Sony Digital Slr Camera Model Dslr A230

This is my first Digital SLR and I think it's a great camera. I wanted something over 10MP for a DSLR and this fit the bill. The value and features are great and B&H has the best price for this kit anywhere!

When I bought the Sony Alpha SLR Digital Camera package, I mistakenly neglected to get an AC Adapter Kit... but because I purchased the camera primarily for video production, the AC Adapter is essential. Not surprisingly, I got the quality that I expected from a Sony product.

fits perfect with my SONY NEX-3 digital SLR

I have been a Nikon guy for 30 years. I have a ton of lenses and my current favorite Nikon SLR is the D7100. (I prefer the DX format to the FX format for a number of reasons). It's a great still camera, but shoots absolutely terrible video. Sony on the other hand is known for making amazing video cameras, but has struggled to gain market share in the stills world. My wife got an a5000 and I was incredibly impressed with it, but it lacks manual controls--too many menus required to get into the settings. I decided to buy this camera as something more portable than an SLR but with much higher quality images than a typical fixed-lens point/shoot. This camera is amazing. The video looks like the video from an FS100. The stills are as good as the ones from my Nikon D7100. The autofocus is as fast as any DSLR. It can do ANYTHING a DSLR can do, and a few things they can't. This may be the future of cameras. A DSLR is starting to look like something I don't really need anymore. My only complaint is that the battery is pretty small and the battery life could be better. So buy a couple. It has enough manual controls and assignable buttons that you can set it up to be able to change settings/focus/mode/etc in just a few actions and once you get it set up, the darned thing is absolutely fantastic to use. The kit lens is sharp and has optical stabilization built in which works in both stills and video mode! Crazy cool. Honestly, I haven't been so amazed by a camera in a long time. For the money? Best camera I have ever owned. Buy a battery charger with the camera....Sony is too cheap to include one with the camera and expects you to charge it through a USB cable. Lame Sony!

Having resumed shooting some 4x5 film after many years, I have been using my late model digital SLR for metering, but thought I would supplement that with readings from my old Gossen Luna Pro. Of course it needed batteries, hard to find. B&H had them at reasonable price, excellent service.

A good size for an SLR or lower profile Digital camera. and a lens or two.

I've had a sony camera when they first came out with their mirrorless DSLR version years ago. Upgraded to a new model and it works very nice so far.

EASY TO USE DIGITAL SLR CAMERA. TAKES GREAT PICTURES.

I wear glasses and to have a rubber eye cover is a must on my digital SLR camera.

the perfect camera between a point n' shoot and a full blown digital SLR.
