Sony on Tuesday unveiled its first digital single lens reflex (D-SLR) camera, the 10.2-megapixel alpha DSLR-A100.
One of the camera’s main features is its use of Super SteadyShot, developed by Sony to compensate for camera movement and reduce the number of photographs that turn out blurry. The technology allows more photos to be taken hand-held with natural light, rather than requiring a flash or tripod, according to the company.

The DSLR-A100 can shoot three frames per second, and can take 750 photos on a full battery charge, Sony said. It accepts both CompactFlash memory cards and Sony’s own Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Pro Duo, the latter requiring an adapter supplied with the camera.
Sony said the DSLR-A100 camera body will be available for about US$900, with the DSLR-A100K kit, which includes the camera body along with an 18-70mm zoom lens, available for about $1,000. Both will ship in the U.S. in July, the company said.
