DSLR-A100

Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (body)
With Sony, Anyone Can Shoot Like a Pro. Sonys (alpha)DSLR-A100 camera combines 10 MP performance, high-sensitivity shooting, Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization, Dynamic Range Optimizer to recapture detail and Eye-Start Autofocus for faster response -- plus precision Sony and Carl Zeiss lens systems and Minolta A-mount lens compatibility Superior Electronics, Amazing Simplicity In the revolutionary new Sony (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, Sony digital technology takes you a giant step toward professional performance - with advanced imaging, image stabilization and creative control functions, plus ease of operation that helps everyone take better digital pictures right from the start. Advanced Lenses and Accessories The Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera is your gateway to an incredibly sophisticated array of lenses and accessories -- including precision Sony standard and zoom lenses, Sony "G" Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, amazingly bright Carl Zeiss T coated lenses, professional-quality flash units, and compatibility with over 16 million Maxxum, Dynax and A-mount lenses sold worldwide. 10 MP APS-size CCD Imager A large APS-size CCD imager allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise -- and providing greater detail when you make big prints or crop in close on your subject. Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization When you shoot with high sensitivity, the shutter remains open longer -- so to compensate for shaky hands or fastmoving subjects, the Sony Super SteadyShot system automatically reduces image blur. And because it works in-camera, youll get the benefit of Super SteadyShot stabilization with every lens you use. Sharp, Clear Photos that Preserve the Mood With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony(alpha) DSLRA100 camera captures great photos without flash even in low light -- which makes it an ideal system camera for shooting without a tripod or in locations (like museums and churches) where flash is prohibited. Anti-Dust Technology Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera -- so to keep the CCD imager clean for better pictures, the Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off. Dynamic Range Optimizer To recover details in dark or bright areasof the picture, the Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera provides two levels of Dynamic Range Optimization: Normal DRO, to improve shadow detail using standard gamma curves for fast shot-to-shot response time, or Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic range area-by-area for the greatest precision. Bionz Image Processor At the heart of the Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera is the advanced Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry that responds ten times faster than software image processors -improving camera response time, handling Dynamic Range Optimization processing and extending Stamina battery life. Eye-Start Autofocus System Some DSLR systems dont start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed -but that can slow down camera response. The Sony(alpha) DSLRA100 camera begins its precision autofocus adjustments the moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder, to capture fast-action subjects other cameras might blur. 2.51 Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen The Clear Photo LCD Plus design of the Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 cameras built-in screen makes it easy to read camera setup menus even in bright sunlight -- and gives you a better picture when you use your screen to set up shots and check results. Continuous Burst Mode at 3 Frames Per Second To catch fast action more effectively, the Sony(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera offers continuous JPEG image capture up to the limit of your flash memory card -- plus RAW Burst Mode (up to 6 shots) with intelligent buffer management to allow more shots to be captured without waiting for the buffer to clear.
