The DSLR-A100, or Alpha 100, is Sony’s first interchangeable lens digital SLR camera. The Alpha 100 is the result of the fusion of Konica Minolta SLR and Sony’s experience. It borrows a lot from the Dynax camera designs, but also shows Sony’s imprint, be it by its 10-megapixel CCD, or the incorporation of a Super Steady Shot stabilization system that allows any compatible lens to be stabilized, a strength of this approach, as opposed to building the stabilization into the lens.

SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) and Sony Corporation today announced the development of the “Memory Stick PRO-HG” format expanded from the “Memory Stick PRO” format. The continuing increase in the capacity of IC recording media has broadened its usage as a practical way to store high-resolution digital photos, music and video content (from the Internet or TV programs) on portable devices that are designed to handle digital entertainment content. The demand for real-time recording and transfer of multiple gigabytes of data using IC recording media is expected to increase rapidly, due to the growing popularity of high resolution video and digital still image applications.

In this comparison review, we’re looking at the three most prominent cameras – the Sony Alpha A100, the Canon Rebel XTi and the Nikon D80. The Canon and the Sony are both available online for under $900 with a lens and both offer dust removal and reduction features. The Sony has in-camera image stabilization – Super Steady Shot technology that moves the sensor in response to camera shake. The Nikon lacks dust technology and stabilization, but goes for about $1100 with a similar lens (it’s under $1000 for the body alone). Is there a separate niche for each of these, or is one simply a better buy?
