Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Camera

It is always believed that sharing knowledge and combinational effort always gives good results, and that is the point with the all new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Camera. In July 2005 Konica Minolta and Sony entered into a treaty that focused on technology sharing between the electronics and photography giants. The treaty stated that they were to jointly develop digital SLR cameras. This agreement hinted at shared technology between the two companies such as auto focus, metering and Anti-Shake coming from Konica Minolta and sensors, electronics and batteries from Sony.
It was believed that this is the beginning of a new era of photography products combining excellence in technology and accessory features. But to everyone's surprise, some six months later Konica Minolta announced that they were withdrawing from the camera business and had transferred certain camera assets including the Maxxum/Dynax lens mount and related SLR technologies to Sony.Almost a year on since that first announcement we have the new Sony Alpha DSLR-A100, a compact, ten megapixel (CCD) digital SLR with a (Konica) Minolta lens mount, Anti-Shake (now Super SteadyShot) and a definite cross-breed appearance. It's fair to say that while this camera may share some components with previous Konica Minolta digital SLR's Sony's involvement has brought external styling, build quality and finish up to a higher standard. The lens mount is to be called the 'Alpha mount' and Sony has announced no less than 19 lenses which will carry the Sony Alpha branding (although many are based on existing Minolta lenses).
