1. Is this your first DSLR?
Yes. Although I have quite a bit of experience with DSLR's, I've never actually owned one. All the equipment I used was borrowed.
2. What were the deciding factors in choosing the A200?
Too my knowledge, from what I have heard and read through a few months of research, the A200 [which in itself has been in the market for a few months] is the best bang for the buck. From what I hear, you also have a wide range of lens and other optional tools to add on.
3. What do you want to do with your camera? i.e, landscape, nature, or macro photography, family moments, sporting events? All of the above?
I plan on doing a good mix of night photography, scenery/landscape, and portraits [although I'm not going to doubt that I will be using it for other things]. I go hiking quite a bit, and enjoy taking pictures of the places I go and things I see, although it's a good mix of everything.
