Sony's creation holds a special place in the consumer segment, employing technologies found in higher-end DSLRs.

Peculiarities

The first atypical solution is the presence of an additional information display on the top panel of the camera body. It displays the main shooting parameters, and in the dark the screen is highlighted in orange. The second nice feature is the large number of autofocus points — there are as many as 79 of them, and 15 of them are cruciform. The central point, moreover, is sharpened to work with high-aperture optics, due to which autofocus clings to the object when shooting in bright backlight.

translucent mirror

The design of the camera also stands out among peers. It uses a translucent mirror typical of Sony DSLRs, which distributes light between the matrix and phase detection autofocus sensors. Because of this feature, the camera has an electronic OLED viewfinder instead of an optical one. It does not have a very high resolution (720x480 pixels), but the picture in it is visible the way the final result will turn out. You can also look at the 2.7-inch screen with a resolution of only 480x320 pixels. The display can move up 135° and down 55°, but, unfortunately, it is not touch sensitive.

Top class

The placement of the controls almost completely duplicates the advanced class Sony Alpha A77-II DSLR. The Sony Alpha A68 also uses the SteadyShot matrix image stabilization system, which makes it possible to shoot at slow shutter speeds handheld without blurring the image in poor lighting conditions. You don’t have to worry about the amount of noise — a high-quality result can be obtained even at ISO 6400.

video filming

The camera records high-quality videos at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at up to 60 fps (up to 30 fps in progressive scan). Using the XAVC S codec opens up wide possibilities in video post-processing. The maximum recording time for clips is limited to 29 minutes.

For growth

The cost of the camera, although it is rather big, nevertheless fully corresponds to the features provided. It is designed "for growth" — after a while you will not run into serious restrictions and will be able to satisfy absolutely all your needs in amateur filming.
