Follow your creative passion wherever it leads you. Capture stunning images with the versatility of interchangeable lenses – all without the size and weight of a DSLR. Don't compromise with ultra-desirable styling and serious photo features.
The ultra-high resolution 24.3 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor offers phenomenal imaging performance: like a DSLR camera, but without the size and weight. You'll see the difference with richly detailed, low-noise pictures, even in low light.
Frame and shoot - even in bright sunshine - with the camera's viewfinder held close to your eye. The Tru-Finder™ gives an ultra-clear, high contrast view of the scene. It's great for composing still photos and HD video with confidence.
Why compromise your artistic vision? Select from a choice of compact E-mount lenses - from ultra-slim wide angle to powerful telephoto zoom. Or add an optional mount adaptor and enjoy the limitless possibilities of your A-mount lens collection.
Capture smoothly detailed Full HD videos with quick autofocus to track the action - even while you're zooming. Beautiful background defocus effects add an extra dimension to creative movie shooting.
Make quick, intuitive adjustments of exposure, focus mode and other settings. The new Tri-Navi interface gives you full creative control with two large mechanical dials.
