The race to see who can cram the most megapixels into an APS-C sized sensor is so far being won by Sony. The company's mid-range SLT-A65VK boasts no less than a 24.3-megapixel sensor, which is overkill if all you want is a camera to take pictures that...
Excellent electronic viewfinder (EVF), Good high ISO performance, Fast focusing...
Auto modes not great, Slightly soft image quality...
It's not a true digital SLR and it's not as small as a mirrorless camera. Instead, the Alpha SLT-A65VK is an in-between model that still has plenty to like about it, including a large and vibrant EVF and fast focusing. Its huge sensor gives you versatilit...

The SLT-A65 is the second of two SLR-style interchangeable-lens cameras announced by Sony on 24 August, 2011. Like the SLT-A77, which was unveiled at the same time, it features Translucent (pellicle) Mirror Technology, a 24.3-megapixel APS-C-sized sens...

Consumer SLRs have, for a long time, had a fairly limited choice of connections. Often, a remote control connector, a power socket and a USB connector were pretty much all you got. These days, however, video modes have brought new ports like HDMI (a mu...
High performances (continuous shooting, autofocus, subject tracking etc.), Full HD video up to 50 fps with manual controls, stereo sound and mic jack, Sharp, precise EVF gives an accurate representation of the final image and is bigger than most competitor viewfinders...
Bad kit lens (buy the body only then shop around for a decent alternative), Buffer memory a bit low given the speed of the burst mode, Battery life lower than SLRs with optical viewfinders, EVF dynamic range could be better, slight display lag...
No surprises here—the Sony Alpha 65 is a great camera. It uses the same excellent internal electronics as the Alpha 77 but is designed as a less complicated consumer alternative. It's a serious player in the high-end consumer SLR market, but the 18-55...

The Sony Alpha A65 is the latest SLT (Single Lens Translucent) model to hit the shelves, following in the footsteps of the higher-spec, pricier A77. The A65 may look a lot like a DSLR, but it’s different by design: a translucent mirror removes the nee...
Many of the A77's features for less cash, decent image quality from ISO 100-1600, super-fast 10fps burst mode, OLED viewfinder is the best currently available...
High ISO image quality won't match up to similar-priced DSLR cameras, the electronic viewfinder won't suit all and suffers from lag compared to an optical equivalent...
The A65 is very much the A77 with some features trimmed back. This also means the price takes a desirable tumble too as, for the £799 asking price, the A65 has bags on offer. The OLED viewfinder is fantastic (though not perfect), the 10fps burst mode i...

When Sony released its Alpha 77 SLT, it also presented the Alpha SLT-A65. If you don't know, the former gained a lot of popularity among photographers and rookies in this art. From benchmarks we performed on the latter model, we'd say that it surely is fo...
However we look at the matter, the Sony Alpha SLT-A65 does everything that the Alpha 77 does very well. Even if it costs less to have it...

The Alpha 65 is very well-specified in comparison to its rivals, matching or exceeding the competition's feature-sets in many respects. It's pricier, but we feel the impressive stack of high-end features that this camera has to offer more than outweigh...

The Sony Alpha 77 was named Enthusiast Camera of the Year and was voted Product of the Year by our readers in the 2012 AP Awards. The camera’s imaging sensor and electronic viewfinder (EVF) are its two standout features – and that same excellent sensor an...
The Alpha 65 has the feel of the less expensive Alpha 55, but comes equipped with the excellent 24.3-million-pixel sensor found in the Alpha 77.To get the most out of the sensor, opting for the 16-50mm f/2.8 lens over the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit optic is ad...

Currently, Sony's online shop price for the A65 stands at £789 (body only) or £869 (with 18-55mm lens). This places the A65 in the same arena as mid-entry-level DSLRs like the Canon EOS 600D and Nikon D5100 – albeit at a higher price-point that's justifie...

If Sony's exceptional A77 is a bit beyond your budget or just too much camera for your needs, many of its key features and performance benefits can still be enjoyed in the much more affordable A65.Challenging the dominance of Canon and Nikon in the D-SLR...
Sony's SLT-series D-SLR line-up is now a strong one and while there isn't quite the range of models offered by Canon and Nikon; the latest-generation A35, A57, A65 and A77 are all strong contenders in their respective price points.The A65 shapes up to the...
