Bought my first camera - Sony DSLR-A200K. What do you think?

dmitri · 29 Jan 2009

I am just a beginner and bought my first digital SLR. A few people recommended to go for Cannon, but they are a bit pricy. So this Sony DSLR-A200K matched my budget perfectly.

Came to £300 together with a 4GB memory card and a carry bag. Pretty good deal I think.

What do you think?

Just got the A300 and very impressed, could live without liveview so I can imagine the A200 is cracking as well.

I think its a DSLR and I hope you enjoy it, I'm sure it was a good deal to you and am sure you will enjoy taking photo's with it.

Looks like you got a cracking deal there! Did you get a lens with it? If so which one?

Don't forget you can claim cash back if bought before the 31st Jan. Claim form on Sony web site, it is £30 for the a200

Great! Thanks a lot. £30 is not too bad at all, especialy with the current market situation.

Cheers

Ye, got the lens as well. Came together with the camera, so I am not too sure which one it is
