Essential Info

The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A200K camera is a fast, lightweight and incredibly easy-to-operate high-resolution camera designed to carry a new generation of family photographers into the creative world of DSLR performance. With a large 2.7-inch LCD screen, 10.2 MP imaging and SteadyShot® to assist in photo stabilization, the Sony DSLR-A200K is the perfect camera for taking stunning shots of the family, brilliant photos of the big game, or dazzling shots of the natural beauty that surrounds us. The simple Function Guide gives you direct access to all of the camera's functions on the LCD, including control of the Creative Style settings, which help fine-tune the camera's performance. No longer will you have to wait to take the next shot, thanks to the powerful built-in Bionz™ processing engine, which speeds camera-response time. Use the DSLR-A200 to zoom in to capture the moment with any number of compatible Sony, Carl Zeiss® and Minolta a-mount lenses. Capturing beautiful color images can be accomplished even in low -light conditions, thanks to ISO 100 to ISO 3200 sensitivity range and high-ISO noise-reduction technology, which reduces picture noise.

The Sony A200 has been compared to some Canon and Nikon camera models priced at nearly twice as much.

    10.2 MP Super HAD™ CCD
    Superb image quality gives you great DSLR shots right from the start, with a large APS-size CCD imager developed by Sony to expand dynamic range, minimize noise more effectively and provide greater detail for making big prints or cropping in tight on your subject.

    Expanded ISO Sensitivity
    The broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables the α (alpha) DSLR-A200K to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light; high ISO noise-reduction technology reduces picture noise artifacts at high-sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 settings by eliminating noise from RAW data after analog-to-digital conversion.

    Super SteadyShot® In-Camera Image Stabilization
    A high-performance sensor detects vibrations, and the image stabilization system automatically compensates. Because image stabilization is built into the α (alpha) DSLR-A200K, every lens benefits — and with an advantage of from 2.5 to 3.5 stops, you can shoot effectively at higher shutter speeds even in very low light with minimum blur from shaky hands or fast-moving subjects.

    Bionz Image Processor
    The "brain" of the α (alpha) DSLRA200K is the advanced Sony Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images with rich tonal reproduction, improved white balance and exposure control, and expanded D-Range Optimizer capabilities. With 2- channel data transfer from CCD to processor, this camera can also respond more quickly.

    Dynamic Range Optimizer
    To improve results with backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in glare, the α (alpha) DSLR-A200K provides Dynamic Range Optimizer at two levels: Normal DRO, to improve detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, or Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic range area by area for the greatest precision.

    Anti-Dust Technology
    Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera -- so to keep the CCD imager cleaner for better pictures, the α (alpha) DSLR-A200K utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.

    Auto Pop-Up Flash
    In Auto or some scene selection modes, the camera flash automatically pops up and fires when needed to help you shoot more effectively. Flash is canceled in Landscape, Sport or Sunset modes and in "Flash Off" position on the Exposure Mode dial.

    Eye-Start Auto-Focus System
    This system begins precision auto focus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye, so unlike some DSLR cameras that don't start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed, the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A200K never slows down your ability to catch fast action.

    9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor
    A fast-focus motor and improved focus control help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, with predictive focus control that automatically calculates the position of a fast-moving subject.

    Flexible, Accurate Exposure Control
    A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy — and you can also select center-weighted or spot-metering modes. You'll also have 6 preset white-balance control settings and RGB histogram display to check color balance.

    Scene Selection Modes
    Along with auto exposure, the α (alpha) DSLR-A200K gives you scene selection modes to optimize camera performance for Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset and Night Portrait/Night View situations.

    Creative Style Settings
    To express your creativity and personal taste, you can adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness settings for any of 8 finishing styles -- including Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B & W and Adobe RGB modes.

    2.7" Clear Photo™ LCD Screen
    A large built-in screen with antireflective coating makes it easy to read camera setup menus even in bright sunlight and improves image quality when you check your shots.
