Sony Alpha A100 Digital SLR Preview

Pocket-Lint have published their preview of the new Sony Alpha Digital SLR DSLR-A100 - it features a 10.2 megapixel sensor with anti-shake, now called Sony Steadyshot, an anti-dust sensor, a 2.5" screen with 230,000 pixels, and a Minolta lens mount. Price is expected to be $899/£599 body only or $999/£699 with kit lens, with the camera becoming available next month:

"Sony has got to this point so quickly by buying Konica Minolta’s (KM) D-SLR technology, KM’s crown jewels if you will. The KM Dynax/Maxxum heritage is obvious in the new Alpha too, from the same lens mount, through to the camera’s control layout, the 2.5-inch, 230k-pixel colour screen that doubles as the Navigation Display (so no top plate data LCD) on to the sound the shutter makes, you can feel and hear the KM heritage within."
