Sony DSLR-A200
January 10 | Posted by Andri Kurniawan | Digital Camera, Digital SLR, New Gadgets
Somewhat unexpectedly, Sony has announced the A200 at CES (rather than PMA), the follow up to the aging A100. Opting out of the megapixel race, Sony has kept the A200 at the same 10.2 megapixels that the A100 had. Instead, Sony has introduced more subtle upgrades/updates and made the A200 more of a Sony product – as opposed to a rebadged Konica Minolta. In hindsight, the CES announcement may be more fitting because of Sony’s desire to market this as more of a “consumer” camera than to the budding amateur photographer.
The A200 is priced at $700 with the 18-70mm kit lens and $900 for the kit with an additional 75-300mm lens. The A200 will begin shipping in February 2008.
