Direct replacement although the centre outlet was a little smaller than standard and necessitated a cable tie to ensure seal

What you need is what you'll use!
10 of 10 found this helpful I chose the A200 for several reasons; Price being a major factor but not at the expense of quality. I've looked at reviews, handled several in store and whittled my choice down to a select few. The Canon 1000D, Nikon D3100 / D5000, the Sony A290 and the A200. The Nikon was the best for quality and feel etc but it was over twice the price of the Sony, even used. If I were a professional or a very active amateur then I may well have worn that additional £300 but as a keen amateur I have other expenses in my life!!
The Canon just felt...cheap in comparison. Strangely, even though the A290 is a replacement for the A200, the A200 is simply far superior. The construction and quality of picture is much better. Ok, the A290 has 'live view' and other additional features but I know that I simply wouldn't use them. If you are, like me, someone who used to use film, then you'll want the hands on, 'organic' (I hate that term but it does describe it best) way of picture taking, then you'll know what I mean. I want to be the one taking the pic, not the computer in the camera! I want feel and control, and the A200 was, at the price, the best choice.
I would have like a depth of field preview but it's not a huge complaint.
It sits nicely in the hand and most things are fairly ergonomic. One thing to note though...if you are a left eye user, you can easily knock the AV button with your nose when looking through the viewfinder. I would have liked a slightly larger and chunkier adjustment wheel by the shutter release as the one on here is a little small but, again, not a huge issue.
For the price you can get an A200 for now, you really are unlikely to find a better entry level DSLR at such a great price. Obviously the Minolta / Sony lenses aren't at the same level as the Nikkor or Zeiss but they are decent enough and certainly at the 10.2 megapixel level it wont be an issue. There's plenty of choice and I picked up a 80-210mm zoom lens for under £50.
In conclusion, if you absolutely must have the latest gadgets to impress the Jones' (and most of which you'll never use or understand!) and are happy to pay 2-3 times the cost of the A200 or truly want the quality to cost then go for the Nikons, if you're brand conscious, go for the Canon. But if you are interested in a good DSLR which will mean YOU have to be a decent photographer. If you, like me, dont understand what half the stuff they talk about in the magazine reviews means but just want to enjoy taking pics...go for the A200. There's some bargains to be had and you can spend what you save, getting to the exotic locations you want to take pics of!
I had a Zenith E as my first camera, I desperately wanted the Canon A1 or Nikon F1 but I learned how to take a pic by trial and (mostly) error. If you are from the same school, the A200 will make you quite nostalgic!!!!
