Good to know:

Dust protection system
To combat dust, Sony has created a unique double protection system. This system combines a protective coating on your DSLR's CCD sensor that keeps out dust, and a mechanism that gently shakes the sensor when the camera is turned off to remove any dust trapped in the body.

SteadyShot INSIDE
Sony's stabilization technology for Handycam camcorders, Cyber-shot digital cameras, and DSLRs uses a shake detection method (through gyro sensors). The result (blur reduction) is equally good on all cameras, but each of them has a slightly different technology.

Optical viewfinder
The optical viewfinder is used in bright sunlight or in poor lighting conditions where the LCD display is hard to see. It can also be used in place of the LCD to reduce power consumption.

BRAVIA Sync
BRAVIA Sync allows you to control other Sony devices, such as a Handycam camcorder or Blu-ray Disc player, from the comfort of your favorite armchair, with just one remote control from your BRAVIA TV. Or, if you connect the camera to a BRAVIA TV with an HDMI cable, you can use the TV remote control to view photos and videos stored on the camera.
