PhotographyBLOG Review: Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200
 The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 was first announced in September 2004 and sits just under the DiMAGE A2 in the Konica Minolta pecking order. The DiMAGE A200 has a unique CCD-shift anti-shake mechanism that enables you to take sharp photos at slower shutter speeds than ever before, plus a manual zooming ring that really makes a difference to the handling. Other noteworthy features include the vari-angle LCD monitor, which rotates 270° vertically and 180° horizontally, the 7x wide-angle optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 28-200mm on a 35mm SLR camera, and the 8 megapixel sensor which produces massive image sizes that are perfect for large prints. So do all of these features work together to make the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 a technological tour-de-force, or is the camera less than the sum of its parts? Find out in my extensive review.

I had been looking for a camera with applications for botanical records and for fast action cycling pictures. The poor low light response and slow autofocus make this model appear to be a poor choice for these dual requirements.

I've read your conclusions on the A200. On the whole Iagree with your conclusions. However, one some points I digress. Firstly the EVF. I upgraded from a canon a75 with optical vieuwfinder. In the last century I used a Praktika SLR. Compared with these two I found the EVF very usable and clear. It was no problem to focus manually using the evf. I think I digress because I UPGRADED to the A200 and the reviewer DOWNGRADED from a DSLR. A point in favour of the EVF is that it exhibits no "Tunnel view", as compared to some DSLR.
Secondly the autofocus. True, when you use the autofocus FRAME the A200 is a bit slow. (although not compared to the Canon A75). But when I use a single frame autofocus with manually selecter white balance, the A200 really speeds up. No problem catching animals, children and high speed trains.
I think we have to consider the fact that this camera is NOT a dslr. That's also exactly the reason why I chose it: lightweight, good picture quality and allround lens in one package.
