Issue 20/2008 Single test |
MacUser suggested that at such a low price, many of the A200's minor niggles can be almost forgotten but when it comes to image quality, it faces its stiffest competition with cameras such as the Canon EOS 1000D still having the edge.

"A List",
"Labs Winner"
Sony entered the DSLR market with the sole intention of conquering this increasingly fierce market in as short a time as possible. With the A200 the company has proved that it has the knowledge and manufacturing infrastructure to release a feature-packed camera at a staggeringly low price. PC Pro suggests this is the best amateur DSLR out there and at the price, will remain competitive for a long while yet.

"Silver Award"
"With a low price and capable of producing high quality images, Digital Photo was somewhat impressed by Sony's new camera. Especially the in-camera stabilisation system, which only adds to the camera's value for money, was singled out for praise. However, without any major upgrades, the magazine's review staff found the A200 more of a refresh than a significant upgrade."

Summary of Sony Alpha A200
The Sony Alpha A200 digital SLR camera seems to have set itself up as the one to beat, coming out on top in a group test in TIPA - European Photo & Imaging Awards and PC Pro magazines.
The digital SLR camera was tested in 10 different magazines and was, in general, positively received.
Its highest score of "outstanding" (5 out of 5 stars) came from Practical Photography magazine which tested the Sony Alpha A200 in their Spring/2008 issue. MacUser magazine (20/2008), gave the product its lowest score; a rating of 4 out of 5 points, which says a lot about its quality.
The Sony Alpha A200 was also able to walk away with the "Recommended" (TrustedReviews 2/2008), "Best Buy" (Practical Photography Spring/2008), "Silver Award" (Digital Photo 5/2008), and "A List" (PC Pro 11/2008) prizes.
