Digital camera Review: Viewfinder Problems
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this camera in March of 2008, before it was in stores. I have loved this camera. But as I've started to become a better photographer, I am not so fond of this camera afterall.

The problem I am having is this: what I see in the viewfinder is NOT what I get! I wonder if anyone else is having this problem? Mine is shooting high.

I have used friend's cameras and theirs do not have this problem. I bought Sony to be different, to not have the same kind of camera as everyone else. It is looking like I should have gone with the norm.

The DSLR-A200 features upgrades influenced by the recently-introduced, enthusiast-class DSLR-A700 camera and replaces the former Sony DSLR-A100 model, which was Sony's first in the DSLR class. The new DSLR-A200 is designed to be faster, lighter and easier to use. Upgraded features include a wider, 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD screen for easy playback viewing; a more compact body and an easily-accessible mode dial; an easy-to-use function menu (camera function display); improved noise control for higher quality images; an auto focus speed 1.7x faster than the previous model; improved predictive control performance; quieter shutter sound; automatic pop-up flash; and a battery life indicator that displays the percentage of battery life remaining so you know exactly when to recharge. As seen in all a (alpha) camera bodies, the DSLR-A200 camera incorporates Super SteadyShot image stabilization in the body to allow shooting at shutter speeds of 2.5 to 3.5 steps slower than otherwise possible - a benefit realized with every compatible lens attached to the camera. Compatible lenses encompass all Minolta Maxxum mount lenses, in addition to Sony a (alpha) lens lineup - including Carl Zeiss lenses.
