Skin tones with the Sony a200 DSLR

I shot this girl for a ceremony a while ago and I have to admit hers was the most photogenic faces I came across in a while. The biggest challenge was there were no lights. Since it was a budget affair, I didn't have much choice. Luckily the decorators had a couple of florescent light and cranked the camera a bit to get the exposure right and that did it. Viola.

I use to wonder where I would be with my Sony a200, but realized its a great camera when I put it to rigorous test at demanding weddings. Under proper lights, the a200 is an outstanding camera producing excellent skin tones and can be happily used for fashion photography. Its a shame they are not being made any more. Sony unfortunately has stepped into DSLTs which now use Sony's EXMOR CMOS sensors as against the initial CCD sensor cameras. Luckily Sony cameras are available very cheaply now on the seconds market, and contrary to popular belief the same specced Sony lenses are much more affordable than Canon and Nikon's.
