Some extracts:

Superfast AF response time – The new 9 point AF is very very fast. If you ever play with any canon dslr, the new A230 has the same fast response feel that I like.

… and …

The new 18-55 SAM is quiet and faster than the old Sony 18-70 DT – The coating is still has that Magenta tint to it. The AF is very very fast.

… finally …

There has been some criticism about the build quality of A230, I for one really like the new lighter plastic body. Grip-complain-aside, I think the design is almost perfect. Cute, Small, lightweight, just love it.
