Sony is really serious about plunging into the market of DSLRs. After several Alpha series DSLRs and accompanying lenses being released, Sony is not showing any sign of stopping just yet. The latest Sony Alpha A450 is the new DSLR on the block, ready to rock this particular market segment with a lot of great features.

The A450 has a 14.2-megapixel sensor with BIONZ processor. It is definitely one of the best sensor and image processor offered by Sony so far, with superb capabilities in processing vivid and crisp images and lowering noise levels. You can use ISO 12800 and still get amazing pictures easily with this new sensor and image processor.

The 2.7-inch LCD screen may not be special in terms of size, but the quality of LCD used in Sony Alpha A450 is breathtaking for sure. You can also use the viewfinder, capable of covering 95% field of view, to compose and make the shots when it counts. Sony is increasing the development pace, since a lot of new features are also introduced in the A450 including the latest Auto HDR mode.

To make this product complete, Sony adds other features such as an anti-shake corrector, Memory Stick and SD card slots for storage options, and a battery life of up to 1,050 shots between charges. Thinking to buy your next DSLR? The A450 is one great option you should really consider. You will have to be a bit patient though, since this camera is expected to be available on February 2010.
