Lens Mega Kit

What camera would be better? Sony A230 or the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200?

I'm starting photography soon.
And I have my choices narrowed down to these two cameras to start off with.

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 aslo comes with Sony 18-70mm & 75-300mm Lens Kits. [ It cost $559.00 ]

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 also comes with 18-55mm Lens kit. [ It cost $549.00 ]

They are both 10.2 mega pixel cameras.

What is the better deal, and what is the better camera?
I'm just starting out so I really need help of what would be better to use as my first camera.

Please help.
Thankss.

For $10, get the A-200 with 2 lens kit. The 75-300 is not the best telephoto on the market, but it sure beats not having one at all.

The A230 is a newer version of the A200, with new menus and a slight redesign of the body. The 18-55 is a brand new lens, but if you decide you need one, they are only $150 or so.

The A200 is not hard to use. It is actually a very good camera, it has everything you need to learn photography. The A230 is the same camera inside, with new menus that are more "helpful" to new users. The A230 is aimed at users upgrading from a point and shoot to a DSLR, so that the experience isn't so difficult. Or at least that's what they say.

Get the A200 with 2 lens kit. You'll appreciate the versatility.
