Product Description

The rugged Sony a850 DSLR features a 35mm full-frame, 24.6-megapixel Exmor CMOS image sensor and SteadyShot INSIDE body-integrated image stabilization for a full-frame DSLR. In addition, Dual BIONZ imaging processors allow continuous shooting up to 3fps with superb image quality and ultra-low noise.

The A850 features a 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS image sensor that is approximately 2.35x larger than the APS-C sized sensors found in many DSLR cameras. The result is a larger capture area, improved wide angle performance, and tighter depth of field control. In addition, its 24.6MP resolution maximizes the resolving power of your existing lenses and delivers sharper, higher contrast photos.

Building on years of expertise, Sony has developed the worlds 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. And, because it is integrated into the camera body, SteadyShot INSIDE technology works with all compatible a (alpha) system lenses.

High-performance Carl Zeiss large-aperture zoom. The SAL-2470Z Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar f2.8 24-70mm Zoom Lens is a brilliant all-around performer -- with SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) design for fast, silent auto-focus, pro-quality Carl Zeiss T coated optics to reduce lens flare, and 17-element design with two aspherical and two ED glass lens elements to minimize distortion and virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. It benefits from the Super SteadyShot image stabilization built into every Sony α system DSLR -- and its wide-angle to medium telephoto range in compact, lightweight design is ideal for a wide range of shooting applications (35mm equivalent: 36-105mm).

Sony a850 and zeiss 24-70 fantastic, Willougbys's tried hard but didn't deliver
 
Review Date: July 1, 2010
Reviewer: bjfox1,
The Sony a850 and Carl Zeiss lens, of course, were great. . . I have to get used to the menu but straight out of the box the pictures are fantastic. . .but buying from Willoughby's was nightmare. They started off by sending me a used camera. And the other side items advertised in the bundle were different from what I actually got. For example, the camera case I ended up getting was not a Sony Alpha case, the card reader was different, but lens cleaning kit different. The compact flash memeory card with 32MB sounded good, but would not work with the either the first camera, or the replacement that finally got to me 3 weeks later.

They seemed to try really hard, but they kept telling me they would send me what I wanted, but they didn't. I really wanted the Sony alpha LCS-SC11 case they advertised but NEVER got it. They sent me a lot of extra things, I guess, to make up for their mistakes, but it is a waste. Over a month later, I have two little desktop tripods that cannot support the heavy camera. I have two cleaning kits for the camera that are actually for GPS's. I have two camera cases: one for a Sony cybershot and one some off brand with an 'a' on it they told me was made by Sony, but is not. They sent me a filter kit with 3 filters, but I don't know if they are of a quality that would allow me to take pictures that wouldn't negate the quality of the $1600 lens. I would never order anything else from them, nor Amazon.. . .accept for books.
