'''Sony α 200''' (DSLR-A200) is the third model of [[Sony α]] [[digital camera]]s. The model offers a slight upgrade from the [[Sony α 100]] at a lower price. It first shipped in February 2008.
It was officially succeeded by the [[Sony α 230]]; the α 230 is much lighter, also several features have been removed and direct buttons to several options have been replaced with on-screen menus. Many Alpha enthusiasts believe that the true replacement for the α 200 is the [[Sony α 450|α 450]] as it is more similar in size and weight, features and target market.
==Major changes from the α 100== Some of the major changes from the previous A100 model are: *LCD monitor upgrade from 2.5-inch to 2.7-inch, but same effective pixels *X-sync (With Super Steady Shot On) from 1/125s to 1/160s *More Recording Formats (16:9 selectable) *New [[Battery grip|vertical grip]] VG-B30AM *Higher ISO Sensitivity from 1600 to 3200 *Improved: Noise Handling *Improved: AF Algorithm *Changed: Button Layout - Second Function wheel has been replaced *Removed: 2s Mirror Lockup *Removed: Depth of Field preview Button *Removed: Included MemoryStick to CF adapter (was included with Alpha 100) *Removed: Flash/Hot Shoe cover
