   What would cause an A200 to take a pic on its own when the power is turned on? If it's set on continuous it will keep going until the power is turned off. Not particularly conductive to good pictures....

A friend has this and wants to get rid of it. He hasn't checked into what it might be, and I'm curious what it could be. If it's nothing major I might try and get it, but they're not all that expensive any more either.

What if it's in single shot mode? Does it take one shot and then behave normally? What if it's in self-timer mode or bracketing mode?

That I don't know. Didn't want to look too interested I just passed it off at first, and then started thinking about it. I have extra Minolta lenses, and for some reason picked up the Sony battery grip, and once I remembered that realized that it would make a nice little beater camera to leave in the car.

It might be a cross-circuit in the remote port. When I hook up the Pocket Wizards for remote triggering with a cable it will act the same way. If I have the cable in the Camera/Flash port(1) on the PW it will fire continously and if I hook it into the Flash port(2) it will trip the shutter once and then it's OK for a trigger. Go figure? With Flash Zebra trigger cables fwiw.

Your friends name wouldn't happen to be ebay, would it?
