Sony Alpha SLT-a99 DSLR Digital Camera Body, Black {24.3MP}

The Sony SLT-A99 is a feature rich professional level full frame camera body that notably uses the combination of a clear high contrast OLED EVF (Organic Light Emitting Diode Electronic Viewfinder) and a pellicle mirror to provide enhanced viewing capabilities while at the same time using ultra responsive phase detection autofocus technology.  The A99 is an very full featured high performance camera built to handle extreme usage by demanding photographers who want the highest quality images in any situation.

Unlike conventional DSLRs, the SLT-A99 uses a non-moving translucent mirror to split a portion of the light coming from the lens towards a dedicated Phase Detection AF sensor and the rest goes to the image sensor without interruption; this SLT arrangement (perfected on previous Sony models) produces a simultaneous continous feed for both the dedicated Phase Detection AF system and the ImageSensor/EVF by alleviating traditional mirror 'black-out'.  The beautiful 2.4 million dot OLED EVF makes it possible to see images right off the sensor and allows helpful overlays of setting information including 'focus peaking'.  The EVF makes it easier to see in both low light and bright light.  A highly reposition-able 3 inch 1.228 million dot 'True Black' RGBW LCD screen is also provided for playback or shooting from unique positions.

The SLT-A99 uses a big full 35mm frame low noise high resolution 24 megapixel sensor that offers ISOs from 100-6400 (25,600 expanded).  Another unique SLT-A99 feature not found in it's pro camera competitors is Sony's Steady Shot Inside sensor shift image stabilization.&nsbp; Perfect for available light, sensor shift stabilization extends the benefits of optical stabilization to a myriad of lenses including ultra fast fixed primes.

THE SLT-A99 also leverages Sony's considerable video expertise with 1080p60 capture and amenities like a silent controls, separate mini-jacks for headphones and mics, HDMI output, a built-in stereo mic and a 'multi-interface' shoe which connects not just powerful flashes but also Sony stereo mics or XLR connector boxes. the EVF and metering.

The SLT-A99 delivers a great experience, it's a serious camera to have lot of fun with, and a revolution to use.
