Morning!

I have the A230 and like you, i'm a complete novice with SLR's so I wanted something fairly simple that I can use.

Mine (which is obviously a few models down from yours) still has loads of features on it and some I still don't understand, thank goodness for the 'Auto' mode. It does helpfully have on screen guides.

As mentioned, can't go wrong with Sony.

As your a pure novice, you will be mind boggled by all the settings on that camera Spenny, my advice is for you to go for this camera as a starter....so easy to use you could do it no problem.

i used to have a Nikon d90 mate fantastic camera now got a nikon d5000 with the same sensor as the d90 and is a fantastic camera with amazing image quality and spec and it also does hd video too!! get yourself another lens like the Nikon 55-200vr or a sigma or tamron 70-300mm and bits and bobs for the same money
