Does anyone have one of these?

I am 75% set on buying one of these next week. I just want to make sure I'm making the right move. THIS IS MY FIRST DSLR. If you have it, do you like it? Are you pleased with the image quality? Could you post some samples? Do you recommend another camera?

Thanks.

Read this thread. I don't know of anyone shooting the Alpha, but try looking through all the Photo of the Day posts.

I have a sony a330, photo quality is amazing, but it is a DSLR. I got it for the same price as a a230 on offer. The live view is brilliant and that it tilts is great.

Just make sure you hold the camera and it feels good in your hand before you buy it. It is a small camera and doesn't have the biggest grip, so if you have big hands it may be awkward for you. If that is the case try looking for the a350 it is a larger camera with very similar specs.
I have the a350 and the a700, I love them both.

Sorry for the late reply, no it was on offer at jessops a Uk photography shop. It is a smaller camera in comparison to my d90. However a lot cheaper also.
