Enjoy the all-new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K camera with an amazing all-around lens to get you started. Included in this kit is the versatile new SAL-18-70 lens. This standard lens easily handles the full range of shots you'll take most often - but there's nothing "standard" about its advanced optical design. In 35mm equivalent, it covers wide-angle 27mm to 105mm midrange telephoto for snapshots, portraits, interiors and more - an excellent all-around lens to travel with.
The Sony A100K DSLR camera is an instant classic: the top-quality 10 MP 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.

| The Rebirth of a Legend. |
 |
| In the revolutionary new Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100K camera, Sony's mastery of digital technology combines with Minolta's legendary SLR technology -- including autofocus and anti-shake compatibility with over 20 years of A-mount lenses sold worldwide. |
| Advanced Lenses and Accessories. |
| The Sony Alpha A100K DSLR camera is your gateway to one of the world's most sophisticated camera systems, 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 more. |
| Super SteadyShot |
| When you shoot in low light, 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. |
| 10.2 MP CCD. |
| A large, 23.6 x 15.8 mm APS-C-size CCD imager with Sony's advanced design 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. |
| Sharp, Clear Photos The Preserve the Mood. |
 |
| With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony a100k digital SLR 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 a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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-A100K 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 a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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. |
| 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 a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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 a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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. |
| 9-Point Auto Focus Selection. |
| The Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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. |
| Flexible Exposure Modes.To catch fast action more effectively, the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100K 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. |
| For greater creative freedom in a wide range of shooting conditions, the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100K camera provides full manual exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Exposure Compensation modes. |
