on the Fuji and 10 million on the Sony, I find the Sony blows the Fuji away, but then we are talking compact camera verses DSLR, so not really a fair comparison.

    My camera came with the supplied kit lens, a Sony 18-70mm F3.5-F5.6 and a dealer supplied lens, 70-300mm F4.5-F5.6.

    I've found the 18-70 mm lens to be pretty good quality, unlike some bundled lenses with other cameras ...

    I'm new to digital SLR photography, but I've been using digital compacts for ages for work related stuff, and my old olympus compact gave up the ghost alone with my Fuji Finepix, so I had the ideal excuse! I've been using a Sony compact and was impressed with the battery life. Several friends use Nikons and Canon so I tried those out, but for me the Sony just seemed to work. You can set everything to "Auto" and it's just like a compact without the live display on the back so you have to use the ...
