    Product Information
    Set your creativity free. The Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200 camera is poised to welcome you into the exciting world of DSLR performance. A DT 18-70mm and a 75-300mm lenses are included here, as well as superb 10.2-megapixel imaging, high-sensitivity shooting, and Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization that reduces blur with a brilliant array of Sony, Carl Zeiss and Minolta a-mount lenses. It's also fast, lightweight and incredibly easy to operate, with a large 2.7" LCD screen, simple Function Guide menu display and Creative Style settings to fine-tune camera performance. The powerful Bionz processing engine is also included to increase response time.Superb image quality gives you great DSLR shots right from the start, with a large APS-size CCD imager developed by Sony to expand dynamic range, minimize noise more effectively and provide greater detail for making big prints or cropping in tight on your subject.Broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables the ± (alpha) DSLR-A200 to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light - with High ISO Noise Reduction technology that reduces picture noise artifacts at high-sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 settings by eliminating noise from RAW data after analog-to-digital conversion.A high-performance sensor detects vibrations and the image stabilization system automatically compensates. Because image stabilization is built into the ± (alpha) DSLR-A200, every lens benefits - and with an advantage of from 2.5 to 3.5 stops, you can shoot effectively at higher shutter speeds even in very low light with minimum blur from shaky hands or fast-moving subjects.The "brain" of the ± (Alpha) DSLR-A200 is the advanced Sony Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images with rich tonal reproduction, improved white balance and exposure control, and expanded D-Range Optimizer capabilities. With 2-channel data transfer from CCD to processor, your camera can also respond faster.To improve results with backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in glare, the ± (alpha) DSLR-A200 provides Dynamic Range Optimizer at two levels: Normal DRO, to improve detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, or Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic range area-by-area for the greatest precision.Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera - so to keep the CCD imager cleaner for better pictures, the ± (alpha) DSLR-A200 utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.In Auto or some scene selection modes, the camera flash automatically pops up and fires when needed to help you shoot more effectively. Flash is cancelled in Landscape, Sport or Sunset modes and in "Flash Off" position on the Exposure Mode dial.Eye-Start Autofocus System begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye - so unlike some DSLR cameras that don't start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed, the Sony ± (alpha) DSLR-A200 never slows down your ability to catch fast action.A fast focus motor and improved focus control help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, with predictive focus control that automatically calculates the position of a fast-moving subject.A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy - and you can also select center-weighted or spot metering modes. You'll also have 6 preset White Balance control settings and RGB Histogram display to check color balance.Along with auto exposure, the ± (alpha) DSLR-A200 gives you scene selection modes to optimize camera performance for Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset and Night Portrait/Night View situations.To express your creativity and personal taste, you can adjust contrast, saturation ...

    CNET Editors' review

    Very Good
    • THE GOOD

      In-body image stabilization; supports wireless flash.

    • THE BAD

      Loud; Sony doesn't have a stable of inexpensive lenses for consumers; oddly located, proprietary USB connector.

    • THE BOTTOM LINE

      The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR that doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field.

    Amazing camera ..!!

    Created: 04/24/10
    Great camera. Dont be fooled by so called 'Entry Level' tag given to this camera by others. I personally believe its the person who take great pictures not the camera. But if you want to take anything then this camera wont let you down. You can take pro level pics very easily with this camera. Best feature - super steady shot (SSS). I am using lot of old M42 lenses which are about 30-40 years old with this camera and SSS feature helps me to have steady shot even with these old lenses.

    This old version is much better than the newer sony a230 because it has much better grip and believe me it makes a BIG difference. Your fingers will hurt a lot after 3-4 hrs of shooting if you dont have good grip. I will highly recommend this camera if you are on budget. But if you have some money to spare then go for sony a700 which has better features (DOF preview button, mirror lock up, better noise reduction, better AF speed). But it is almost twice the price. Buy a200 not a230. This will actually save you some money !!

    Sony DLSR A-200 Camera and accessory review

    Created: 12/06/10
    I like very much everything about the camera. I've been taking wildlife pictures for a long time and this will imporove both the quality of my pics and my ability to zoom in close.

    Another positive point is that I have and still ocassionally use a Minolta Film camera and I just learned that my lenses and flash are compatable with this Sony.

    That's why I opted to "buy in now" for the sellers asking price. The price which was a substational saving over what Amazon was asking at the time.

    I'd recommend both this product and this seller very highly.

    Very nice camera

    Created: 01/07/10
    First of all, I am not a professional photographer, so this camera is not meant to be used professionally. Having said that it is a very nice camera. It has settings for night shots, extremely close up shots, videos and more. It has an "auto" setting where it automatically adjusts the zoom, and everything else, including flashing multiple times to eliminate red eye. I doubt I will ever use all of the capabilities of this camera, but I am positive that it will do any kind of picture I need to do. I have taken some excellent shots with it and I have only had it a few days, and I haven't even started to explore the myriad of possible settings. WHAT A GREAT CAMERA!

    Sony alpha A200

    Created: 02/01/10
    Wow! Super Steady Shot is fantastic! Very user friendly! Have always loved Sony cameras with Carl Zeiss lenses. Was reluctant to step away from that but am so pleased that we did! Outstanding all around with great auto function results!
