Yes Carl, I have ... I have non as yet posted here and I'm not sure if I'm permitted to link to an off-site.
I have only had the Sony for a couple of weeks, but in that time I have already goten to grips with DSLR features.
Why I chose the a200 is quite simple ...
I can hold it
Has in-body-stabilisation ... and it works.
Price ... I bought mine here at an independent camera shop, £269.99 incl 2 year warranty ... a well known shop wanted £289.
Don't let me twist your arm over the a200 ... I agree with others when looking for your first DSLR ... go to a shop and play with them all ... is what I did also ... the Sony ticked all my boxes.
It's take me nearly 8 months ... but I am well chuffed with my choice.
Mucks
