Sony Alpha DSLRA900 Body
The new standard in digital photography has arrived with the Sony α DSLR-A900. Packed with features, this flagship DSLR is the first α to incorporate a 35mm full frame image sensor and 24.6-megapixel resolution. It also incorporates the world's first body-integrated, full-size SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization technology.You'll also experience a larger capture area, improved wide-angle performance and tighter depth of field control with the new full frame Exmor™ CMOS image sensor. Equipped with Dual BIONZ™ imaging processors, the α900 delivers continuous shooting up to 5 fps with superb image quality and ultra-low noise. The α900 also offers a large, ultra-bright glass pentaprism viewfinder with 100 percent coverage, a 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD™ display and HDMI™ output with PhotoTV HD compatibility. The DSLR-A900 is a camera body only and does not include a lens.
Note: Sony α (alpha) lenses with the Digital Technology (DT) designation are not recommended for use with DSLR-A900. Although DT lenses can be used with α900, they can only realize a maximum of 11MP image size, and are not guaranteed to provide accurate Auto Exposure performance.
35mm-Style "Full Frame" 24.6MP Exmor CMOS Sensor
The 35.9 x 24mm 35mm-size "Exmor" CMOS image sensor is ~2.35x larger than typical APS-C size sensors, and the large capture area affords more sharpness, tonal graduation, and depth of field control. Best of all, pixels themselves dominate the square footage.
World-Class Viewfinder
Glass pentaprism optical viewfinder with 100% coverage, 0.74x magnification, and 20mm eye relief. Low magnification makes the composition canvas small, distant, and unengaging. High magnification makes a viewfinder's eye relief impossibly short for eyeglass users. Getting both right gives an ideal conduit between ideas and images. Though tough to have long eye relief and full coverage without obnoxiously large glass atop an SLR, Sony's succeeded here. Beyond the numbers, the brightness, size, and viewing comfort of this viewfinder returns to the forefront the primary element of camera/user interaction. There's also a built-in shutter blind and integrated -3 to +1 dioptric correction, and bringing it to the eye disengages the LCD screen.
Professional Construction
Weather, dust, and impact sealing befits a professional SLR, and the DSLR-A900's carbon fiber shutter is high-specification; tested for a min. 100,000 cycles, its 1/8000th second top speed and flash sync with any flash at 1/250th second (1/200th with stabilizer activated) display its manufacturing strength.
Full Frame "SteadyShot INSIDE" Stabilization
Alpha 900's in-camera stabilization redefines common belief; a steadying effect of ~4 shutter speed steps, but with a full frame. Previous in-camera stabilizing corrected movements of ~15x22mm image receiving areas within 24 x 36mm 'full frame' confines, as full frame in-camera correction was believed to result in wider, taller, and thicker housings. At 6.1 x 4.6 x 3.2" (156 x 117 x 82mm), it isn't too big a camera-a little thick, but within professional DSLR standards. The stabilizer works with every mounted lens, instead of being an expensive and occasional component within lenses. As with all stabilizers, they don't speed shutters-only more light, higher ISOs, or larger apertures can do that. Stabilizers benefit typical low light pics as well as handling monster telephoto lenses.
