5.0 out of 5 stars Feature packed easy to use DSLR..love it 11 Sep 2009
Sony have been in the DSLR game for about 4 years now, this stems back to the purchase of Minolta and the subsequent adoption of Minoltas "A" mount lens system, any suspicions that Sony were not in the business for the long haul should now be dead and burried as Sony have consistently improved and added to the Alpha DSLR system ever since, the Alpha system is now starting to look really formidable with many nice lenses now available and some super DSLR bodies...which brings me on to this great camera

There are basically two versions of this camera, one with live view (A330) and one without (A230), my opinion is that it is well worth paying the extra for the really excellent live view version (this camera)...

5.0 out of 5 stars Review for the Digital SLR novice... 14 Dec 2009
By Bookish TOP 500 REVIEWER
I love taking photos and the quality, trueness and clarity is everything to me. I'm not very versed or yet wildly interested in ISO things and white balance and all that stuff (although this Sony Alpha may inspire me to learn...) BUT I do take my photography seriously enough that I've sold some photos and had a few published in magazines. I'm just not technical in any way...

For years I owned and loved a Konika Minolta digital camera. I couldn't buy another one because Minolta were bought out by Sony, so I upgraded it to a Sony T500, which I didn't love as much. I wanted to get a digital SLR, but was overwhelmed and overawed by the cameras I looked at, and yearned for a DSLR version of my lovely Konika.

When I found this camera I was thrilled, because it really is a grown up version of the digital Konika.

It is completely intuitive to use, and takes superb, crisp photographs. It has a live display (the same as digital cameras) which is perfect for someone like me who doesn't always want to squint through an eyepiece.
It can be fully automatic, so you just aim, press and fire. There is the teeniest of lag times (the time before you can press the shutter again and take another photo) which is perfect for wildlife photography.
You can also choose various settings such as 'Sunset', 'Portrait', 'Sport' - and the best bit is that even though the pictures on the settings dial are quite small, as you choose a setting an explanation pops up on the live view to tell you what setting you've chosen and what it does (you can turn this off if you wish).

The camera can also be fully manual, and there are plenty of lenses available.

I like the look and feel of it, and it's lightweight and comfortable to hold.

Thanks to the large tilting LCD screen, this has allowed me to easily take vibrant pictures in positions which would be either very difficult or virtually impossible.
Taking pictures of kids can easily be done from their height level while I stand straight optimizing the fantastic live view facility. The auto focus with the kit lens is fast and picture quality supreme. Another fantastic camera from Sony.
You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect camera 16 Sep 2010
By Dace
I had problems with my last two Canon compact cameras and decided to change the brand. Have to admit, I don't regret it! This camera is perfect for someone who has just switched to SLR ones. Even though you have to get used to it and explore everything you can do with it, it takes great quality photos, is easy to use and has the live view, which is very important to me.

Whoever thinks only Canon and Nikon are worth considering, Sony definitely aren't lagging behind. You will be happy to have it!
