Description
Create images with impact with the 20.1-meganixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. With its wide sensitivity range, it picks up on every little detail - even in low-light conditions. Together with the BIONZ image processing engine, it ensures crisp, clear pictures every time.
With some viewfinders, shots don't turn out quite as expected. But the high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder gives an accurate, real-time display of the shot you're about to take - right down to camera settings and exposure adjustments. So you can compose with confidence.

Soak up every detail
Create images with impact with the 20.1-meganixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. With its wide sensitivity range, it picks up on every little detail - even in low-light conditions. Together with the BIONZ image processing engine, it ensures crisp, clear pictures every time. -
What you see is what you shoot
With some viewfinders, shots don't turn out quite as expected. But the high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder gives an accurate, real-time display of the shot you're about to take - right down to camera settings and exposure adjustments. So you can compose with confidence. -
Lightning quick shooting
From fast-moving sports to fast-changing facial expressions, capture the moment with a continuous burst of images. A high-performance 15-point autofocus system lets you shoot at a rapid 8 frames per second so you can follow the action as it happens. -
Film fluid Full HD movies
Capture smooth, highly detailed Full HD videos with continuous autofocus to track the action - even when you're zooming in or out. And unlike a DSLR, you can watch the story unfold on the OLED Tru-Finder as you film. -
Master the art of composition
While some photographers have a natural eye for a shot, most of sony could use a little help. Auto Object Framing automatically proposes a pro-style crop of your original picture. Whether you use the suggested version or your original is entirely up to you. -
Catch every moment with two zoom lenses
When you spot the perfect shot, you need the right lens to make it happen. With two compact, easy-to-carry, zoom lenses - one covering the 18 - 55 m range and one telephoto up to 200 mm - you're ready to capture the detail, whenever your eye catches that ideal moment.
