The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 is an entry-level APS-C digital SLR introduced in 2009. It was positioned as a low-cost gateway into Sony's Alpha system, aimed at first-time DSLR buyers stepping up from compacts.

Sales data for the A230 is thin, but a recent UK auction hammer result of £40 in July 2025 indicates where the model currently sits at saleroom level — wholesale, not retail. With only one verified data point in 2026, the price a DSLR-A230 sells for is best treated as indicative rather than a firm market value, and condition, working battery and the presence of a kit lens will materially shift what the camera is worth today.
