| Review summary | The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR that doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field. | In a league by itself, the Mark II offers professional photographers extensive customization, excellent photo quality, and market-leading speed. | Canon's EOS 1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customization, and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market. | The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera. | Canon's EOS 1Ds Mark II offers a wealth of features and the highest resolution of any small-format digital SLR, with a price to match. |
