Song A200 really delivers!!

We just purchased this camera a week ago and we are DSRL newbies so bare with me... for a beginner this camera is great. It takes wonderful shots in the auto mode, and even has a picture manual to help a newbie user get the hang of things without a bunch of techy talk. It makes it easier to experiment when the guide is not so confusing. The pictures it takes are really amazing. We liked the A200 better and choose it over the D40 and the Rebel because it had autofocus in the body, as well as still has 10+ MP. We are really happy with the choice. It also has an image stablization which helps a great deal, and is impossible to find in cameras in this price range. We are looking for some new and better lenses, but the kit lense surprisingly isn't too bad! It seems like a better lense would be nice to take pictures farther away, but while we are still learning it really doesn't make much difference to us. I give this camera big thumbs up!
