REVIEWS :

It looks like in this day and age, we see the reveal of a new digital camera that is designed to please digital photography devotee -- newbie and expert -- all over the world. Earlier this year, Sony revealed its latest Alpha digital SLR, A200. The company published the Sony Alpha 200 as an entry-level model but with serious objectives. The digital camera is developed a tool for those photographers that like to take their shooting skills to a higher level and grow to a higher segment.

Like many mass marketed digital cameras from company as big as Sony, they advertise upon the high resolution that is offered and how high the image condition produced. The Sony Alpha 200 has the set up 10 megapixel Sony CCD but come into the Alpha 700 image parameters and noise reduction through BIONZ image processing. Sony A200 autofocus improvement is on the list of changes from the Alpha 100 that it replaces. Aside from its high image quality, the A200 also offer some great options to improve photography skill.

The DSLR-A200 is a valuable challenger in the entry-level market, offering amazing picture quality, strong performance, great ergonomics and loads of useful exposure options. One feature that stands out is the Super SteadyShot option. This option is designed reduce blurry picture taken from shaky hands, thus reduce the worries for those digital photography enthusiasts with unsteady hands.

As you can probably tell by now, even these are just SOME features that Sony A200 has to offer. In spite of the high pixel and steady shooting feature it has, do keep in mind that the Sony Alpha 200 (A200) is an entry level digital SLR and shall not be compared with mid-range digital SLR such as Olympus E3, Canon 40D or Nikon D300.
