Ok, I cheated a little with this one. Not exactly captive, but not exactly a free range Alpha either.. Emma with my a200 at a jazz festival Saturday, trying out something better than her little Nikon P&S. John

Great pic John! With a vertical grip as well - she looks very professional :D If you're not careful she'll be wanting the A700 next.

Kevin- Emma really enjoyed using the a200. She is eager to try the 30mm f2.8 macro for some flower shots. And, to tell the truth, I think she got a kick from all the stares she got having such a large camera slung around her neck!
Birma- When Emma first saw the a700 with its remote, she immediately had visions of covert photography of big brother!

Looks like A700 to me.

In her little hands, it does look a lot larger than an a200. Those first Alphas did look a lot more alike than they do now.

Very true Kevin- It was quite a beast in her tiny little hands. (and I don't yet have a VG for the a700) I think one of the newer bodies would be better for her... She is keen to get a new camera- She tried my a700 on for size today- even with just the 30mm f2.8- it was just too big. John

Nice cheating, John!

Definitely makes spotting Emma difficult though... :D

So, is she getting her wish? Will Daddy John grant her a wish?

Thanks Yildiz- I don't know about the DSLR. She wants her own laptop as well... And tons of clothes!! :wink: John
