Upgrade from a Sony A200 to a ......?? Which Sony DSLR?

[Igor]

i cant decide between these cameras. there all sony as i have a few sony lenses and kit:

A500, A550, A560, A580

money is a little bit of an issue but id be selling my mint a200 with battery grip etc to help fund the new camera

this has been driving me nuts for ages. should i settle for the A500 or maybe save up for a little longer for the higher spec ones?

anyone please help :bang::bonk:

Given the small difference in price, I'd be inclined to grab an A550 over an a500, as the a550 has a better sensor with improved high ISO performance. The A580 will doubtless improve things further (it shares the same incredible sensor as the Nikon D7000 and Pentax K-5 have), and thus should also have amazing dynamic range and the joint best high ISO of all 1.5x crop cameras. It'll cost you a lot more tho

Hmmmmm, these are the prices I've found them for all new

A500 + lens - £350
A550 body - £400
A580 body - £500

It's probably worth getting the A580?!?

I would wote for the a580 . for a 500 I think it's a bargain !
