Re: Canon SX230HS....
Although I have a Nikon DSLR, my Canon PowerShot serves me very well and in some situations, better then the DSLR so I wouldn't be too concerned about your choice - it is a good camera in that price range.
In a way, as it is a done deal, perhaps the best thing to do is to use it and see how you like it. Looking forward to seeing some of your postings!

I always say use what you have and learn from that then in time you will move on when you feel ready. Enjoy your new hobby and have fun with it.

It has the P Av Tv and M modes
Various metering options
Various AF and even MF focus options
So yes, it will be a reasonable starting point to learn camera control and photography basics, much better than an Auto only model.
Cheers,
