Sony DSLR-A100 Digital SLR Camera with Lens and Manuals
This lot offers a Sony DSLR-A100 digital single lens reflex camera, presented with a lens and printed manuals. The camera body carries the Sony name and the α badge, and the lens is fitted with a matching lens hood. The model is part of Sony’s early Alpha range of digital SLRs, a line aimed at photographers who wanted interchangeable-lens control in a body that was comparatively compact. Notable features evident from the body include the top-mounted mode dial, a hot shoe, a built-in pop-up flash, an electronic viewfinder eyepiece, a rear LCD screen, and the Super SteadyShot stabilisation switch. The printed user’s guide and troubleshooting manual for the α100 accompanies the camera.
Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal
The camera body, lens and manual are offered as a group, with the lens hood still present. The lot shows general signs of handling and age consistent with a camera of this era, and the printed guide shows some wear to its cover and pages. Prospective buyers should examine the lot carefully and make their own assessment, as no testing has been carried out and the lot is sold as described. The combination of the original Sony body, lens, hood and manual may appeal to collectors of early Alpha-series cameras, or to enthusiasts who enjoy assembling a complete period kit with its original documentation.
