It features
10.2-megapixel resolution on an APS-C size CCD
image sensor with High ISO noise reduction that takes place in the RAW data stage before image JPEG conversion, providing a high ISO of 3200.
An enhanced Super Steady Shot claims to offer from 2.5-3.5 steps anti-shake performance with all alpha lenses. Since the anti-shake
system shifts the CCD
to compensate for camera movement, all alpha lenses
benefit from anti-shake performance. Compatible lenses encompass all Minolta Maxxum® mount lenses, in addition to Sony a (alpha) lens lineup - including Carl Zeiss® lenses.
Changing lenses in a DSLR can
allow dust to enter the camera -- so to keep the
CCD imager clean for better pictures, the Sony
α (alpha) DSLR-A200 camera utilizes both
static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter
and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes
the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera
is powered off.
The large 2.7-in. LCD monitor is high resolution
at 230,000 pixels with the Clear Photo LCD™
design for easy playback viewing. The DSLR-A200 camera’s supplied lithium ion battery offers up to 750 shots per full charge. It supports JPEG and RAW file format. Note that the A200 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 Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A200 kit comes
with a DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 3.9x zoom lens, with a 35mm equivalent focal
length of 27-105mm. The DSLR-A200W kit includes the DT 18-70mm lens and a 75–300mm f4.5-5.6 lens.
