Key Advantages

The Alpha A200 provides high image quality with its 10.2MP CCD sensor ideal for enthusiasts.

Its 9-point autofocus system enables precise and quick focusing performance.

Good low-light performance thanks to its ISO sensitivity range up to 1600, expandable to 3200.

Lightweight body enhances portability for extended shooting sessions.

Multiple exposure modes allow photographers to experiment and control image output creatively.

User-friendly interface and menu system simplify operation for both beginners and advanced users.

Limitations

The CCD sensor, while producing good image quality, is generally less efficient in low light compared to CMOS sensors.

The camera's continuous shooting speed is limited to around 3 frames per second, which may not suffice for fast action photography.

No built-in image stabilization, requiring lenses with this feature for shake reduction.

The LCD screen is fixed and does not articulate, limiting shooting angles.

Lacks video recording capabilities common in later DSLR models.

The autofocus system, although adequate, may struggle in very low light or with fast-moving subjects.
