I was unable to find a particular "how to" answer in the camera manual so I went to Sony's website. I was therefore quite unprepared for my excellent experience.
I'm still in shock. If you're debating between camera manufacturers, this is something to seriously consider before making you choice.
To my amazement, (a) I was immediately connected with someone, (b) she quickly acknowledged that DSLRs were beyond her and she was transferring me to a specialist, (c) the specialist responded a few seconds later.and (d) she correctly answered my detailed and rather technical question. For many years now, most companies' CS strategy has been to promise more and deliver less.
After entering the model number, I was given the option to do a real-time chat. I bought this camera from Amazon one month ago and have been very satisfied with it (and of course, Amazon's great service).
I won't repeat the many pros cited in other Amazon reviews, but I was blown away with Sony's online customer service.
This is truly a wonderfull camera for anybody who wants to get into the SLR Digital Camera world. But taking pics the old fashioned way, looking thru the viewfinder, it's even more realistic down the road. Photographs are excellent, the level of detail that one gets in the pics is amazing, and it is so easy to use. If it's worht mentioning, the only thing that I do not understand why this model does not support it, is the "live view". I, as a beginner, recommend this product 100%. Little by little one gets more use to all its features, but right out of the box, after charging the batteries, it's just point-a-shoot, with all the professional look of it.
My first DSLR and had no problem operating it without reading the manual.[.]. Great camera at an amazing price compared to those in the same price range.
Since then, I have literally taken thousands of photos. I am a beginning DSLR user and bought this camera at the beginning of September, 2008. Before this, I used an older point and shoot. I would recommend this camera to any DSLR user of any experience. While I have no basis for comparison, I believe this to be a very fine camera. Some are great, most are not, but I'm learning as I go. It's user-friendly, takes great photos, has a very fast start up, and is relatively easy to find accessories for.
Being a near-sighted photographer, this meant that I can shoot pictures, without my glasses. 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. For you Minolta fim SLR photographers, who want to go fully digital, this is the camera for you. As for the results.I'M IMPRESSED. 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.
