The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is the follow-on model to Sony’s first DSLR, the entry-level A100, and according to Sony it’s faster, lighter, and easier to use than its predecessor, in addition to providing improved noise control and AF acquisition times. Not having ever had my hands on an A100, I’ll have to defer to Sony on those points My first-ever digital camera was a Sony Mavica F717, which, in spite of lethargic shutter lag, provided an otherwise enjoyable introduction to digital imaging. So, with mostly happy Mavica memories rattling around my brain, let’s see how Sony does with their second try at an entry-level DSLR.
