The Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera is an instant classic: the top-quality 10 mexapixel DSLR system camera that builds on a two-decade legacy of Minolta photographic leadership, accepts 20 years of A-mount lenses sold worldwide—and introduces Sony imaging innovations like high-sensitivity shooting with Super SteadyShot® 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.

| Superior Electronics, Amazing Simplicity |
|
| In the revolutionary new Sony® α (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. |
 |
| 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 fast-moving subjects, the Sony® Super SteadyShot® system automatically reduces image blur. And because it works in-camera, you?ll get the benefit of Super SteadyShot® stabilization with every lens you use. |
|
|
| Dynamic Range Optimizer |
| 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: 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® α (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. |
|
| 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 (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. |
 |
| 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 (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”1 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen |
| The Clear Photo LCD Plus? design of the Sony® α (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® α (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. |
|
| Dual Media Options |
|
| The Sony® α (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera accepts both CompactFlash? Type I/II media and optional Memory Stick Duo? media (with supplied adaptor). |
|
Flexible Exposure Modes
|
|
| For greater creative freedom in a wide range of shooting conditions, the Sony® α (alpha) DSLR-A100 cameraprovides full manual exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority. |
|
| Super-Accurate Exposure Control |
|
| A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy. |
|
| Lithium Ion Battery with Stamina® Power |
|
| A supplied NP-FM55H Lithium Ion rechargeable battery lets you take up to 750 shots2 on a full charge, recharges quickly with supplied battery charger. |
