I agree with your A200 assessment, AG. It is a fantastic camera, it has served
me well. Needless to say, despite the high-ISO noise, I have no objection of
its performance at IS0 50 which I use in 99.999% of the situations. As a
matter of fact, of all pictures I have ever taken with it, only 1% were shot at
ISO 100 and this is the first time I ever bumped it to 400.
I will be buying the Sony A55 soon. I saw it recently during a Bestbuy visit
and it felt like I was working with the A2/200 in a much more refined and
capable DSLR package. No, not trying to bring you back in the Minolta(Sony)
camp, I know you have your trigger set on the Kanonz...:)

P.S. The WB isnt a problem if you set it on tungsten setting, but it becomes
if you leave it on auto. The fact that everything was all brown, including the
reflected light made everything much warmer.
P.P.S. Nah, the priest was "I am gonna mumble sompin under my nose until
everyone falls asleep" type. My sister told me that she likes the picture
before the last one where they were yapping through the ceremony.

Actually, except for the white-balance issue, those shots are pretty
good. The A-200 is actually a remarkably good camera and any fixation
on noise detracts from the fact that the images don't need to be
ultra-clean, but ultra-there.
Several things make it very good for this application:
1. Awesome lens! One of the best overall lenses we'll ever find.
Minolta optics engineers created a masterpiece with that lens.
2. Sensor-shift image-stabilization. It works extremely well on the
A1, A2, A200 cameras.
3. Twist-and-shout monitor.
4. Lens-shutter. Very quiet and smooth.
5. Minolta image-processing.
As to the sauna... Well, a lot of churches look like that because when
the preacher is a fire and brimstone type, you'll sometimes sweat like
you are in a sauna.
