Great value for anyone interested in using lenses from the '80s and '90s.

I wanted to get a Sony DSLR for lens compatibility with Minolta AF and I'm not dissapointed in that regard. The picture is great, works well with all the old lenses I've tried, and has plenty of features. I don't find it horribly heavy or uncomfortable to use from a weight perspective, however the articulated LCD tends to stick out a little more than I'd like and I'm often finding my nose pressed against it when using the viewfinder. Given the condition of the unit I received, I'd say I got a pretty good deal on it, but if I had the chance to go back, I'd probably look longer and harder at the a230 or a330 for a little more features. The LCD generally provides "poor" image representation in LiveView, and I never use it. So the 230 would probably suit my needs perfectly.
