Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200

 

On paper the A200's an ideal camera for those trading up to something more ‘serious' and those wishing to grow with their digital photography hobby. But does the camera live up to its spec sheet?

Compact and ergonomic design, ‘true’ 28-200mm F2.8, 7x optical zoom lens, great image quality and manual features.

Slow AF and camera can fire before focus is properly achieved without care taken when using the sensitive shutter button.

The overall balance between a point and shoot camera and one that offers high resolution and manual control is about right here. The downside to the package is that you'll have to deal with an overly sensitive shutter button and sluggish Auto Focus.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200

 

With its eight-megapixel sensor and mechanically linked 28-200mm zoom lens, the A200 genuinely gives you the power of an SLR at the price of a compact. If you can live with its sluggish shooting speed, questionable low light auto-focus and a few interface

Konica Minolta DiMAGE 200 review

 

Based on the DiMAGE A2, Konica Minolta's DiMAGE 200 (the one with the unique swivel flip-out LCD), the 8 megapixel prosumer cam with a 7x optical zoom and Anti-Shake stabilization, is set to arrive in stores within a few weeks. Megapixel.net reviews...

Konica Minolta Dimage A200 review

 

Review summary The Konica Minolta Dimage A200 takes the basic formula of its older stablemate, the excellent Dimage A2 , and scales it back somewhat. The A2's remarkable electronic viewfinder is gone, and the new model's performance is noticeably less...

Versatile flip-and-swivel LCD; manual rings for zoom and focus; antishake image stabilization; comprehensive exposure controls and image adjustments.

Mediocre EVF; subpar low-light AF performance; long raw and raw-and-JPEG shot-to-shot times.

This competent 8-megapixel camera sacrifices the great EVF and the speed of the Dimage A2 but keeps the rest.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 Review

 

In September 2004 Konica Minolta revealed a slightly surprising new DiMAGE A series digital camera, the DiMAGE A200. Based on the DiMAGE A2 (and predecessor, the A1), the A200 features a new, smaller and more rounded body design, simplified control...

Improved resolution over A2 - especially shooting in RAW mode Image stabilization works exactly as advertised Mechanically linked zoom ring Wide angle seven times zoom lens Generally good performance and operational speed Low high ISO noise, efficient...

Soft images (not just as a result of poor AF) Autofocus errors in certain shooting conditions are too prevalent Lens being stretched past its resolution capabilities? Mild vignetting / lens shading Poor automatic white balance in artificial light Moiré...

The DiMAGE A200 takes much of what is appealing about the A2 and repackages it in a more affordable, friendlier and slightly more compact format. There's much to like here - the useful 28-200mm zoom range, the superb mechanical zoom, the wealth of...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 Review

 

It wasn't so long ago that the first 8 megapixel digital compact camera (the Sony CyberShot F828) was released, costing nearly £1,000 when it was initially launched in August 2003. Just 18 months on and how times have changed, with 8 megapixel digital...

The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 is a good camera at a great price. £450 for a digicam with this much functionality and cutting edge technology is amazing value. The wealth of configurable options on offer, the anti-shake feature, that great mechanical...
