Sony is bringing its Alpha SLT-A68 DSLR camera - announced in Europe back on November 5th - to the US and Canada this spring.
The a68 uses the company's Translucent Mirror Technology, which allows for 8 fps continuous shooting with full-time autofocus, without any blackout between shots. The '4D' autofocus system is borrowed from the more expensive a77 II and features 79 points, 15 of which are cross-type.
The a68 has a 24MP CMOS sensor, which tops out at ISO 25600, and is paired with the not-as-new Bionz X processor. As with all of Sony's A-mount cameras it has built-in image stabilization, so every lens you attach has shake reduction.
From a design standpoint the a68 has a curvy, SLR-style body with a 3" (461k-dot) tilting LCD and SVGA OLED electronic viewfinder. It has twin control dials as well as an info display on the top plate. Also included is a Multi Interface Shoe that supports both flashes and advanced microphones.
The a68 can record Full HD video at 30p with continuous AF using the XAVC S codec, with a top bit rate of 50Mbps. The camera can output clean video over HDMI and also has a jack for an external mic.
Preorders for the SLT-A68 begin in March for shipment in April. The body only kit is priced at $599/800 CAD, while adding an 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens brings the price up to $699/950 CAD.
