Oh whoops, I totally didn't see the word "kit" in there. My bad. Let's back up a little, shall we...
>>230265The sony kit with 18-70mm lens is now selling for 499.99 in futureshop/black's is it worth it?
The A200 is a rockin' little camera. You can't go wrong with it.
BUT! For only a hundred bucks more, you can get the A300, which is the same thing but it also includes a live-view LCD (like a point & shoot) that fucking TILTS.
Live view is great for a number of reasons...like being able to check white-balance without taking a picture and fudging around (you just change the setting, and the LCD shows you the effect right there through the live view, like a point & shoot does)...or being able to get step away from a tripod and not have to squat down or stand on your tippy-toes to see into the viewfinder (you can just...tilt the screen, and see what you're pointing the camera at). You'll still use the optical viewfinder 90% of the time, but the LCD is super handy in those tricky situations.
Oh, and Sony live-view isn't crippled to shit like the Canon one (no autofocusing? only works in P, Tv, Av, or M? what the crap?) or slow as fuck like Olympus's. You just flip it on and it does exactly what you expect it to.
