The sony A200K is a good choice for entry into the worlds of Digital SLR (DSLR) still s cameras, for someone looking to movie away from the cheap and cheerful snappy style digital cameras.

This camera looks great aswell as handles well and is easy to use.

With a 10 megapixel CCD sensor the camera produces a fantastic qprint quality photo, that can be resized to poster size without fear of loss of clarity.

The camera handles low light very well, and can take sharp pictures in lower light levels without having to use a flash

This little marvel of a cmaera also features Enhanced Super SteadyShot image stabilisation which offers 2.5-3.5 steps anti-shake performance with all a-mount lenses
Large 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD with easy-to-use function display and percentage battery life indicator

If you are moving into the DSLR world from standard digital cameras the Sony DSLR A200K is a wonderful starting point. As with any new tech there is a little bit of a learning curve for this camera, though instructions are comprehensive and controls are intuitive.  The actual look of the camera is great, but the feel can be a little cheap or plastic. But for the price you are paying (under 250) this is a small compromise for something so powerful.
