The A200 is the A350's baby brother and should give a good idea of the images produced by their other sibling, the A300, which places the A200's sensor in the A350's body. The A200 produces noticeably less detail, particularly in medals from the Martini bottle. At their lowest sensitivity settings, the A350's more densely populated sensor seems to give the resolution advantage that the spec-sheet implies.
