The Sony Alpha DSLR A200 is the second generation of the company's first digital SLR, the Sony A100. If you are looking for a high quality picture but require a camera that is lightweight and easy to use, the Sony Alpha may be a perfect choice. Sony Alpha reviews often use these two features as an major product feature. But these are only the tip of the iceberg for Sony Alpha reviews.
Another point that Sony Alpha camera reviews state is that this model has a 30% faster, sharper auto-focus than the previous model. What that means to you is that you can more pictures with less wait, because your camera will be ready when you are. In order to get those once-in a lifetime shots your camera needs to be ready to take a picture immediately, without losing the moment to a long mechanical pause.
Sony Alpha reviews also talk about the specially designed LCD menu. Instead having to remember what this knob or that switch control does, a simple on-screen menu allows you to have complete control over the camera. Even if you are a complete novice to using digital photographic equipment, this feature allows you to get started right away. There is even a battery indicator light that gives you an accurate display of how much power is remaining, eliminating the guesswork and avoiding the hassle of a camera that shuts off just at the critical moment.
There is a lot to like about the Sony Alpha A200, from its sleek design to the handy pop-up flash. There are even routines built in to help the camera compensate for a shaky hand, resulting in much sharper images. And clarity is guaranteed with 10.2 megapixels, because this piece of equipment will capture even the most minute details.
We had to give this camera a rating of 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. W subtracted one point because the camera is sometimes more advanced than the user. It may be a trait that most users will outgrow quickly, but can still be somewhat frustrating when you first begin using it.
