If ya'll do it when I am available I can bring my A200.
I wanna check out the whip Paul.
How do you like the A200? I've just been looking at Olympus and Sony DSLR's, they seem very underrated. I played around with the A300 and I might have to switch my Canon 350D out for that lol

I looked at each camera that CC had for under 800 and the A200 package was the best deal. Each camera (Olympus, Nikon, Canon) had one part better than the others. IIRC the Sony excelled in the most areas compared to similarly priced DSLR's. The Nikon D40 lacked the Res and the D60 wasn't worth the extra $100. My A200 had higher ISO, 10.2MP, Multi-shot select with one button (up to six captures a second), as well as quick ISO or shutter change wheel right at your pointer finger. PLUS we got a 50-200mm lens for $50. It was well worth it. Sony did good at keeping the Minolta name to its high standards. I know it isn't the best DSLR on the market but for under $800 I couldn't choose anything else.
If you get the A300, please don't waste the money on the live view model. The live view does not give you a great interpretation of your shot. It's kind of nice for taking the harder to view shots, but I can't bring myself to liking it on a DSLR.
