 Specifications:

• 10.2 Megapixel APS CCD
 The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 Digital Camera incorporates a large, 10.2 megapixel effective resolution, 23.6x15.8mm APS-C-size CCD imager with Sony's advanced design that allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise, thereby providing greater detail when you make big prints or crop in close on your subject
 
• Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization
 Unlike most Digital SLRs, the A100 has image stabilization built into its body, so that any lens you use benefits from a stabilized image. The Super SteadyShot system empowers you to take spectacular shots where un-stabilized lenses would give you blur. It's great anywhere a tripod is unavailable, or in museums where flash is prohibited. It also makes the camera perfect for indoor sports shooting, and candlelit subjects that would be ruined by flash.
 
• Quick Response
 To capture life as it happens, your camera has to be fast. The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 Digital Camera provides exceptional responsiveness, and adds innovative features that further improve speed. At the heart of the 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 battery life.
 
• Sony Alpha Lens Mount
 The Alpha lens mount is identical to the Minolta A-type bayonet mount, enabling the use of a large back catalog of existing Minolta Maxxum & Dynax Lenses as well as third party lenses. These include such cherished Minolta glass as the classic 135mm Smooth Transition Focus (STF), the awe-inspiring 300mm f/2.8 G and the 500mm f/8 Reflex - the world's only AF telephoto reflex lens. Sony is also introducing a range of A-mount optics, including precision Sony standard and zoom lenses, Sony "G" Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, and amazingly bright Carl Zeiss T* coated lenses.
 
• Anti-Dust Technology
 A simple lens change can let dust particles collect on the image sensor surface, degrading picture quality - and once there, dust is difficult to remove. To combat this constant problem, the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 Digital Camera incorporates comprehensive anti-dust technology. A special Indium Tin Oxide CCD coating repels dust, and what little dust gets past this first line of defense is dislodged by a unique CCD "shake" routine - resulting in clean, clear pictures.
 
• Dynamic Range Optimizer
 Why can't a camera capture what the eye sees? Often, the culprit is limited "dynamic range." Expose for shadow detail and you end up blowing out the highlights. Expose for the highlights and you end up crushing the blacks. That's where Sony's Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) comes in. To recover details in dark or bright areas of the picture, the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera provides two levels of Dynamic Range Optimization (DRO): 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, and to maximize detail in both highlight and shadow areas.
 
• High Sensitivity Sensor 
 With high-sensitivity of up to ISO 1600 you'll be able to capture sharp, clear photos that preserve the mood of the scene at hand. The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 Digital Camera can capture great photos without flash even in low light - which makes it an ideal camera for shooting without a tripod or in locations where flash is prohibited.
 
• 9-Point Auto Focus Selection
 The Sony α (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.
 
• Eye-Start Autofocus System
 Most Cameras don't start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed, but that can slow down camera response. The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera incorporates an Eye-Start Autofocus System that begins its precision autofocus adjustments the moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder, to capture fast-action subjects other cameras might miss.
 
• 2.5" Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
 The Clear Photo LCD Plus design of the Sony α (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 check image results.
 
• Continuous Burst Mode at 3 fps
 To catch fast action more effectively, the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera offers continuous JPEG image capture up to the limit of your flash memory card, while the RAW Burst mode captures up to 6 shots using 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 α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera provides full manual exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Exposure Compensation modes. There are also a series of scene modes available for great exposure - even under difficult lighting situations.
 
• Lithium Ion Battery with Stamina Power
 Based on CIPA standard, the supplied NP-FM55H Lithium Ion rechargeable battery lets you take up to 700 shots on a full charge, and recharges quickly with the supplied battery charger.
 
• Dual Media Options
 The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera accepts both CompactFlash (Type I & II) media and Memory Stick Duo media (with supplied adaptor).
