Sony Alpha DSLR-A200

26 Feb, 2009, 10:41 am IST | by Gagan Gupta | DSLRs DSLRs

The Rs. 27,999 MRP of the A200 is certainly a very tempting deal, but these days you have a pretty good variety of consumer DSLR cameras available in the same range. The camera definitely has some great things going for it, but it certainly does have some drawbacks as well, especially in its design.

The previous model A100, was a very consumer-friendly DSLR camera for its time, and tat was one of the biggest things going for it. But now the category has evolved and just about every other camera manufacturer is offering an easy-to-use DSLR model at an attractive price point. So if you're in the market for a new DSLR, I would suggest you check out the offerings from other manufacturers as well before making your buying decision.
