Even I can use it!
I bought this camera for my hobby-photographer husband. His last camera was a Canon AE1.... He is completely electronically challenged, but he's taking awesome pictures with this camera. I've never done anything but point-and-shoot photography myself, and while I've used a digital camera for years, it's been a Kodak Easy-share. I have no clue about aperture, exposure, or anything else. But I CAN tell you that until I used this camera, I've never got a shot of the moon that wasn't seriously bl...

Sony Alpha DSLR A-200 Exceptional Camera
This is my third SLR and my second DSLR. I could not have imagined the quality of the pictures the Sony A-200 produces. Even after enlarging the quality is still clear. I am greatfull to Sony for this camera and I could not want for anything else.
The Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200 camera is designed to be faster, lighter and easier to use than its predecessor - the DSLR-A100. With its 10.2-megapixel (effective) Super HAD APS-C sized CCD image sensor, the DSLR-A200 camera captures high-quality images with increased sensitivity, reduced image noise and greater detail.
The Sony BIONZ processing engine provides data-rich picture information at high speeds and reduces picture noise in the RAW data stage before image JPEG conversion. The results are high-resolution, detailed images with rich tonal reproduction. The DSLR-A200 camera also incorporates Sony's Super SteadyShot image stabilization in the body to allow shooting at shutter speeds of 2.5 to 3.5 steps slower than otherwise possible and since the stabilization system is built into the camera body, every compatible lens attached to the camera (including all Minolta Maxxum and Sony Alpha lens) benefits from it.
The DSLR-A200 model supports JPEG and RAW file formats and it records images on CompactFlash (Type I & II) media cards. An adaptor for Memory Stick Duo media cards is sold separately as an accessory. The camera has other upgraded features including a more compact body with an easily-accessible mode dial; an easy-to-use function menu (camera function display); an auto focus speed that is 1.7x faster than the previous model; improved predictive control performance; quieter shutter sound; automatic pop-up flash; and a battery life indicator that displays the percentage of battery life remaining so you know exactly when to recharge.
The camera's 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD screen provides easy playback viewing. Its vibrant, easy-to-view screen features 230K-pixel resolution, an anti-reflection coating and a glare-reducing layer that assures vivid, accurate colors with a wide viewing angle, even in daylight. The on-screen navigation display shows camera settings and key shooting information in large, easy-to-read text and the display's orientation automatically switches from landscape to portrait position when the camera is turned on its side.
