Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 review

I’ve owned Dimage A200 for about 1,5 months and haven’t had a problem with focusing, also in the low light.
Perhaps it all depends on the rollout of the specific camera. Reading previous comments I have noticed that people are either very happy with the camera or very disappointed.
After two days I had been taken pictures with A200 I wanted to bring it back to the shop. Mainly because I didn’t know HOW to use it and thought that it doesn’t work the way I want. It takes some time getting to know this machine. But if you do, you can take very good pictures in every condition.
For focusing I usually use single-shot AF (the one you choose from the AF/M button on the left side of the camera), plus the Spot AF Areas (those you get via a press to the controller button’s centre and the turn of the control dial). This combination works just perfect for me. With those Spot AF Areas you can change the spot focus area really quickly and focusing doesn’t last so long at all.

Problems:

It takes quite a long time and relatively big effort to learn how to use this camera.
