Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 with Minolta AF Zoom 35-80mm f/4-5.6 Lens - Good Condition | DSLR Camera | First-Generation Sony Alpha with Classic Minolta Optics

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 (S/N: 2001973) is a historic milestone in digital photography, representing the first-ever DSLR released under the Sony Alpha brand following the acquisition of Konica Minolta's camera division. This "N50" variant features a high-performance 10.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, prized by enthusiasts for its vibrant, film-like color reproduction and organic tonal gradations. A standout feature is the integrated "Super SteadyShot" sensor-shift image stabilization, which provides anti-shake benefits with every lens attached. Paired in this kit is the classic Minolta AF Zoom 35-80mm f/4-5.6 (S/N: 78116398), a reliable and lightweight optic that carries the legendary Minolta "color science." Built with a robust chassis and featuring the universal Sony/Minolta A-mount, the A100 is a tactile bridge between the analog heritage of Minolta and the digital innovation of Sony.

Introductory Paragraph The Sony Alpha A100 is the definitive choice for the photographer who appreciates the heritage of the A-mount. This specific unit (S/N: 2001973) is paired with the Minolta 35-80mm lens, a combination that provides a versatile 52-120mm equivalent focal range on the APS-C sensor—perfect for portraits and street photography. Because it utilizes a CCD sensor rather than the modern CMOS type, the images have a specific "bite" and color depth that many photographers still prefer for portraiture and landscapes. The A100 was designed to feel like a traditional SLR, offering a bright optical viewfinder and tactile physical dials. Whether you are a collector of early digital history or a photographer looking for that unique CCD look, this Alpha kit provides the mechanical precision and optical legacy that launched Sony's DSLR revolution.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 2001973) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The Minolta AF 35-80mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens (S/N: 78116398) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The autofocus system and the Super SteadyShot stabilization have been tested and are fully operational. The optical viewfinder is bright, and the 2.5-inch LCD is clear. All buttons and the command dial are responsive. Please note: This unit is provided without a battery charger.

Specialist Note "The A100 is a camera with a lot of soul. What I love about this S/N: 2001973 is that it’s essentially a Minolta 'heart' wrapped in Sony technology. The 10.2MP CCD sensor is the star of the show here—the way it renders blues and greens is something you just don't see in modern cameras. The 35-80mm Minolta lens is a fantastic 'walking around' lens that is incredibly light, making the whole kit very balanced. It’s a rugged, honest piece of kit that feels like a real camera in your hands. For anyone who wants to experience the roots of the Sony Alpha system, this A100 is a top-tier choice."
