Sony’s Alpha DSLR-A230 is one the company’s latest entry-level DSLRs. Announced in May 2009, it’s the successor to the Alpha A200, and inherits many features from this earlier model including the same 10.2 Megapixel CCD sensor and built-in image st...
Good Built-in IS which works with any lens, Beginner-friendly user interface, One of the cheapest DSLRs around.
Bad More noise than rivals at high ISOs, Slow continuous shooting, No live view or movie mode, Body shape may not be to all tastes.
Bottom line When Sony announced the Alpha A230 (and its siblings the A330 and A380), it wasn’t hard to understand why many enthusiasts were disappointed. Most have become accustomed to new cameras featuring more powerful specifications such as higher resolution...

Sony A230 DSLR review:The Sony A230 DSLR is Sony's most reasonably priced SLR for beginners. In spite of its price, it's packed with features. The camera is being marketed by Sony in two camera/lens combinations - One is the camera body with an 18-55mm...

Bottom line Underneath the veneer, very little has changed from the old model but that is not necessarily a bad thing, as this still offers a very competitive performance, and currently a cheaper price than its competitors once you take into account the kit lens...

The Sony A230 is a new entry-level 10.2 megapixel DSLR camera, replacing the popular A200 model. Intended to be easier to use for people new to SLR photography, the A230 features a smaller and lighter design and enhanced user interface. The A230 reta...
Bottom line The A230 is the third and final new entry-level Sony DSLR that weve reviewed, and as with the more expensive A330 and A380 models, its a clear step backwards when compared with its predecessor, the A200. Offering no significant new features and fea...

Sonys latest entry-level SLR shooter, the 10.2-megapixel Alpha DSLR-A230 ($549.99 direct, with 18-55mm kit lens) is competitively priced, captures great images, and delivers a solid feature set for the money. You wont get extras like a Live View L...
Good Competitive price. Lightweight. Good image quality. Noise is unnoticeable up to and including ISO 1600. Clever interface guides beginners. HDMI port with support for HDMI CEC.
Bad LCD does not support Live View. Kit lens produces soft images at wider apertures. Still image frame rate is a bit sluggish when compared with comparable cameras.
Bottom line The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 delivers terrific value and solid shots for an entry-level SLR, but it lacks features such as HD video capture and Live View, which youll often find on higher-end models...
