Great camera, goofy gadget bag
(5 out of 5) by E. Barnard on Feb 24, 2009 (Albany, NY)The Sony a200 W camera is wonderful. Detail in photos is incredible. I've played with my friends Nikon and the Sony is much easier to use. I particularly like the fact that all of the common settings are addressed by their own buttons. On the Nikon for instance to change the ISO setting you have to pick through the main menu to find the setting. Also the "super steady shot" image stabilization feature is in the camera, not the lens (like the Nikon), so when I use my old Minolta lenses with the Sony (yes they fit), this feature is still available.
The camera was purchased through Amazon from Willoughby's in NYC. It came with the 18 - 70mm lens and also the 75 - 300 mm lens, the 8GB compact flash memory card that will hold over 1900 photos at highest resolution. The battery is also very impressive, although it took 5 hours to fully charge, I've taken hundreds of photos over the last 2 weeks and left the camera on for hours at a time and it still has over 65% of the charge left.
There were also other extras such as the stick-on screen protectors, a cleaning kit, a UV filter, an all-in-one card reader, and a gadget bag.
I have to say the gadget bag that is advertised as a "digital SLR gadget bag" is really the low point. It's an old video camera bag that will not fit the camera or even the extra lens. The bottom was falling out of the one that I received. It must have been hanging around the shop for years.
I am very happy with this purchase though, and I would absolutely recommend this camera to anyone.

Excellent camera/lenses...
(5 out of 5) by Richard W. Vaun on Apr 7, 2009 (Western New York state)Outstanding value for an outstanding camera, the A200W. One cannot help but take a good picture, with little effort,excellent photos can be had. One question... what is/are the differences between an A200, A200K, and an A200W ? Camera is a bit heavy but that represents a well-made, sturdy camera. One demerit for the so-called camera bag. Much too small for this outfit, not a worthwhile add-on. All-in-all, a good camera for a good price...
