@Kate:

For an indoor concert I’ve had good results from setting the shooting mode to sports action, and the ISO to 3200. The high ISO will be a bit noisy, but the alternative is blurry from too low a shutter speed. With image stabilisation I find I can go down to 1/30th without camera shake, but frequently the performers are moving so you need 1/60th or 1/125th to freeze them. Most concerts won’t let you use flash; it’s distracting to the performers and other concert-goers.

If you plan to do a lot of concert photography especially in smaller clubs with poor stage lighting it might be worth getting a fast 50mm prime lens to complement the kit zoom.

Just got this camera. I have a 4GB card. When I try transferring the 293 photos from the camera to my PC, I don’t get all of the images. I remove the card and the same happens at Walmart. Worried that I lost the remaining pictures, when i plug the card back into the camera, I can see the pics are still there! How do I get ALL of my pictures saved on a computer or CD? “Help!”

This is my first DSLR and I like the ease of operation, I am yet to learn a lot about its functions but enjoying it as I learn as the quality of pics taken is automatically very good.

You can only view your image your about to take through the viewfinder on the 300 and 350 series.

I just got this camera. I can’t figure out why I can’t see the image I want to shoot thru the lcd screen & only thru the view finder. My other sony camera was so easy. Can someone help me?

I love the a200. I shoot most of my photos with it using a Quantaray LD 70-300mm Super Macro lens and the 18-70mm Kit lens. The camera is wonderful and easy to use.

camera takes good pictures, good for the price. It has everything i was looking for in my first digital slr camera. super steady shot image stabillization is a plus for me, you can buy lens for half the price if you are on a budget. I also like the live view with its x 1.4 and X 2 which adds extra zoom to any lens(ONLY ON LIVE VIEW) the flip screen lcd is useful when shooting with live view. to shoot different creative shots, overall i am satisfied with my camera and looking forward to learning how to shoot great pictues and develop better skills in photography.
