Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 (black, with 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses)
Fast Live View AF and single-shot performance ; tiltable LCD ; dual card slots ; relatively simple, straightforward operation ; built-in wireless flash and image stabilization ; helpful SteadyShot indicator
Smallish grip ; middling viewfinder ; default settings produce suboptimal photos
The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.
