For more than 60 years, Sony products have been created in accordance with an ambitious set of performance and design ideals to provide the most enjoyable experience possible.
24.6 Mega Pixels
With 24.6-megapixel resolution that captures details so fine, and color so rich and natural, you will never be satisfied with anything less again.
35mm Full-Frame Imaging
Designed specifically to take advantage of the superb resolving power of high-precision α 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.
The image sensor is designed specifically for 35mm full-frame imaging, and is produced using proprietary Sony planarization technologies to ensure an ultra-flat surface across the entire imaging area.
By connecting to Sony's PhotoTV HD-compactible devices using an optional HD Output Adaptor Cable, a whole new world of photos can be comfortably enjoyed in breathtaking full HD quality.
Even professionals find it hard to keep their DSLRs absolutely still. And tiny movements can spoil a really good shot. So all α cameras incorporate next generation SteadyShot INSIDE technology to combat the effects of camera shake.
The BIONZ processor is unique to Sony. It takes precise visual information captured by the high resolution sensor and processes it to maintain reality, texture and depth whilst reflecting the desired settings and styles selected by the photographer.
High-contrast or strongly backlit scenes can lead to loss of highlight and shadow detail. The α Dynamic Range Optimizer helps maintain optimum exposure and contrast in challenging lighting conditions.
High performance, high resolution sensors lie at the heart of α quality image capture.
Maximising the creative potential of the α lens line-up, they pick up extraordinary detail that’s rich in colour, highlight and contrast, providing the BIONZ processor with optimum visual information with which to ‘craft’ finished photographs.
Dual Anti-dust system
All DSLR owners have to contend with the risk of dust particles contaminating the sensor when they’re changing lenses. So a Dual Anti-Dust System is employed in the α range to reduce the risk of blurry marks spoiling your photographs.
The first component is an anti-static coating on the low pass filter that repels dust, making it easier to remove particles from inside the camera with a blower. The second is a high-speed sensor vibration mechanism that shakes off any particles every time the camera is switched off.
Intelligent Preview
Exclusive to the α900, Intelligent Preview allows you to take a sample image then experiment with the Dynamic Range Optimizer, exposure compensation and white balance settings, and see the results on the 3.0” Xtra Fine LCD screen before actually taking each picture.
This is particularly useful when you want to fine-tune adjustments in advance, when working with a tripod or with a complex shooting set-up.
SteadyShot INSIDE
To match the larger size and higher image quality specification of the 35mm full frame Exmor CMOS sensor, the image stablization system is 1.5x more powerful and 1.3x faster than previous system.
Versatile center dual-cross 9-point AF sensor system provides fast, accurate autofocusing to ensure fewer missed shots.
5 Frames Per Sec
Capture the perfect moment even when you're shooting sports or other active subjects, and still enjoy the rich color and exquisitely fine detail.
The Creative Style options are designed to make it easy for you to achieve your artistic and photographic goals
