Overview — Sony SLT-A68

The Sony Alpha SLT-A68 is an APS-C camera built around Sony's A-mount lens system, packing a 24.2 MP sensor powered by the BIONZ X image processor. Its ISO range runs from 100 to 25600, giving shooters meaningful flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The autofocus system uses Phase Detection with 79 points, including 15 cross-type points, and supports subject tracking — a useful combination for photographers shooting moving subjects.

Burst shooting tops out at 8 fps, which pairs well with that AF capability for action and sports work. The electronic OLED viewfinder resolves at 1,440,000 dots, while the 2.7-inch tilting TFT LCD offers 460,800 dots of resolution and added compositional flexibility. Video recording reaches up to 1920 x 1080 at frame rates including 60i, 50i, 30p, 25p, and 24p in 8-bit color.

In-body sensor-shift image stabilization is included. The body is constructed from polycarbonate with a metal chassis, weighs 675g, and measures 142.6 x 104.2 x 82.8 mm. Connectivity includes Micro HDMI output, a 3.5mm microphone jack, and USB.

Storage options cover SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo. There is no WiFi or Bluetooth onboard, and weather sealing is not present.
