Sony unwraps its new A900 full-frame Alpha DSLR

Sony Alpha A900 DSLR

Despite that lack of too much hype, Sony’s new Alpha DSLR model, the A900, seems to be a powerful full-frame DSLR camera pocked with features that could match up with the latest DSLR releases from rival companies. Either DSLR prosumers have already sold their souls to either Canon or Nikon, or experiences told them that Sony DSLR cameras are nothing to be excited about.

Anyway, the Sony A900 like we said is a full-frame DSLR. In fact it is Sony’s first full-frame DSLR camera model geared for photo enthusiasts looking for features of a traditional DSLR with a touch of the digital photography age. As such, it features a 24.6-megapixel, 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor with fast imaging processing through a new dual BIONZ processing engines. It also boasts of having the first full-frame sensor with a body-integrated image stabilization system combined with Sony’s SteadyShot Inside anti-shake system. It’s optical viewfinder features a bright, clear display with 100% field of view coverage.

Other features of the A900 DSLR include Dynamic Range Optimizer, 13 creative styles, 3 user programmable memories, 26 mode settings, RAW file processing, HDMI output, Photo TV HD mode, and a 3-inch LCD screen.

The Sony A900 DSLR camera in its rugged, lightweight magnesium alloy, moisture resistant features will be available sometime in November. Sony Style Retail Store will start accepting pre-orders on September 10 with a price of around $3,000 per unit with accessories.
