Good luck with you bidding!              Proprietary new on-chip column A/D conversion and dual noise reduction. The α700's new Exmor CMOS sensor maximizes the performance potential of the α lens lineup with 12.24- megapixel resolution that's rich in highlight and shadow detail. Because proprietary Sony noise reduction technologies are applied right on the Exmor CMOS sensor itself, signal output is exceptionally clean even at sensitivity settings as high as ISO 3200. In addition, a 3-layer low pass filter preserves high-resolution detail while suppressing moiré effects and color artifacts. Exmor CMOS Sensor, Bionz (1) Lens (2) Captured image (3) On-chip column A/D conversion + Dual noise reduction (4) RAW data noise reduction (5) Image processing (6) Data compression (7) Recording to memory media: MemoryStick / CF card The Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processing engine work as a team to reduce noise and ensure crisp, accurate reproduction of details captured by the α lens. Improve your accuracy with the 11 point layout The 11-point layout makes it easy to focus on the subject's eyes when taking vertically oriented portrait photos, and it provides good coverage for quick, precise focus with moving subjects, too. Improved accuracy with moving subjects and large-aperture lenses. Experience fewer missed shots with a new, center dual cross 11-point AF sensor system which significantly boosts autofocusing accuracy and speed. The 11-point layout allows great freedom in how subjects are framed, and the system's quick response heightens accuracy when shooting moving subjects. High ISO noise reduction. When ISO sensitivity is set to 1600 or higher, high ISO noise reduction is automatically activated. (High, Normal, or Low is user-selectable.) You can select sensitivity settings from ISO 100 to 3200. ISO 6400 is also available in extended ISO mode. Comparison of body-integrated image stabilization effect. Improved body-integrated image stabilization that works with any α lens. Built right into the camera body, the α700 is equipped with an advanced Super SteadyShot image stabilization system to help prevent blurring caused by camera shake. The system works with any α lens, enabling you to shoot at shutter speeds from 2.5 to 4 steps slower than would otherwise be possible, so even shots that would normally require the use of a tripod or flash can be taken handheld. New AF/MF button for easy focus mode switching. The key to simple, responsive focusing is the ability to switch seamlessly between auto (AF) and manual (MF) operation. On the α700, a focus drive clutch mechanism enables you to switch back and forth between the two easily by pressing the new AF/MF button on the back of the camera. Operation is so intuitive, there's no need to alter your grip or take your eye from the viewfinder. Eye-Start grip sensor Eye-Start eyepiece sensor AF illuminator Dual sensors for Eye-Start® AF activation. As soon as you grip the camera and put your eye to the viewfinder, the Sony Eye-Start system automatically activates autofocusing. This means you are able to make the most of almost every photo opportunity.

Anti-dust system (Low-pass filter) (2)Image sensor Dust particles dislodges by sensor vibration Anti-dust protection for cleaner images. With any digital SLR camera, care needs to be taken to ensure that airborne dust particles don't get into the camera and contaminate the sensor when you're changing lenses. On the α700, an anti-dust coating prevents static electricity buildup on the low-pass filter, and makes it easier to remove any stray dust particles inside the camera with a blower. In addition, the image sensor itself is fitted with an anti-dust system that dislodges dust particles by vibrating the sensor at high-speed every time the camera is switched off. HDMI α A700 HDMI Cable (optional) Direct HDMI™ connectivity for hassle-free image quality. A single HDMI cable is all you need to connect the α700 directly to a Sony BRAVIA TV. When the cable is connected, the BRAVIA automatically applies PhotoTV HD settings optimized for still image display, assuring fast screen response and superb image quality. Many digital SLRs have a fixed 3:2 aspect ratio, which means that images displayed on a 16:9 format HDTV can't use the full width of the screen. The α700 eliminates this problem by giving you a choice of 3:2 and wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratios.
