Title: Spring
Post by: NWTFhunter on April 24, 2010, 11:45:32 AM: Kim purchased a Sony A230 recently and we have been having a good time taking lots of pics with it. Mostly Kim has been burning the shutter though. I would have loved to take it turkey hunting with me, but that wasnt going to happen !!!

Here are a few of my favorites from the past month.

I would have loved to have it when guiding as I would have been able to take some real good pics.

I have been looking for a good camera for myself. I will have to look up info about Kims model. Those are some great pics you posted.

I tried to get her to go cannon, but since she already had a Sony, she didnt want to change. Come to find out the battery pack is not interchangable with the other Sony. :chuckle:

But she is happy with it and thats what matters.

Its the Sony A230, there is a rebate on them currently at bestbuy and other locations from what I read. A good zoom lens is also fairly inexpensive right now too.

Post by: NWTFhunter on April 24, 2010, 02:09:15 PM: We drove across the river so we didnt have to pay sales tax, she paid 450. It came with a 3.5-3.6/18-55. She found a nice zoom at Kits for 149 that she is looking at. But from what I have seen the price of the camera has come down a 100 ! Check out stores in the portland area and if you find something I could possibly pick it up for you ?

I have an 18 to 70 Sony kit lense for each camera and I have a 70 - 210 Sigma, a 35 - 80 Minolta, a 50mm Minolta and a Manual 500mm F8 (Don't remember the make) for them. Al l work great on the Sony DSLR's
