Advantages: Fantastic camera as a first DSLR, can be used with great ease

Disadvantages: Slightly heavier than other models

I have recently purchased the Sony DSLR A200K and it is my first DSLR camera. I am currently studying for a degree in Fine Art and wanted to begin including photography in my work. I looked at several cameras and reviews to find out which would be best within my budget.
So I took a gamble and bought the Sony. It was definitely the best decision! This camera has been fantastic to use ever since getting it out of the box. It has a clear and easy-to-follow manual and all of the functions on the camera can be used with absolute ease. I am so pleased with this camera and think it is the perfect camera to ease me into photography.
As mentioned before, it is incredibly easy to use, as I am not wonderful with new gadgets; I thought it would take me time to learn how to use it. I was wrong, within a few minutes I was adjusting settings and taking great quality photographs. The battery life is also really impressive, lasting for hours. I would happily recommend this camera to any beginners who are about to buy their first DSLR. The only small disadvantage that I can find is that it is very slightly heavier than other DSLR cameras, but it more than makes up for it in all its other qualities. With ten mega pixels and an 18-70mm lense, you really can't go wrong for the money.

Summary: This really is a fantastic camera to use, it has clear functions and is so easy to take great photos
