In stock!! The A900. Take it in your hands, and you will know that this is the camera you have been waiting for. Look into its viewfinder, and you will see the world with a clarity that opens your mind to possibilities as limitless as the sky. Revealing a world in which your creativity is free to express itself as never before. From the prominent forepeak of its pentaprism, to the sleek beauty of its magnesium-alloy body, the A900 is finished to a standard of perfection that only Sony could have achieved. And the 24.6-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor that beats at its heart will reward you with a standard of quality that photographers have quested after for generations. Now, at last, the wait is over.
Only a company with Sony's long experience in semiconductor and microprocessor manufacturing could have developed the A900's remarkable new 24.6-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor. Designed specifically to take advantage of the superb resolving power of high-precision á series lenses, its high pixel count and large size assure enhanced image detail and a wider dynamic range that enables colors and subtle tonal gradations to be captured just as the human eye perceives them.
To match the larger size and higher image quality specifications of the new 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor, the A900 features a SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system that is 1.5x more powerful, and 1.3x faster, than previous systems. Enabling you to enjoy handheld shooting at shutter speeds up to 4 steps slower than would otherwise be possible, the body-mounted SteadyShot INSIDE system works with all compatible A system lenses - including macro and wide-angle lenses - and doesn't cause the image degradation that can occur with lens-based optical stabilization systems.
Image processing gets a big boost in speed and power from new dual BIONZ image processing engines on the A900. As a result, even the massive amount of image data captured by the 24.6-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor can be processed instantly, assuring you of quick shooting response and truly natural, what-you-see-is-what-you-get color and tonal gradation. In addition, the dual BIONZ engines apply advanced noise reduction algorithms twice - once prior to RAW data conversion and again during image processing - to ensure an absolute minimum of noise in final image data.
The A900's viewfinder is a masterpiece of optical precision in its own right. Featuring a high-quality optical glass pentaprism and a new high-power condenser lens, it offers truly exceptional brightness, 0.74x magnification (approx.) and a field of view that covers virtually 100% of the 35mm full-frame sensor's large imaging area. A high refractive index glass eyepiece and condenser lenses virtually eliminate distortion, while multi-layer anti-reflective coatings help prevent ghosting. A spherical acute matte focusing screen aids manual focusing by making it easy to identify correct focus, and a high eyepoint improves visibility when wearing eyeglasses.
