Review (Summary): "The Alpha DSLR-A200 is Sony's new entry-level digital SLR, and the follow-up to their very first one, the DSLR-A100. As you may know, Sony purchased Konica Minolta's digital SLR business back in 2005, and nobody was surprised that the DSLR-A100 was more Minolta than Sony. The A200 has more of a Sony influence, but if you've used a Minolta D-SLR, you'll feel right at home. ...

... Overall, the A200's photo quality was very good, but the difference between RAW and JPEG images is disconcerting. JPEG images are considerably softer than those taken in RAW format, with noticeable noise reduction artifacts starting at ISO 200 in low light, and ISO 800 in good light. The soft-in-the-corners kit lens doesn't help matters, either. The good news is that you can avoid these issues by shooting in RAW, and the bad news is that you then have to post-process each image. ..."
