The A100 is outdated. The A700 is advanced.
That leaves the A350 if you must have live view, and the A200 if you don't. You decide if it's worth it to you...most DSLR purists don't want it, but many beginners used to it on their regular cameras, and some pros who need the on-screen preview, like it. |

There are many DSLR makers our there and the argument would go on for ever and ever about which is the best one to go for...I would say, it depends!!!
It depends on two main things...your long term plans in photography and ur budget at the moment. From your question I understand that ur an amatuer looking at exploring SLR photography. Taking all these into consideration here are a few cams within the $700 price range 1. Nikon D40 (my personal favorate, why?? I'll come to it in a moment) 2. Nikon D60 (the latest entry level DSLR from Nikon) 3. Cannon Digital Rebel Xti 4. Olympus E-410 I would defn tell you to go for a Nikon D40 with a dual lens kit of 18-55mm and 55-200mm nikkor lens. You can get it for around $640 which is a steal!!!!!! Why did I chose the nikon D40 out of the 3 others I mentioned?? Extensive research on this subject for the past 3 months.... Here is a review that'll help u decide urself... http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm |

The Sony A200 or A350. Of course, both have Super Steady Shot, Sony's version of image stabilization, in the body. All Minolta Maxxum AF lenses made since 1985 will have full functionality with either camera. Sony has announced that they will be releasing a line of Carl Zeiss lenses.
The fully articulated screen for the Live View on the A350 is useful for low-level photography or if you have to hold the camera over your head in a crowd. It can also be a useful focusing aid for macro photography. With the Nikon D40 that was so enthusiastically endorsed, you have to pay for image stabilization and AF with each lens you buy. Go to digitalcameraguide.com and read the reviews of cameras in your price range and decide for yourself. |

LOL Just because a camera is discontinued doesn't mean that it's not good. Compare prices between camerahouse.com, bhphotvideo.com and adorama.com. You'll probably save some money if you buy from USA, but I'd check to see if Sony has International warranty before ordering.
