Patrick Howards(NC, USA) gave the Sony Alpha A230L 5 out of 5 stars

“This is just about the perfect entry-level DSLR.

It has everything that you need to get great shots out of it, without the high price tag or a bloated feature set. I’d definitely recommend it. It’s not the best, technically, but it’s a great learning tool, performs well under stress, and an expert can get great shots out of it across the ISO range and in all lighting conditions. I would say that this will become legendary for its value as a DSLR. It’s the closest thing to a “throw it up and shoot” cheap little box film camera that you can get in a DSLR. But it still takes great photos, it’s very fast, nice and small, obviously cheap, and very easy to use.

I have to say I’m very happy so far with my choice, and this camera is my first DSLR Camera. The auto focus is fast and accurate. The shutter response is quick. The image quality is very good with lots of detail. The exposures have been very accurate with a minimal number of photos with blown highlights. The image stabilization kicks butt. The dynamic range optimization really does pull highlights out of the shade.”

“I’ve had the camera for a few days now. Its been wonderful. Many people online seem to complain about Sony’s default settings for the camera. They say the color is “off” a little. I’ve taken of 400 pictures in a few days and haven’t any problems with the colors of the photos. I recommend buying an external flash. Its been a big help.Sony HVLF20AM TTL Digital Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras”
