At the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas NV, Sony introduced the successor to its Alpha 100 digital SLR. The Alpha 200 has a more compact body and a slightly larger 2.7-inch LCD, new firmware, and a top light-sensitivity setting of ISO 3200 instead of the Alpha 100�s ISO 1600. Sony also says it offers improved optical image stabilization algorithms, an autofocus speed that is 1.7 times faster than the Alpha 100�s, improved image-noise control, and a quieter shutter. The new camera�s battery system provides a percentage-remaining readout as well.
To achieve the Alpha 200�s more compact design, Sony removed a top-mounted control dial that provided direct access to several frequently used settings. Fortunately, the designers added a dedicated ISO button to preserve quick access to that setting, as well as a function-menu button for efficient adjustment to other frequently used controls.
