On Friday, Sony has announced its new entry-level camera, the A68. The company's new camera features a 4D Focus Technology which works best at low-light settings, a report from Tech Times said.
"The new Alpha A68 DSLR interchangeable lens camera has a 24-megapixel APS-C image-stabilized sensor with a wide ISO with the range of 100-25,000, and a new Bionz X imaging processor that uses diffraction-reducing technologies and noise reduction to produce finely detailed, crisp images," the report said.
According to the report, the 4D Focus Technology in Sony's A68 camera will allow photographers and hobbyists to achieve a desirable result in low-light settings. "Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology allows the user to shoot continuously with the subject remaining in focus as they move throughout the frame."
"The 4D focus is also tied to a new translucent mirror, that, when combined with those 79 AF points, is capable of continuous autofocus tracking at up to 8fps, even low-light situations. On the backside of the camera, photographers will find a 2.7-inch TFT LCD screen with a hinge that can tilt 135 degrees upwards and 55 degrees down," Slashgear reports.
Sony claims that the camera's A68 sensor will be powered by Exmor CMOS, which offers a high value of ISO ranging from 100-25600. The company claims that the camera can also record videos in 1080p quality and has a continuous autofocus feature. Aside from these, there's also a 10 user-customizable buttons which include a SteadyShot Inside feature that will reduce blur when taking photos. The said feature, according to the company, will be compatible to all 34 lenses in the A-mount line.
"Sony says the Alpha A68 will be available starting in March 2016, priced at around $650 for the body only. While this puts it at a price point well below the Alpha A99 and Alpha A77 II models, it seems likely to be replacing the Alpha A58," the report said.
