Introducing the Sony Alpha SLT-A58 interchangeable lens camera, a DSLR that is designed for first-time interchangeable-lens camera users, and includes a new Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor with approx. 20.1 effective megapixels as well as a SVGA OLED Tru-Finder within its sophisticated compact body. Translucent Mirror Technology realizes high image quality and easy live view shooting, while Lock-on AF and Auto Object Framing enable anyone to capture images of supreme quality.
You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the 20.1 megapixel APS-C sensor size and Sony Exmor APS HD CMOS technology, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor noise.
Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. The SLT-A58, with Translucent Mirror Technology, directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.
Record stunning high quality 1080 Full HD Video in either 60i or 24p frames per second. Records in your choice of 1080/60i or 24p Blu-Ray quality AVCHD format or in PC-friendly 1080/30p MP4 format.
Using the 15-point autofocus sensor and Sony's subject recognition technologies, Object Tracking AF can maintain accurate focus on your subject even when it changes position in the frame.
