This specific unit (S\/N: 4989278) is paired with the 18-55mm SAM lens, a combination that provides a versatile 27-82.5mm equivalent focal range—covering everything from wide landscapes to flattering portraits. The A230 was engineered to remove the complexity of traditional DSLRs, featuring an on-screen Help Guide that explains camera settings as you use them. Because it utilizes a CCD sensor, the images have a specific \"bite\" and color depth that makes skin tones look remarkably natural. Whether you are moving up from a smartphone or looking for a lightweight CCD-based backup, this Alpha kit provides the mechanical reliability and optical flexibility that Sony is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 4989278) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The Sony 18-55mm f\/3.5-5.6 DT SAM zoom lens (S\/N: 5172476) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches.

The battery compartment and SD\/Memory Stick Duo slots are clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The A230 is one of the most underrated gems in the Sony Alpha lineup. What I love about this S\/N: 4989278 is how Sony managed to fit a full-sized APS-C CCD sensor into a body that feels almost like a compact camera. The 18-55mm SAM lens is a significant step up from the older non-motorized kit lenses; it's faster and much quieter. The 'color science' on this sensor is truly special—it gives your photos an organic, high-contrast look that feels very authentic. It's a rugged, honest piece of kit that is perfect for street photography where you want the power of a DSLR without the bulk. For anyone chasing that specific CCD aesthetic, this A230 is a fantastic and portable choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eSony Alpha DSLR-A230 Body (S\/N: 4989278)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eSony 18-55mm f\/3.5-5.6 DT SAM Lens (S\/N: 5172476)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003eSony NP-FH50 Rechargeable Battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003eSony Battery Charger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003eOriginal Sony Alpha Neck Strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: DSLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eSensor: 10.2 Megapixel APS-C CCD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Sony A-mount \/ Minolta AF Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eLens: Sony 18-55mm f\/3.5-5.6 DT SAM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eImage Stabilization: Sensor-Shift (SteadyShot INSIDE)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
