CNET Editors' review - Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 (with 18-70mm lens)
CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Lori Grunin
The good: In-body image stabilization; supports wireless flash.
The bad: Loud; Sony doesn't have a stable of inexpensive lenses for consumers; oddly located, proprietary USB connector.
The bottom line: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR that doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field.
