At the high end, the DSLR-A850, $2,000 (body only), is a full-frame camera aimed at experienced shooters, those who may also be considering more expensive models like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700. A full-frame D.S.L.R. has an image sensor that is roughly the same size as a frame of 35mm film, while most entry- and mid-level D.S.L.R.s use sensors that are considerably smaller. The larger sensor enables you to record more pixels with less noise, which translates to better low-light photography.
The A850’s CMOS sensor has a resolution of a whopping 24.6 megapixels and is capable of continuous shooting at the highest resolution at three frames a second. It has a high-resolution (921,000 pixels) 3-inch LCD for reviewing images and framing shots using Live View.
The A850 will hit store shelves in September. Sony also announced a new 28mm to 75mm (equivalent) F2.8 lens for the A850 that will be $800 when it is available in November.
