Product Description
Truly a camera to shake up the DSLR market!! When Konica Minolta decided to withdraw from the camera market last year, they had just started on a collaboration with Sony. As a result, Sony bought the relevant assets & technologies from Konica Minolta, and continued on the development program on their own. This is the fruit of their labours, and it looks to be an absolute cracked of a camera the chip is a slightly tweaked version of that from the Nikon D200, as that is produced by Sony, the revolutionary Minolta CCD shifting anti-shake system has been overhauled by Sony engineers, now producing the effect of a shutter speed 3.5 stops faster that that used, and the ISO1600 setting is now usable as well. If this weren t enough on it s own to get the camera-buying public s mouths watering, the camera includes 2 separate anti-dust technologies we have already heard anecdotal evidence of people changing lenses in the desert with any problems - and look forwards to trying this ourselves! Added to this, compatibility with the large range of Konica Minolta Dynax mount lenses already in the market, and a range of Carl Zeiss optics being launched by Sony later this year, almost double the battery life of the equivalent cameras from other manufacturers, excellent build quality & well thought out design, it s no wonder that Sony are being very bullish about their future place in the DSLR market.
