jimjam: Sony dslr A200 (10. Mär 2008 23:26)

Hi everyone, i know quite a few of you are quite into your cameras, so i was wondering if any of you have come across/own a sony A200.

The reason i am asking is i have just ordered one and all of the online reviews were great but i know you all have a keen eye for a camera!!!

Thanks :D

I have a same question too
My dad bought this semi prof camera, i know sounds expensive and dam well was
£699 for the camera and a lens (pack) I was like :violent02:
He said tho it was for him and me and it is a life long thing and bla bla bla...
Any the camera is Nikon D80 and found that making stop motion animation form it was quite amazing anyway back to topic
I tried taking pic of my ants and well it inst macro... so I was wondering if any of you lot have expierience with macro lenses for nikon
plus my dad wont dare try lenses and stuff which isnt recommended for this cam
cant blame him if it was £700 though
any tips would be appreciated as I really want to macro shoot my ants :cam:

I have a Sony Alpha Digital DSLR-A100 with a macro lens and i'm still trying to use it correctly. The picture is take a nice but not great. I would help you guys if i knew how. ;)

You can find a lot of info about Macro pictures on the net. And lot of practise of course. :)

Mine is great, i have a bit of a manual (in English) from a Sony, i had it from mpir. I think i still have it one my pc, if you like i can send it to you, but it is big so better on msn.
It is helpful but still you need a lot of practise. :)
