A Sony Alpha A230 é uma DSLR compacta projetada em torno de um sensor CCD formato APS-C de 10.2 megapixels (efetivos), que utiliza um processador de imagem Sony BIONZ para capturar e processar arquivos de imagem como RAW, JPEG ou RAW+JPEG em velocidades de até 2,5 quadros por segundo. O design do corpo da Alpha A230 é suave e arredondado e possui controles de câmera fáceis de usar. Os arquivos de imagem JPEG podem ser gravados em 3 taxas de compressão em cartões de memória Memory Stick PRO Duo ou SD/SDHC.
Para fotos em áreas internas ou para eliminar "olhos de guaxinim" ao tirar fotos em áreas externas sob sol forte, a Alpha A230 possui um flash pop-up integrado (Número guia 10 em metros com ISO 100). Também possui uma sapata para o uso com flashguns TTL dedicados da Sony e outros flashguns compatíveis com Sony.
Para compor imagens, o visor pentamirror de nível ocular da A230 exibe 95% da área total de imagem. Um LCD Clear Photo TFT de 2,7" (230.400 pontos) montado na parte traseira permite ver 100% da área total de imagem.
Para facilitar imagens nítidas e bem expostas, a Sony Alpha A230 utiliza um sistema autofoco (AF) de 9 pontos que pode ser usado no modo de uma ou múltiplas fotos. Ela também dispõe de um modo 'eye-start' que inicia o sistema AF ao levar a câmera aos seus olhos. Para leituras de exposição, a A230 possui um sistema de medição SPC TTL padrão colmeia de 40 segmentos e Otimizador D-Range da Sony para detalhes de altas luzes e sombra balanceados.
Outros recursos da Sony Alpha A230 incluem um sistema de Redução de Poeira, configurações de ISO que podem ser ajustadas desde ISO 100 nativo até ISO 3200 estendido, uma ampla gama de modos de fotografia, uma interface de menu fácil de ler e fácil de usar e o sistema de estabilização de imagem Sony SteadyShot INSIDE para uma captação de imagem mais nítida ao fotografar sob luminosidade fraca com todas as lentes de montagem AF Sony, Minolta e Konica.
A Sony Alpha A230 é alimentada por uma bateria de íons de lítio Sony NP-FH50, que pode capturar mais de 500 imagens por carga.

This is my first DSLR. I have been using point and shoot digital cameras for the past 6 years and hated them all. In the 80's and 90's I used Minolta SLR's and own a SRT100, SRT202, X370 and X700. My lenses ranged from 28mm wide angle to 600mm telephoto. I never made the switch to AF because I loved to have the control over my photos that only manual operation could accomplish.
After much deliberation, I realized that the old Minolta gear just wasn't practical anymore, so hesitantly I looked for something to use my old lenses on. Sony fit the bill, IF I used an adapter and used the camera in manual mode, a nice feature to me.
Once I got this little gem in my hands, I quickly realized that there is absolutely no reason for me to even try to use my old MC/MD lenses. With Maxxum lenses all over the place, it doesn't make any sense to adapt the old lenses to my new camera.
However, once I started shooting pictures, I was quickly impressed with the quality and versitlity of the 18-55mm Macro Zoom that came with the A230. It is fast, light and the colors are spot on. The manual focus feature is great for getting those close ups that I want. In full auto, the snapshots that I have taken indoors are excellent. I will be buying a 70-210 "Beercan" and hopefully a 100mm prime Macro in the near future.
The only thing that I miss from my old film SLR's is DOF preview. If this camera had that and live view, it would be perfect.

I have already recommended to a friend, I have a small videography business and use the camera for b-roll shots. I also use it for family events and will be taking it on vacation in a few weeks. The camera is easy to read and come with a easy to follow instruction book. It does take getting use to not looking through the LCD screen but no big deal once you get familiar with it.

