Twenty years ago I started with an analog camera. But recently suspended its mechanics and a digital replacement was needed. Because the lenses I have come to Sony and was first exposed to an advanced equipment. However, since the DSLR technology further developed so rapidly, I became convinced to try it with an inexpensive entry-level model. That it was the Sony DSLR-A230L, is due to a favorable offer. The CCD sensor 10.2 megapixels provides very nice pictures, the low refresh rate and moderate-capacity battery does not bother me. The older lenses from the analog time all give slightly blurring, is possibly to get over. The entrainment of the SAL 18-55 is recommended, as hardly a surcharge must be paid. Incidentally, the Sony A230 is so easy with the SAL 18-55, that they casually pocketed times to take pictures here and there. I wanted to mount any heavy full push, he prefers to take a separate telephoto and macro supplement if needed. Operating the A230 is simple and appears clearly after some practice. Still slow me down my incorrect use too much, to be able to say where weaknesses of camera present. Another pleasing thing, the image stabilizer. It works reliably, even with telephoto 70-300mm, not always when using a teleconverter and macro shots.
