Incredible images are now within everyone’s reach - even if you’ve never picked up a digital SLR before. Sony expands the Alpha family with the α230: an easy-to-use DSLR camera that make serious picture quality and shooting options brilliantly accessible.

The a230 is the world’s lightest DSLR featuring an APS-C sized image sensor and in-body image stabilisation. Its compact size makes it great for trips away when you want to grab superb pictures without taking up extra space in your luggage. Control layout has been revised with fewer buttons, so even first-time DSLR users needn’t feel intimidated by the creative options on offer.

Confused by photo jargon? Help is at hand with a friendly new interface on the camera’s clear, bright 2.7-inch LCD screen. Choose from any of six Scene Selection modes that adjust settings to suit any subject.

The on-screen Help Guide explains your selection, complete with a sample image to demonstrate the results you’ll achieve. It can also be tricky understanding the relationship between shutter speed and aperture.

The unique new graphical display shows clearly how your chosen exposure settings will affect the final picture. Despite their friendly styling and compact size, the latest additions to the Alpha line-up don’t compromise on the picture quality, responsive shooting and advanced creative options prized by DSLR enthusiasts.