I bought this camera for my daughter for her 16th birthday who is very interested in photography and is taking classes in school, even the teacher comented on what a great camera she has and she spoke to me about it and couldn't believe the price for such a great piece of equipment so needless to say everyone is happy especially my bank account for finding such a great deal. This camera takes beautiful pictures, i own a nikon 3100 and you can't tell the difference in picture quality from one to the other would definately recomend this camera for anyone who wants a camera that takes proffessional quality pictures at a budget price...

If you are looking for a starter DSLR, this is the perfect camera. I have had Sony point-and-shoots and was very impressed with them. This DSLR does everything I would ever need out of a DSLR. It is the perfect size and very easy to use.

This is my first DSLR and after an ample amount of time researching for the best, yet affordable entry-level DSLR, I found the A230. When I first received the camera, I already fell in love with it. The image quality of A230 is superb. I found it to be very user-friendly, although I still have to work on figuring how to mess with P/A/S/M modes of the camera. Overall, I am totally satisfied with this product!

Comments about Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens:
This is my first DSLR, and I adore it. It has all the features I'd ever want, and some I never thought of. The menus are very intuitive; once I knew the basics, I was up and running. I had to go through the manual a couple times and spend some hours hands-on to fully understand all the features, but everything is quickly accessible through a variety of function, menu, program and navigation buttons, not hidden deep within layers of menus. Stepping up from a film SLR, I find the focus, metering, flash and white balance functions surprisingly flexible. I'm impressed that it handles indoor shooting without a flash at higher ISO; settings above 800 are grainy, but analogous to high ISO film grain. Detail and color dynamics are good, not astounding. Good battery life. Nice balance, comfortable weight, ergonomics are okay.
I miss having a depth-of field preview button, but it's not absolutely necessary since one can review results on the fly. I wish the spot meter could freeze its setting when the shutter release is pressed halfway, like the autofocus can. As it is designed, the spot meter is really only useful in manual mode. And it's odd there is no autoflash option in P/A/S/M modes, only in the Auto and preset programs.
Overall, a nice camera, a joy to use, at a great price.

Comments about Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens:
I use this camera to mostly take unique, artistic photos and for astrophotography. This camera has served me very well so far. I bought this mostly to try my hand at AP and it works great. The pictures I have taken of the Moon and the Orion Nebula are gorgeous. As far as normal pictures go, this still works very well but it is not the best in low light. It has the ability to take wonderful pictures in all conditions if you have a tripod. The camera is very good for sports and outdoor pictures. One thing worth noting is that the camera is made for those who are new to DSLRs. The user interface does a great job at showing new users how the camera functions. Unfortunately, the camera does not have a live view mode. I personally have no problems with this because I always like using the view finder for my shots, but others may disagree. For anyone wanting to get their first DSLR, this is an awesome camera.

Comments about Sony Alpha A230 Digital SLR with 18-55mm Lens:
I had borrowed a Sony Alpha from a friend for a few weeks before I got this one, so I knew what I was getting into. As a novice photographer, I did not really notice a difference in my shooting between the Alpha and some of the more expensive cameras I also borrowed to shoot with. I'm pretty happy with the work I'm getting out of it and would recommend it as a entry level SLR.

This camera takes wonderful, detailed pictures. I had looked at a couple of other brands but decided to go with this one, and I am glad I did. It is easy to use, and while it is noisy at the higher iso speeds (1600-3200) the noise is more film like and not as objectionable as on other makes/models. This is a great camera for starting out or as a second/backup. I have been very impressed by this camera and I am generally hard to impress.

Great entry level DSLR for a casual photographer, amateur, or simi-pro. Auto mode does a great job on its own. Everything I shoot is in full manual mode with 100% control over the camera settings and I could not be happier with the results. Camera is light and super easy to use. Kit lens is a decent lens for beginners or the casual shooter, it does a pretty good job, but for anyone thinking about getting serious with there shooting, or anyone who gets bit by the shutter bug, you will be upgrading lenses soon. Battery life is excellent. Overall I have no complaints with this camera.
