    Best of both worlds, 24.3 megapixel and up to 10 fps. Get action photos, HD Movies and Live View shots that other cameras miss, thanks to Sony's exclusive Translucent Mirror Technology. Enjoy smooth and creative HD video at full 1920 x 1080 resolution – at either 60p or 24p frame rate - plus the world's first OLED electronic viewfinder.

    2nd Generation Translucent Mirror Design
    Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. Sony changes all that with the award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology system. It directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.

    24.3 MP; best-in-class resolution
    You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements thanks to an APS-C sensor with 24.3 megapixels. It's the worlds's first 24.3MPAPS-C DSLR

    Upgraded BIONZ image processor
    The brain of the camera is a Sony's BIONZ image processor substantially upgraded for the demands of 24.3 megapixel photography. Chroma noise reduction delivers high-resolution, low-noise photos even at ISO 16000. Also enables fast processing for up to 10 fps continuous shooting of data-intensive 24.3 MP images, 2D/3D Sweep Panorama modes and 6-image layering.

    Sony Exmor technology
    Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down. The Exmor sensor provides more than 5,600 column-parallel A/D converters. This helps enable continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second.




    Ultra-fast up to 10 fps continuous
    The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the decisive soccer kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. Shoots up to 10 frames per second at full-resolution 24.3 megapixels with continuous auto focus (AE locked after first frame).

    World's first OLED viewfinder
    There's never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after sunset, this is a gem. It begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for incredible depth. OLED reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and detail.

    Full-Time Live View in LCD or EVF
    You can use both the LCD monitor and OLED Electronic Viewfinder for composing shots in Live View. Both provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus informative on-screen displays.

    Tilt/swivel LCD screen
    Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be hit-or-miss. Tilt and swivel under the camera for self-portraits. Finally, the monitor folds flush to the camera with the LCD exposed for shooting or protected for travel.

    921K dot TruBlack LCD screen
    Sony's 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal reflections, increasing contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even further.
    Graphic Display
    Clarifies the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has on photographic results.

    HD Movies at 60p, 60i, or 24p
    Capture spectacular HD Movies. This is the world's first DSLR to offer a choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. AVCHD Progressive codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web.

    HD movies with full manual control
    Now you don't need to surrender control when you shoot HD movies. Enjoy the full expressive potential of Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority or Manual (P/A/S/M) control in HD movie mode.

    Full-time Phase Detection AF
    You get fast, accurate auto focus in every mode—even HD Movie and Live View—thanks to Sony's exclusive Translucent Mirror Technology. While Contrast Detection Auto Focus often hunts for correct focus, Phase Detection AF knows exactly where correct focus is, and goes straight for it.

    HDMI output for HD viewing
    Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV. The camera includes an HDMI output. In addition, the BRAVIA Sync system works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs enabling you to control camera playback using the television's remote.



    15-point Auto Focus
    To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony incorporates Phase Detection AF of great sophistication. 15 sensors with 3 cross sensors maximize precision for both vertical and horizontal subjects.
    World's shortest release time lag
    Helps ensure that the image you want is the image you get. Once auto focus occurs, release time lag is the delay between fully pressing the shutter release and when the camera actually starts taking the picture. Long lag makes it harder to capture fast-moving objects. The Sony A65 boasts the world's shortest DSLR release time lag at only 0.05 seconds.

    Object Tracking AF
    Locks onto a specified object and maintains focus even as the subject moves. Unpredictable subjects stay in focus even while zooming. You can concentrate on composition without worrying about focus. 6-image layering
    Leverages the fast BIONZ processor to capture six images in a fraction of a second, and then combine the data. The result is one incredible single image that gets a cleaner result in Multi-Frame NR mode or sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.

    Multi-frame NR
    Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still subjects.)

    Handheld Twilight mode
    Get gorgeous shots at night without a tripod. Combines six frames into a single image for smooth, low-noise evening shots. (Recommended for still subjects.)

    Auto HDR built into camera
    Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot. (Recommended for still subjects.)

    3D Sweep Panorama Mode
    Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats.

    Sweep Panorama Mode
    Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together.

    Shot Result Preview
    See the results before you take the shot. This preview takes the guesswork out of camera settings by showing the effects of the aperture, shutter and DRO settings on the depth of field, motion and dynamic range.

    Main Sensor Quick AF Live View
    Combines the fast focus of Phase Detection AF with high quality Live View images right from the main sensor. This is made possible by Sony Translucent Mirror Technology. You get accurate images and 100% framing on the LCD monitor or eye-level viewfinder.

    ISO 16000 sensitivity
    Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail, made possible by the low-noise Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ image processor.

    AUTO+ (Advanced Auto) mode
    Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. Unifies and simplifies Sony intelligent technologies. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode.

    11 Picture Effect modes
    Discover innovative ways to make your images and videos pop. These include Posterization (Color, B/W), Pop Color, Retro Photo, Partial Color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow), Soft High-key, High Contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, and Miniature.

