Sony Alpha A560 Body:
R 9 319.00
The Sony Alpha DSLR-A560 Digital Camera is a camera that answers all
of your questions before you can even ask. High resolution (14.2MP)
APS-C sensor? Yes. Brilliant, tiltable (+/- 90°), large (3")
display with superb resolution (921,600 pixels)? Sure. Dazzling video in
high definition (1080i)? Of course. You want faster focusing? Using the
same "phase detection" auto focus for Live View as for the
optical viewfinder, plus autofocus that begins as soon as you raise the
camera to your eye, you'll catch fast action that others miss.
How about capturing the absolute best quality possible, with RAW and
JPEG file formats? Wouldn't you like to create a 3D panoramic photo
without breaking a sweat? Abolish camera shake forever with image
stabilization and reduced-noise high sensitivity (up to 12,800 ISO)?
With the A560, you get this and much more.
The built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) function combines 3 quick photos
of a high contrast scene and combines them to give you one photo with
the correct shadow, mid-tone and highlight tones for a beautifully
balanced image. 6 scene selections and 6 style modes, including
Portrait, Sports Action, Landscape, Sunset, Night Portrait and Hand-held
Twilight modes are available. Face Detection recognizes and adjusts the
camera for faces in a given scene and Smile Shutter only takes a picture
when it sees a smile on your subject's face.
There's a built-in pop-up flash. You can shoot up to 7 frames per second
if you want to and you can save your images on Memory Stick PRO Duo or
Pro-HG Duo; SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. A lens is not included.
Features:
| 14.2 megapixels; amazing pictures: You get
incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C
sensor size and Sony's Exmor APS HD CMOS technology, the camera
achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity
or sensor noise. |
| Full HD 1080/60i movies: The DSLR-A560
captures Full HD video at 1920x1080/30p and records in
1920x1080/60i and is one of the very few DSLRs with exactly the
same resolution and frame rate as most broadcast and cable HDTV
channels. |
| APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor: With 19.5
times the area of the typical camcorder image sensor, APS-C makes
the difference between amateur and professional-looking video. |
| Quick Auto Focus Live View: Unlike competing
cameras, the DSLR-A560 is just as responsive in Quick Auto Focus
Live View mode as in optical viewfinder mode. That's because,
unlike the others, the A560 uses the same "phase
detection" auto focus for Live View as for the optical
viewfinder. |
| More responsive Live View: Some Live View
systems take a painfully long time to focus. Some even black out
the LCD before focus. Either can cause you to miss shots. Sony's
Quick Auto Focus Live View solves these problems, making it easier
to get the best shot. |
| Focus Check Live View: For critical focus in
macro and tripod shooting, the DSLR-A560 also offers Focus Check
Live View. Temporary 7x and 14x zoom views enable you to focus on
extremely fine detail while the 1x view shows 100% framing in the
LCD. |
| Multi-frame NR : Experience incredible
low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images
in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it
creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two
additional steps of ISO sensitivity. |
| Hand-held Twilight: Get cleaner and sharper
nighttime pictures-beyond the capability of traditional
cameras-without using flash or a tripod. The camera captures six
images in a fraction of a second. |
| Auto HDR built into camera: Captures more
scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle-and more
range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one
shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail
from a third for one incredible shot. |
| Sweep Panorama mode: Capture expansive
landscapes automatically. Press the shutter and sweep vertically
or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting
images and stitching them together. Up to 23 MP image size. |
| 3D Sweep Panoramamode: Capture vast scenic
vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the
panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye
images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television1.
Records both JPEG and MPO file formats. |
| Tiltable 3.0" LCD3: Even if you're
completely comfortable with the optical viewfinder, Sony's
tiltable LCD empowers your photography with a different point of
view. Helps you frame high and low-angle shots that would
otherwise be hit or miss. |
| 7 fps continuous shooting: Up to 7 frames
per second in Speed Priority mode can capture the decisive moment
in sports or get the ideal baby photo. You can also shoot at up to
3 fps with Quick Auto Focus Live View. |
| ISO 12800 sensitivity: Sony's Exmor CMOS
image sensor employs new low-noise processing, for uncommonly
clear pictures. The BIONZ image processor with chroma noise
reduction helps achieve low noise all the way up to ISO 12800,
without sacrificing resolution. |
| 15-Point Auto Focus Sensor: To get the best
shot under a wide range of situations, the A560 uses 11 AF points
with four assist points make for flexible shot composition. Three
cross sensors maximize precision. |
| Face Detection technology: The A560 enhances
Quick AF Live View shooting with Face Detection technology, which
helps you get the best shot by recognizing faces and applying the
proper focus, exposure and white balance. |
| Smile Shutter technology: Another Quick AF
Live View enhancement, Smile Shutter technology automatically
takes the shot when your subject smiles. Works with Quick Auto
Focus Live View to capture spontaneous moments, making the
difference between a missed shot and a cherished memory. |
| Help Guide: Provides ready reference to
advanced camera functions, helping to develop your confidence and
skills as a photographer. |
| Graphic Display: Clarifies the relationship
between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has
on photographic results. |
| SteadyShot INSIDE stabilization: Image
stabilization helps you take blur-free shots by compensating for
camera shake. Typical DSLR systems build image stabilization into
selected lenses only. SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization is
built into the camera body itself. |
| Smart Teleconverter 2x Digital Zoom: In
Quick Auto Focus Live View mode, you can extend the optical zoom
of your lens with digital zoom. One touch zooms in at 1.4x, while
a second touch advances to 2x zoom. The system reproduces pixels
on a 1:1 basis so there's no degradation in picture quality. |
| Powerful Supplied Software: To help you
refine and manage your images, the A560 is equipped with
comprehensive computer software, including Image Data Converter
SR, Image Data Lightbox SR and Picture Motion Browser (PMB). |
| BIONZ image processor: The newest version of
Sony's BIONZ image processor uses chroma noise reduction to
deliver high-resolution, low-noise photos even at ISO 12800
sensitivity. |
| 921K dot Xtra Fine LCD screen: Sony's Xtra
Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution. The Anti
Reflection (AR) coating increases visibility in direct sunlight. |
| Sony Exmor technology: Conventional image
sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters,
which can slow you down. The Exmor sensor provides more than 4,000
column-parallel A/D converters. This helps enable continuous
shooting at up to 7 frames per second. |
