Intelligent Preview function is added too, the camera is working with Memory Stick Duo/Memory Stick PRO Duo/Memory Stick PRO HG Duo/ CF.

The Sony α900 will be available in October.






The α900 full-frame digital SLR will be available from October 2008.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM and 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM lenses will be available from early 2009.

Environmental Info

Eco Info

Sony is engaged in a constant review of its manufacturing, operational and business practices to ensure that its products are developed in an environmentally responsible way. This approach can broadly be divided into three areas:

PRODUCT:

* Halogenated flame retardants are not used in cabinets and certain printed wiring boards.

PROCESS:

* Corrugated cardboard and paper is used for the packaging cushions.
* The body cap of α900 uses polyamide 11 vegetable-based plastic derived from caster oil.

PLANET: Sony is determined to lead the way as a responsible manufacturer, and as a result we are focussing on three key areas of investment:

1. Reducing CO2 gas emissions
2. Increasing the percentage of renewable energy used in manufacturing facilities
3. Minimising the resources used by our factories in manufacturing
