Sony 14.2 megapixel Alpha series digital SLR camera with 18 55mm lens

The perfect shot is waiting

We all know we're looking for it. Those perfect moments to photograph, frame, post, or display for our friends, family, and soon-to-be friends to see. But what if every shot could be the perfect shot, rather than any shot? Sony's DSLRA560L certainly prepares you for that possibility, featuring a 14.2-megapixel EXMOR image capturing chip with BIONZ processor that works with an expanded Live View system to help you preview all your shots just the way they're taken. And just in case that moment is one of those come and gone types that you're afraid you may miss, the DSLRA560L has ultra fast shutter speeds, able to take pictures at up to seven frames per second. Sony also includes plenty of options; you can let the camera take control with Intelligent Auto shooting, or you can adjust nearly everything from the white balance, the exposure, the shutter time, and more. On-screen help answers questions on the fly, so if you're feeling overwhelmed, this camera is there to help. So keep on shooting, and let the DSLRA560L help you treat every shot like a perfect one.

A steady shot, no matter the situation, no matter the lens

Many a "perfect shot" has fallen victim to a common culpritâ€‚â€”â€‚cold temperatures, adrenaline, anything that causes hand shake. Building on years of expertise, Sony has developed the world's first body-integrated image stabilization solution for a full-frame DSLR. The SteadyShot INSIDE in-camera image stabilizer actually shifts the image sensor to compensate for camera shake without sacrificing image quality. The compensation effect is equal to as many as four shutter-speed steps, giving you more creative freedom when shooting in low light. Further, because SteadyShot INSIDE technology is integrated into the DSLRA560L's body, it works with all compatible Sony Alpha system lenses.

Dual memory slots

Giving you versatile options when choosing image-storage media, the DSLRA560L sports dual memory-card slots. Each slot supports both SD media and Memory Stick Duo memory cards.

The ultimate view

Your ability to see your subject is crucial to composing and exposing the perfect shot. Sony's Alpha DSLRA560L offers both a clear view of any subject and advanced technologies for customizing a shot's exposure, whether before or after the shot. It offers viewfinder magnification of 0.80x, allowing you to see an image nearer to its actual size, as well as 100% field coverage for detailed framing work. The 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD viewscreen offers stunning detail for both reviewing and correcting images right on the camera.
