Product Description ------------------- Cl) Sony Dslr-A100Kw/18-70Mm F/3.5-4 From the Manufacturer --------------------- Why Sony? Because people want to take better pictures--and the all-new Sony α DSLR-A100 camera makes it easier to explore all the creative possibilities of digital photography. Sony electronic innovations for higher sensitivity, smoother image stabilization, and superior picture quality give the α system spectacular DSLR performance with amazing simplicity. Along with superb Sony and Carl Zeiss lenses and a full range of professional accessories, the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera also builds on 20 years of Minolta camera optics to provide instant compatibility with over 16 million A- lenses sold worldwide. With advanced electronics, superb Sony and Carl Zeiss lenses, and amazing creative capabilities, the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera brings better pictures within easy reach. It introduces Sony imaging innovations like high-sensitivity shooting with Super Steady in-camera image stabilization, Dynamic Range Optimizer to automatically increase detail in bright and dark picture areas, new Anti-Dust technology to keep the CCD imager clean for better pictures, and Eye-Start Autofocus system for faster camera response. It also builds on a two-decade legacy of Minolta photographic leadership, accepting millions of A- lenses sold worldwide. Please note: The "K" in this camera's model number indicates that it is a kit version of the DSLR-A100 ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000DZFWL4/${0} ). Superior Electronics, Amazing Simplicity In the revolutionary new Sony α 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 α DSLR-A100 camera is your gateway to an incredibly sophisticated array of lenses ( http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/1085901 ) and accessories ( http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/1086001 ) --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- lenses sold worldwide. The Sony α DSLR-A100's CCD system provides Steady image stabilization and anti-dust vibration. 10-Megapixel Super HAD CCD A large APS-size CCD imager with Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity, reducing noise, and providing greater detail when you make big prints or crop in close on your subject. Super Steady Optical 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 Steady system automatically reduces image blur. And because it works in-camera, you'll get the benefit of Super Steady stabilization with every lens you use. Sharp, Clear Photos that Preserve the Mood With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony α 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. Static-free anti-dust coating and the A100's anti-dust vibration system keep the CCD free of the dust that can mar images.

( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/photo/detailspages/sony_alpha_dust_lg.jpg ) ) 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 α 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 α DSLR-A100 camera provides two levels of Dynamic Range Optimization: Normal DRO, to improve shadow detail using standard gamma curves for fast -to- 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 α 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. To reduce blur and increase response time, an Eye-Start Autofocus sensor begins the DSLR-A100's precision autofocus adjustments the moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder. Eye-Start 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 α 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-Inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen The Clear Photo LCD Plus design of the Sony α 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 s and check results. Continuous Burst Mode at 3 Frames Per Second To catch fast action more effectively, the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera offers continuous JPEG image capture up to the limit of your flash memory card--plus RAW Burst Mode (up to six s) with intelligent buffer management to allow more s to be captured without waiting for the buffer to clear. 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 Lens The Sony α A100 kit includes a 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 3.9x zoom lens, equivalent to 27-105mm in 35mm photography. 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 α DSLR-A100 camera provides full manual exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Exposure Compensation modes. 9-Point Autofocus Selection The Sony α DSLR-A100 camera gives you all the focusing options you need for composing your with foreground, background or off-center subjects--including manual focus point selection, Spot AF, Continuous AF, and AF Lock.
