Hi Jackal38 and welcome.

The A200 can use Compact Flash media or MemoryStick Duo with an adapter.  This is copied from the specifications for that model: -

Compact Flash Type I / II / MicroDrive slot. Memory Stick Duo / MS Pro Duo and MS-PRO HG with optional adaptor

Both Compact Flash and Memory Stick Duo are readily available from almost any camera shop - Jessops/Dixons/Currys/Maplin or online from Amazon or eBay.

If you use MemoryStick Duo you need the optional adapter: -
