Summary: A BIG ADJUSTMENT
Comment: After being a Minolta film photographer for 30 years, I finally went digital.(OK....Some of us men are set in our ways!!) After reading the owner's manual, one of the first of several things that I liked about this camera, was the fact that I can adjust the diopter. Being a near-sighted photographer, this meant that I can shoot pictures, without my glasses. What sold me on the Sony DSLR, was the fact that when Sony bought Minolta, they wanted to make the Minolta photographer happy, by making the Sony body fit the Minolta AF lens system. Also depending on which Minolta AF flash unit that you have, it will work with the A200.
In shooting weddings, with the 2GB compact flash card that I have, it will feel kind of nice not worrying about how long, before I have to change the film. As for the results.....I'M IMPRESSED!! For you Minolta fim SLR photographers, who want to go fully digital, this is the camera for you.

Summary: Great Camera
Comment: I ordered this camera off amazon so i could get 1500 reward points on my amazon card; otherwise it is pretty much the same price everywhere.

This is my first SLR type camera and i am very pleased with it. keep in mind that although i did a ton of research, i am writing this review with nothing to compare this camera to because i have never actually used another brand.

I wanted an SLR camera for the shutter speed, quality of the pictures and zoom capabilities. so far i have been pleased with all of these options. there are still many things i need to learn about the camera to really be able to use it to its full potential but i was able to take it out of the box and start taking nice pictures with the automatic settings.

for the money, the sony seems to be the best entry level camera. it is cheap enough to feel like you can upgrade if you decided photography is your thing, and good enough to keep if you are just an amateur like myself.

Summary: Great Product!!!
Comment: This camera is one of the best I have had ever!!! I bought it just before having my baby girl and she looks BEAUTIFUL in every single picture!!! well, she IS the most beautiful thing.
The only bad thing is that is not coming with any storage card... It should have at least one very small.

Summary: WOW!
Comment: This camera far exceeds my expectations. The in-body IS (image stabilization) works like a charm, and i love the fact that i will not have to spend an arm and a leg for a lens kit. My next camera will definitely have this feature. The two lenses that came with this package are great starter lenses, 1 wide angle and 1 telephoto....what more do you need as an amateur photographer? The build quality is pretty good and i do not think it is heavy at all like i heard before purchasing. Thank you Sony!
