The DSLR-200 will ship at the end of January and cost $699 with an 18-70mm lens. According to Sony, the 10-megapixel A200 has a CCD sensor, can shoot at up to 3 frames per second, and has improved auto-focus speed (up to 1.7 times faster than on the A100). The 2.7-inch LCD screen is larger than its predecessor, as well. One more technology addition: The A200 incorporates Sony's D-Range Optimizer technology, which Sony says provides better image exposures and better detail when you're shooting high-contrast or backlit scenes.
