Ok now I am suspicsous because some of that info is not right the A230 does have body stablisation since sony added it in body to reduce weight and make it compatable with all lenses.
it doesnt seem right somehow. the 230 is very popular for beginners
A230 sucked for ergonomics and it was too cut down. We needed a proper A200 update and never got it. This is what happens when you have a company that has too much handycam and cybershot, not enough people who actually do photography and know what folks want.
