    Bought a Sony A200K yesterday, it's a lovely camera. Still dont know how to use the darn thing :p

    Anyone have any experience with this camera or with sony at all?

    I started with a100 and recently upgraded to a700 both are great cameras, I can see myself sticking to the a700 for a good while, it does everything I want (at the moment) :D The reason I chose Sony in the first place was I had Minolta lenses that were compatible so didnt see the point in going any other way.

    You will soon find your way around it, but keep the manual handy so that you can refer to it when needed. I have added to my lens collection but not with Sony lenses as they are quite expensive, mainly used Sigma and Tamron for affordable glass and a flash, have both the Sigma and Sony flash, both are excellent and can be used off camera (wireless) very handy for an impromptu studio setup.

    Best of luck with it and just get out there and use it.......enjoy :D

    Congrats, and happy snapping!

    I'm going to be back on day shift in two weeks, so I'll drop you a PM, and maybe you could point out some areas of interest in Maynooth?
