Of course you are correct, Winsor...in general...:)
But you forgot that I said cheap and one that reminds me of my OM's.
If you compare the A200 with what was on the market at the time it came out,
the picture will be very different. It was the EVOLT or the A200...and to
compare the yesterday's digicam everyone started with, with the E-1 twice the
price that came a year or two later is not exactly fair either...:)
Now, you can squeeze a little more resolution with that prime ED lens, but
thats about it...In all other parameters you mentioned, the Minolta is either
close or exceeds the EVOLT. Within the 22-200 range there is absolutely no
competition.
Now, with that tiny thing in your hand, you don't look very serious about
photography, but we all have our priorities...:)

Not.
That is kind of saying that a film Oly Stylus was as good as an OM4.
Actually that was easier to say because at least the sensors were the
same - 35mm film.
Most of us with DSLRs on the list started with a digicam. None of us
said, "Damn, I wish I had not done that." Haven't you read all the
delirious comments of people with E-1s? Virtually all of them are
comparing it to their previous digicam which for most of us sits
there unused now.
DLSR advantages beyond the obvious ones like interchangeability of
lenses:
Fewer lost shots waiting for the camera to power up.
Fewer lost shots waiting for it to focus.
Ability to focus in near darkness.
Noise free images at almost any light level because of the larger
sensor.