    Face Detection and Registration
    The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of people. Can prioritize children or adults. Face Registration can remember friends and family members and prioritize them.

    1200-Zone exposure metering
    Reads exposure directly from the main image sensor. Choice of Multi, Center and Spot metering accommodates a full range of shooting situations.

    SteadyShot INSIDE stabilization
    Image stabilization reduces blur by compensating for camera shake. Typical DSLR systems build image stabilization into selected lenses only. SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization is built into the camera body itself. You'll reduce blur with every A Mount lens, including macro and wide-aperture standard zoom lenses.

    Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
    Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off.

    Smile Shutter technology
    Captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply select the Smile Shutter mode and the camera takes the picture automatically. You can prioritize children or adults and adjust the smile sensitivity.

    Up to 560 Shots of battery life
    Take up to 560 shots on a single charge with Sony Stamina battery power. Sony's InfoLITHIUM battery system enables you to see the percent of power remaining, so you can keep shooting in confidence.

    P/A/S/M exposure modes
    The camera offers a full range of controls from the beginner's AUTO+ mode to P/A/S/M: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual. On-screen prompts help you refine your skills, build your confidence and exercise greater creative control.

    Advanced Anti-Dust Technology
    Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor.

    Built-in Flash (GN12)
    To help you shoot more effectively, the camera includes a built-in flash (Guide Number 12) that can also trigger a wireless accessory flash (sold separately). The integrated hot shoe enables you to expand your lighting options with a range of accessory flashes (sold separately).

    Slot for two media types
    For cost-effective, convenient storage and sharing of your images, the camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo/Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and SD/SDHC/SDXC media (Class 4 or higher recommended, sold separately). (APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor With 19.5 times the area of the typical camcorder image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between amateur and professional-looking video, delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

    Customers are satisfied with the performance of the digital camera. They say that it provides exceptional performance at a modest price. The results have been stellar, the AF is very good, and they get consistent results. The high ISO performance is the best outside of a FF sensor, and the camera does pretty well compared to the competition. It is very usable and is slightly better at high ISO.

    Customers are mixed about the value of the camera. Some mention it packs this much value for the money, while others say that the kit lens is probably not worth it if you have a higher requirement of picture quality. The price hit over the A65 is also a problem. The 18-55 lens is almost worthless and the kit is pretty basic.

    "...But this thing is more then Awesome and way worth it. Only $33 bucks..." Read more

    "...If funds are more limited, the A65 is still a real deal and offers a lot for the money...." Read more

    11 years later... still going!
    I purchased this camera on November 20, 2011. Today is August 12, 2022. That's 11 years later, this is my 11 year review.I have filmed wildlife, I have filmed automobiles, I have filmed waterfalls. I've taken this camera everywhere, in the wet, in the dry, in the dirt. Every time I use it, I capture clear vivid and remarkable images with it. All for hobby of course. I rarely if ever show anybody the things I capture. I have added a few samples of random images I happened to have on this computer which were taken with this A65.There never was, or will be another camera this reliable again. Nothing before it came close, nothing after it packed this much value for the money. When this came out and I purchased it, nobody had considered a Sony DSLR before. I probably influenced people to purchase at least $1000,000 in Sony equipment since my initial purchase, simply by showing people what outstanding images this piece of equipment is capable of capturing. You hear that Sony? I want my commission check.The only thing I've ever had to replace on the camera was one translucent mirror. My own fault, I touched it accidentally while cleaning the camera out after filming in a thunder storm. If not for that, this camera is STILL using the original battery! It still lasts better than half a day, and still takes a full charge 11 years down the line! Incredible.I've shot with Sony lenses, as well as aftermarket. The Sony lenses are better, but if you know your camera settings and you can take a great picture with any brand of lens.I eventually saved up and bought the Sony DSLR A7R3 with a prime lens. It cost me something like $7,000 new, and you know what? I sold it all because it wasn't that much more impressive than this original A65.I'm not living in the past, it's simply that good. I am not a professional, but if I was this camera would have paid for itself a thousand times over again.Features and and higher MP count on new sensors are fine and all, but I like to keep things simple. I'm still using a copy of Photoshop 7.0 that I got back in collge in 2001. That still works just fine as well, and I rarely have to edit any images. I don't click the shutter unless it's going to be a keeper.That's the difference between a seasoned operator, and a rookie. Rookies are fascinated with 20 frames a second. Seasoned photographers exercise patience and precision. We take 1 or 2 photos, and get the shot. We don't sort through a dozen gigs worth of photos and have nothing worth saving.Anyway, enough about that.. at the time of me writing this, there is 1 left for purchase. It's still retailing for $699. 11 years later. I paid $999 plus tax when it was new.. the fact that price only came down 30% in a decade speaks for itself.I ought to buy the last one just so I have it in 2040 when this thing finally gives up.
