First and foremost I love this camera. I had never owned a digital SLR before so I was therefore looking across the market. I looked at the Canon EOS450D & Canon 1000D models. These cameras looked really good but £450 for the Canon EOS450D was a lot of money when buying a SLR camera for the very first time. I therefore decided to purchase the Sony Alpha A230L. It's very similar to the Canon 1000D model but the Sony A230 has IS (Image Stabilising) built into the camera rather than into the lenses. Meaning that if you wanted to, you can buy a non IS lens with the Sony A230 as the IS is built into the camera. The purchase I made on this camera was one of the best purchases ever! It's amazing. The quality of the pictures is un-real. I've been taking photos of my pets recently & they look great. I can't wait to show the pictures off to my family & friends. So, if you're like me and buying a SLR camera for the first time... you won't be disappointed with the Sony A230!

I purchased this product for my wife, for Christmas, partly swayed I admit, by the £50 cashback offer. I read the other reviews and was content that I was buying the correct product for someone who had experienced SLR cameras in the past and wanted to get back into that detail of photography. Suffice to say that my wife is very pleased with the camera, finding it user friendly with impressive results.

Bought this as a Christmas present - so far, am 100% satisfied with the purchase. Not knowing anything about SLRs, I've found the options on this to be very useful. Apart from manually adjusting all the aperture and focal settings, camera has a series of preset options useful for landscape, night, portrait, sunset etc. which is good for getting a feel for what the camera can do.
Only 4 stars because the standard 18-55 lens doesnt really do anything spectacular - to really use the camera properly, you need at least one more lens.
Overall, delighted with the purchase and looking forward to many hours of happy snapping :)

The Sony Alpha A230 is such a good DSLR for so many reasons.
If you need a camera that takes extremely sharp and vivid photographs, that is also easy to handle then this is your camera! You will find the process of manual photography so much easier with it on board help system, this helps you understand what each setting does and what it does to your picture.
The lens (18-55mm) is perfectly suitable for a beginner or even a professional, it has reasonable zoom capabilities and also very strong focus. Using the DSLR and its features will enable you to create your own personal photographs and not just holiday snap quality, actually using the focus and zoom correctly for the environment you are in, this will make your pictures look a whole new world better and will show more talent in your work. This is why I would recommend this camera to someone who is maybe starting an A level photography course of some sort.
Looking more at the settings now, lets say you're not that into photography at this point and are still learning the ropes, in which case you can use a number of settings to achieve amazing pictures by doing nothing complicating, such as (Auto) this is a common setting which is on pretty much every camera (Apart from SLR's) and is used so that the camera does everything for you, E.g. setting up the armature and ISO, also focus and shutter speed. (There will only be auto focus if you set your camera to AF not MF)
There are also other settings which are more relevant to where you might be such as: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, and Night Port./View. Also there are settings named as "P", "A", "S", and "M" these are for more manual settings where you might like to keep a particular setting (For more experienced photographers)
One of the more fun features is the choice of colour scheme (Theme) of the camera, pick from black, pink, white and light brown. Also being able to save your pictures to a Sony Pro Duo memory stick or an SD card, and be able to choose where they are saved)
Another thing people like to know is how heavy a camera is, and honestly this is not very heavy, easy to carry around or keep around your neck with the provided Sony Alpha strap.
I can promise you this is a very good camera which allows the owner to create amazingly sharp and vivid photos as soon as they get it out of the box!
Hope this helps.
