Sony Alpha 100 DSLR camera
The Sony Alpha 100 camera is an instant classic: the top-quality 10 Megapixel 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 Auto focus system for faster camera response.

Wildlife photography
A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation. Four precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations and deliver visually accurate results even at full telephoto zoom extension. Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change, creating a zoom lens that focuses more quickly and doesn?t affect the balance of your camera. Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens. Three focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch. Pre-orders for the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G Telephoto zoom lens will begin on September 8th, 2006.
