Sony preceded its largest wave of CES news with word of a new entry-to-mid-range Alpha DSLR camera. Fitting in beneath the A500 series, the A450 has the same 14.2-megapixel CMOS sensor as the A550 but is kept simple without the secondary Live View sensor or the tilting LCD. Even so, it can shoot at up to 7 frames per second in bursts without continuous AF and, in a rarity, takes about 1,050 photos on a charge.
