Sony is jumping into the digital single lens reflex (D-SLR) camera market with today’s introduction of the α (Alpha) DSLR-A100 system. The system combines advanced SLR features with other Sony digital imaging innovations.

Sony and Konica announced last year that they will jointly develop digital SLR cameras. This Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 is the result. It has a 10.2 megapixed CCD sensor so expect high quality pictures with this camera. It will be introduced with 19 high-quality sony lenses compatible with most of the former Konica-Minolta maxxum mount lenses.

One very nice feature is the anti blur technology. It uses high light sensitivity (up to ISO 1600) and Super SteadyShot image stabilization, a Sony technology that shifts the image sensor to compensate for camera movement.
