Capture unforgettable moments for posterity with the Sony Alpha a68 Digital SLR Camera Body. The world's highest number of phase-detection AF points (79) covering a wide AF area will catch moments that last for a lifetime.

Dials, controls and displays make shooting more intuitive and immediate to optimize operability.FEATURES:79-point high-density phase-detection AF system covers more action - Get superior autofocus reliability with 79 high-density AF points, including 15 cross-type points. Translucent Mirror Technology enables precise phase-detection AF even with continuous shooting and movie modes.Proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology - Sony's unique design replaces a DSLR moving mirror with a fixed translucent mirror, which allows ultrafast shooting with continuous use of accurate phase-detection AF.High image quality and wide ISO range for stills/movies - The large Exmor CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.2 MP5 provides for high image resolution, delicate tonal gradation and expressive bokeh. And the BIONZ X featuring advanced image reproducing technologies and processes vast data from the sensor at high speed for more realistic images. The duo is a perfect match for shooting in the wide ISO range of 100-256006 and producing beautifully sharp, clear results.Supports 50Mbps XAVC S7 format - For high image quality and minimal noise, you can record movies in the high-bit-rate XAVC S7 format, which enables Full HD image recording at 50Mbps (30p/25p8,24.2p).Tiltable LCD screen - Tilt the LCD screen to shoot from most angles, max. 135? up and 55? down, including over your head or on the ground. The 2.7-type screen displays clear, brilliant images. Low reflectivity deepens blacks and sharpens contrast. Brightness is adjustable.Smart viewfinder for better photos - The bright, high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder? makes it easier to expertly plan and

Review: Package opened - Thought it was new, it was used
Review: The last of the parts bin APS-C A Mount cameras - Not that the A68 is a bad camera, but be aware of the limitations this presents. I would also hesitate to recommend it on the used market unless the price is very good (think £200 odd). This wasn't an expensive camera, yet for some reason commands over the top used prices. A68 was a 0 effort product from Sony on their pledged to continue, yet completely neglected and eventually abandoned quietly A mount. Sony took the main body shape from the A77II, plastic shell as expected, they tweaked the back dial in place of the joystick. To be fair there are some worthwhile things here... + Body design is alright despite being cheaper, Sony kept the top LCD display and dual dials front/rear + You do have AF fine tune available, almost unheard of at this price + Video quality is pretty good, for full HD - lot better than the first A77 or other older models A58/57 etc + Battery life is among the best for the SLT range, that's part down to the EVF/LCD display though + Locking top mode dial with user memory settings, same as the A77II + The 79 point AF system was also kept, yet this is nicer on paper v actual use But there are some obvious downsides - Meh buffer, it's about 7-8 shots raw, then you're chugging along at just over 1fps. Yes slightly better than the A58, but a long way off the A57's 20+ raw buffer - Mediocre EVF and LCD. The EVF is OLED, but it's only 1.44m dots, magnification is average at 0.88x, that's a bit smaller than the A700 optical finder!. Back LCD is tilting type, but unfortunately a very dated 460K dots, my old 2008 D90 is twice that!. Both are usable, both are unspectacular - Sensor is "NOT" the same as the A77II, it's not even as good as the A77 first get in low light (many sites back this up). Sony fudged the ISO values so it looks a lot better than you think. It's not bad as the exposure is much better than the A77, but it's soundly beaten by DSLR's even 7-8 years older. - No grip contacts, Sony kept the A77II body but took out the connections, only third party offerings for this. - Slow fps. Only 5fps for full size images, 8fps is for crop mode hence misleading. Half the point of the SLT is the non moving mirror, yet saddled with a modest fps and small buffer. Disappointing There are a few other limitations such as 1/4000s shutter v the 1/8000 on the A77II, of course no mention of sealing or mag alloy panels. None of these are problems. However the 79 point AF system, from the A77II, at first seemed good. Sadly when Sony updated the firmware for the A77II, it became much less reliable, hesitant, high miss rates (even on easy shots or non moving subjects). The AF turned into a bit of a nightmare. My initial A77II excitement, became a show stopper - I sold off the A77II due to poor AF tracking, and overall performance. You can read up on imaging resource, the shooters report post firmware, and his hit rate is sub 50% in many cases. Sadly the A68 inherits the same poor AF system, which looks nice on paper, yet is really not very reliable. This is a camera Sony slapped together in 2015 from bits lying around the factory, rather than giving A mount users a tuned and refined camera. Worse the price ramped up in the last few years, and it's now rather expensive for a budget camera that's 7 years old on the used market (compared to say an A57 which is pretty cheap) Hard to recommend, unless you're stuck with A Mount and want a body that does alright video. It had potential to be great, but falls short. The A77II might be a better buy, but beware the dodgy autofocus system, yes the build is nice enough and the buffer fairly deep; both cameras look pretty dated in terms of performance. I would recommend invested A Mount users check out a used A99, it's a far better camera overall than the crop bodies. Or the first A77, is a reasonable price, and has built in GPS. You could of course try a transition to E mount, but with some obvious adapter limitations for screw drive lenses, it might not be quite as exciting as it could have been. Then you have to ask yourself, do you want to continue to invest in a company, that didn't even put a press release out informing their A mount customers, their mount was finished. No thanks, nothing, reality time is Sony ghosted their A mount users. That's not something any company should do...ever.

Works well with my minolta lenses and the evf is a game changer. Wish batteries lasted longer but other than that. Worth it.
