Sony has announced the launch of their new DSLR-A200 camera, the successor to their Alpha A100 Digital SLR. The new model is designed to be faster, lighter and easier to use. Upgraded features include a wider, 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD screen for easy playback viewing; a more compact body and an easily accessible mode dial; an easy-to-use function menu (camera function display); improved noise control for higher quality images; an auto focus speed 1.7x faster than the previous model; improved predictive control performance; quieter shutter sound; automatic pop-up flash; and a battery life indicator that displays the percentage of battery life remaining so you know exactly when to recharge. "With the DSLR-A200, we are helping consumers capture high-quality images with advanced technology that’s practical and easy to use," said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics. "This model is an ideal step-up for point-and-shoot users who are looking for a camera that can capture virtually all of the photographs they want." With its 10.2-megapixel APS CCD image sensor, the DSLR-A200 camera continues to offer high-quality images by allowing more light to pass through to each pixel – increasing sensitivity, reducing noise, and providing greater detail. The DSLR-A200 model supports JPEG and RAW file format support. It has a slot for CompactFlash Type I/II media cards. An adaptor for Memory Stick Duo media cards is sold separately as an accessory. The DSLR-A200K kit includes the camera body and a DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 3.9x zoom lens for about $700. The DSLR-A200W kit includes the camera body, the DT 18-70mm lens and a 75–300mm f4.5-5.6 lens for about $900. Both will ship in the US by February and will be available at sonystyle.com, Sony Style retail stores. No information on the Indian launch of the DSLR-A200 yet. |
