Advantages: Excellent picture / sound. Amp very good upscaler. Future proof built in. Disadvantages: It is heavy. Amp in short supply
This is one serious bit of equipment. It's flexibility with connections make long term future proof. The sound and picture quality is awesome. If it is used in a room that can't take 7.1 number of speakers , use the unused 2 channels to bi-amp the front left & right speakers.
It has a multi room capability. It is an excellent upscaler. Five HDMI in, two HDMI's out ( two tv's or tv and projecter ). The amp is built like a tank - solid and weighty. The power supplies are over specified which puts the amp under less strain whilst giving better performance. A lot of the top of the range DSP-Z11's design and features have found their way into this amp.
My one moan is that it's in short supply due to it's success and you may have to wait several weeks for delivery - check suppliers stock. ...

Advantages: Only £350! Disadvantages: plastic body,noise problem
This is by far, the best camera i own, i had the sony a100 wich unfortuantly broke, but the sony a200 delivers more with a bigger lcd screen and higher iso settings of 3200, i would strongly recomend this 10.2 megapixel camera to anyone.
The sony a200 sports a 18-70mm lens, which adds a bit more telephoto coverage, then other models aimed at this price.
The only problem with the sony a200 is when the camera focuses, it tends to make a lot of noise, and can take quit a while to focus on subjects, but apart from this, it is a realy nice camera, it is slightly smaller than the a100, but it still sports a plastic body, but thats expected of a slr at this price.
The camera has many more feutres inside, as sony use there feutres in the body, while other companies use lens based ones.
The camera has a Bionz image processing engine ...
