Sony Electronics has introduced its latest enthusiast-level rangefinder-style APS-C mirrorless camera equipped with 26MP CMOS and IBIS. The new camera features a 26MP BSI CMOS APS-C sensor with 5-stops In-body Image Stabilization and a Bionz XR Processor with a dedicated AI processing Engine. This allows the camera to shoot up to 11 fps with the mechanical and electronic shutter. It has over 759 AF points with 93 percent coverage and supports AF tracking with subject recognition.
It has an ISO range of 100-32,000
(expandable to 50-102,400) and a shutter speed range of 30 seconds up to 1/8000
