As we know sony alpha series is best for naive or experienced photographers. The focus points and the colour calibration makes it a great deal at that price. Sony alpha DSLRaA200 is great with video but it lacks a mile in shooting photos. Nickon does the great work in photos but not in shooting videos comparatively. Its all depends on the costumes, if one is looking for great photos go with nikon or other cameras. If looking for great video clarity go with sony(it doesnt mean it does terrible at photos-compare to other cameras it lacks).
