Sony's Alpha DSLR-A300 treats you to crisp, 10.2-megapixel pictures and an array of photo-taking conveniences designed to help you get that perfect shot.
Easy shooting from any angle
Unlike some digital SLRs, this camera gives you two ways to compose and shoot your pictures. You can frame your photos with the 'A300's traditional optical viewfinder. Or, spot your subjects and frame your shots using the camera's responsive Live Preview LCD — just like you would with a point-and-shoot camera. Plus, the LCD's tilt-screen design lets you adjust it up or down for super-convenient shooting from tricky high- or low-angle positions.
Enjoy spotless, blur-free pictures
The 'A300's built-in image stabilization system minimizes blurry pictures caused by camera shake, and works with any lens you use. You can also count on spotless pictures thanks to anti-dust technology that uses vibration to shake dust off the sensor each time you power down the camera.
Versatile SLR design
The 'A300's comfortable rubberized hand grip and well-balanced body make it easy to hold. The supplied 18-70mm Sony zoom lens provides great wide-angle and all-around picture-taking, while the 55-200mm telephoto lens lets you zero in on more distant action. Save your images to optional CompactFlash® memory cards (no memory included).
