| 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(R) T* coated lenses, professional-quality flash units, and compatibility with over 16 million Maxxum(R), 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(R) Image Stabilization: When you shoot with high SENSITIVITY, the shutter remains open longer -- so to compensate for shaky hands or fast-moving subjects, the Sony Super SteadyShot(R) system automatically reduces image blur. And because it works in-camera, you`ll get the benefit of Super SteadyShot(R) stabilization with every lens you use. |
| | Sharp, Clear Photos that Preserve the Mood: With high-SENSITIVITY (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 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 areas of 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(TM) Image Processor: At the heart of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera is the advanced Bionz(TM) 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(R) battery life. |
| | Eye-Start(R) Autofocus System: Some DSLR systems don`t start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed -- but that can slow down camera response. The Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera begins its precision autofocus adjustments the moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder, to capture fast-action subjects other cameras might blur. |
| | 2.5" Clear Photo LCD Plus(TM) Screen: The Clear Photo LCD Plus(TM) design of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera`s 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. |
| | Super-Accurate Exposure Control: A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy. |
| | Flexible Exposure Modes: For greater creative freedom in a wide range of shooting conditions, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera provides full manual exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority. |
| | 9-Point Auto Focus Selection: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera gives you all the focusing options you need for composing your shot with foreground, background or off-center subjects -- including Manual Focus point selection, Spot AF, Continuous AF and AF Lock. |
| | Lithium Ion Battery with Stamina(R) Power: A supplied NP-FM55H Lithium Ion rechargeable battery lets you take up to 750 shots4 on a full charge, recharges quickly with supplied battery charger. |
| Dual Media Options: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera accepts both CompactFlash(TM) Type I/II media and optional Memory Stick Duo(TM) media (with supplied adaptor). |
