Highlights:

The quick response, creative style modes and high-speed shooting of the Sony A700 Digital SLR help you capture your creative vision. For extra-crisp images, sony's Super SteadyShot image stabilization feature conveniently works with every lens available for the Alpha A700. You'll enjoy impressive wide-angle as well as mid-range telephoto shots with the included SAL 18-70 lens. For further improvement of picture quality and reduction of blur, the Eye-Start Autofocus system uses an 11-point center twin-cross AF sensor for phenomenal results. All these features, combined with Sony's innovative Anti-Dust Technology and a rugged magnesium alloy body, give you, as a photographic explorer, the ultimate DSLR.

12.24 MP Exmor Imaging Sensor
A newly designed APS-C size CMOS imager with on-chip noise-canceling before and after A/D conversion provides over 12 million pixels, drawing out the full image description power of the Alpha DSLR-A700's high-performance lenses and providing spectacular detail for making big prints. Advanced on-sensor A/D conversion yields rich tonal reproduction with high signal-to-noise ratio.

Professional Lenses and Accessories
The Alpha DSLR-A700 accepts a broad array of precision optics, including Sony wide-aperture zoom lenses that perform brilliantly over a wide range of focal lengths, Sony G Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, amazingly bright Carl Zeiss T* coated lenses, and any of the over 16 million Minolta a-mount lenses sold worldwide - plus professional-quality flash units and system accessories to expand your creative horizons.

Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Built-in technology moves the image sensor in response to camera shake, enabling every lens to benefit from automatic blur reduction - and provides an advantage of up to 4.0 shutter speed steps to sharpen images in lower light, for hand-held shots that would normally require a tripod.

Bionz Image Processor
At the heart of the Alpha DSLR-A700 DSLR camera is the advanced Sony Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry that improves camera response time, screens out noise before RAW data conversion, handles Dynamic Range Optimization processing and prolongs battery life.

Dynamic Range Optimizer
To recover details in dark or bright areas of the picture, the Alpha DSLR-A700 provides multiple levels of Dynamic Range Optimization: Standard mode, to improve shadow detail using standard gamma curves; Advanced Auto mode, allowing you to select any of 5 DRO correction levels, or DRO Advanced Bracketing, that automatically takes three shots at different DRO levels with a single shutter press.

Continuous 5 Frames-Per-Second Advance at 12.24 MP
The high-speed processing power of its Bionz engine, a quick-response coreless motor to drive the shutter, and dual mirror stoppers to prevent mirror bounce - they all enable the Alpha DSLR-A700 to capture action more effectively at either 5 or 3 frames per second, even shooting at full 12.24 MP resolution. You can also shoot continuously to the limit of available memory in JPEG Fine and Standard modes.

Advanced Pentaprism Viewfinder
With a bright focusing matte, an optical glass prism and glass lenses that prevent ghosts inside the finder, the Alpha DSLR-A700's viewfinder image makes it easier to see your subject, compose your shot and adjust focus manually.

Eye-Start Autofocus System
The Alpha DSLR-A700 begins its precision autofocus adjustments the moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder - so you'll be ready to catch the perfect moment.

11-Point Center Dual Cross AF Sensor
A newly developed Sony AutoFocus system with a large f2.8 sensor improves your ability to frame the subject and capture moving subjects with greater focusing precision - and a focus drive clutch lets you switch seamlessly between auto and manual focusing by pressing a simple button.

Super-Accurate Exposure Control
A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Simple Camera Control Menus
Even with all its high-tech features, the Alpha DSLR-A700 is amazingly simple to operate - and a quick press of the Function (Fn) button switches the LCD display from standard menu information to a new Quick Navigation screen for camera setup via joystick and forward-back controls. The menus are easy and intuitive - and memory function lets you save and recall personalized camera settings.

Creative Custom Settings
The Alpha DSLR-A700 is designed to bring out your creativity with a wide range of auto preference settings, including four basic image styles (Standard, Vivid, Neutral and Adobe RGB) and three style-box memory settings for quick setup in special events like weddings and competitive sports.

Easy-to-Use Exposure Mode Dial
The Alpha DSLR-A700's top-mounted dial gives you quick access to Program Auto, Aperture priority, Shutter-speed priority, Manual and full Auto exposure setting modes - as well as six scene selection modes that optimize camera focus, exposure, brightness, contrast and other settings for Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset and Night View/Portrait scenes.

Quick Setting Recall
The C button allows you to make changes more quickly by calling up Creative Style settings, Exposure compensation, Flash compensation and many more operating modes and camera functions.

Stamina Power
To give you confidence for long shooting sessions in the field, the Alpha DSLR-A700 can take up to 650 shots3 on a fully charged NP-FM500H InfoLithium battery and indicate to you how much battery power remains.

Built-In Flash
The Alpha DSLR-A700 flip-up flash covers a wide focal range, synchronizes at 1/250 sec., supports red-eye reduction and slow flash features as well as manual flash mode to set flash intensity. A wireless flash signal is available for external flash synchronization.

Anti-Dust Technology
Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera - so to help keep the CMOS imager cleaner for better pictures, the Alpha DSLR-A700 utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.

Rugged Magnesium Alloy Body
The Alpha DSLR-A700 is built to very high standards of durability and performance - so you can shoot on location in difficult conditions with confidence that your equipment will be up to the challenge.

XtraFine 3-inch LCD Screen with 921k Pixels
With almost 1 MP performance, it's like having a high-resolution photo viewer built into your camera - and the Alpha DSLR-A700's amazing photo-quality screen displays sharp, bright images even outdoors with a wide viewing angle so you can share photos more easily.

PhotoTV HD Viewing with HDMI Output
The Alpha DSLR-A700 provides direct HDMI output to your Bravia HDTV and other compatible HDTV screens, so you can view and share photos in breathtaking clarity and detail. You can choose between standard 3:2 and widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio - and with new Bravia HDTV models, photos are automatically optimized in sharpness, gradation and color reproduction for HD display.

Wireless Remote Control
For shooting as well as viewing convenience, Sony supplies a multi-function wireless remote control with the Alpha DSLR-A700 - allowing you to control HDTV photo viewing and trip the shutter by remote to put yourself in the picture.

Versatile Recording Formats
Images can be captured in RAW, cRAW (optimized for fast action), RAW+JPEG and three JPEG modes (Extra Fine, Fine and Standard), for greater versatility in every digital photo application.

Powerful Supplied Software
The Alpha DSLR-A700 comes with a powerful RAW conversion and image management system and newly developed RAW software that gives you the power to handle large volumes of RAW data while taking full advantage of the sophisticated imaging capabilities of the Alpha DSLR-A700.

Dual Media Options
For image capture with optional media you may already own, the Alpha DSLR-A700 has built-in slots for both CompactFlash Type I/II media and Memory Stick Duo media or high-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media.

Sony SAL-1870 - 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens

In 35mm equivalence, this lens covers the same range of views that you'd get using a 27-105mm lens on a 35mm camera. That means it's an excellent choice for snapshots, portraits, travel, interiors and more. But, while this superb standard lens handles the full range of your most common shots, there's nothing standard about its advanced optical design.

DT Lens Design
A more compact, lightweight lens designed specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in the Sony ± (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera.

Aspherical Lens Elements
To correct visual aberrations at wide-angle setting, enabling a lightweight lens to capture more visually accurate wide-angle shots.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
To reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.

Circular Aperture
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing, circular defocused effect.
