The Sony Alpha A500 Digital SLR Camera offers excellent image quality combined with fast and responsive shooting, even when using the Live View option, something that often slows the performance of other cameras. The 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor records images in immaculate detail while the Exmor technology cuts noise in the processing phase meaning that your images retain their quality even when taken in low light. The rear LCD screen allows you to really get the best out of the Live View mode, tilting up or down to make composing the image more comfortable, even if the camera is down low for macro shots or held above your head in a crowd. Combined with a new HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode that automatically merges two exposures to capture highlight and shadow detail, the Sony Alpha A500's ease of use is more than matched by the quality of its output.Main Features
