I decided to get a digital SLR. I couldn’t be more excited about it and I went to a few stores and talked to a few folks- most of whom pointed me toward Canon or Nikon. But I was stubborn and thought I could get away with the Sony A200. Hey, it’s a 10.2 megapixel camera too, plus it’s way cheaper than any of the others.

I soon discovered that there was a reason why it’s cheaper- soft images. I couldn’t get anything as sharp as I wanted. I really thought it was a bummer. Here’s one of the images from the Sony. You can see, it wasn’t BAD, just not the type of image I wanted, so I decided to trade in the A200 for a Canon EOS Rebel xti. It just arrived today and I’m totally stoked!

Photos and a review to come.
