Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 10.2MP CCD sensor Digital SLR Camera w/ DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens
The circa-2008 Sony Alpha DSLR A-300 is a digital single lens reflex featuring 10.2 megapixel CCD APS-C sensor. This camera was one of the later mainstream CCD-based DSLRs making it a practical choice for those prefer the look and color rendering of these sensors. The included lens is a Sony DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom, a flexible and lightweight zoom.
This camera is compatible with A-mount lenses (including classic Minolta Maxxum types). It uses CF (Compact Flash) memory cards.

* Though we tested this battery and it is working, we can't guarantee the charge capacity of used battery packs. For serious work, we recommend buying a second battery. New production batteries are still widely available and reasonably priced (Sony DSLR-A200, DSLR-A300, DSLR-A350, A500, A550, A560, and A580 all use the same type).
Condition notes
We tested this camera and it is working well. It is in good cosmetic condition (see photos). We're unable to determine how many charge cycles the battery pack has been through.
