Let the fun begin...

I waited two months to get my hands on it. It arrived right in the middle of exams! Try as I did to keep my eyes off it, I'd often give up and spend some time with it. Didn't get to do full photoshoots with it though. Now that exams are over, I have all the time in the World.

A quick recap: I bought my Sony A200 from Dubai from a website my cousin had suggested. The price was a killer and I almost wondered if I was being taken for a ride. All doubts were cleared when it finally arrived. The piece is as good as new except for a few creaks and noises here and there.

The specs include an APS-C 10.2 megapixel sensor, 18-70mm kit lens and other standard entry level features. The camera is quite heavy(maybe because it's the first time I held one) for it's plastic body. I donno if it's just me but the button placement seemed really odd. The ISO button
especially.

To 'write' a review, one needs extensive hands on experience of other cameras of the genre. This being my first I can only summarize a few impressions. Peeking through a viewfinder is something I haven't done in a long time. The last time was years ago on my KB10. A200 has no live view meaning I'm left with the viewfinder for framing, be it macros or difficult angles. Assuming weird positions and clicking away is not exactly my cup of tea so let's see how it goes...

No long posts for now...
