after buying and using the A200 for a short while i've discovered that you can't save settings in auto mode.. bit of a bind because a lot of the time i want different focus/flash/drive settings to the defaults, and every time i turn the camera off they get reset. I think you can do it in some of the modes, but i need it in auto.. Of course, there is the simple solution.. don't turn it off.. but not very practical 🙂
so... looks like the A200 could end up on EBAY... but what i was wondering - what is the cheapest camera in the sony dslr range that will allow you to save settings in auto ? wanting to stay with sony because i have now got the lenses i want..
