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...

Shoots at 9 frames per second. High resolution. Fast autofocus. Excellent OLED EVF. Built-in GPS.

No optical finder. Low-quality kit lens. Performance suffers with slower memory cards.

The rear LCD is hinged so that you can view it from a multitude of angles. This allows you to frame and shoot photos above your head, at your waist, or when looking at the camera from its left or right side. The 3-inch display is quite sharp thanks to...

Tilting LCD ; Relatively lightweight ; Excellent video capture

Pricey

Class-leading Full HD movie mode Responsive full-time phase detection AF system ; Built-in GPS ; Built-in Image Stabilization system (SteadyShot INSIDE) ; Highly impressive OLED EVF

Noise isn't as well controlled compared to rivals ; Inclusion of only one control dial hampers manual shooting ; Slight delay in registering button presses can be frustrating ; Loss of live view feed when shooting in high-speed modes ; Two-way LCD...

Released alongside Sony's flagship SLT camera – the Alpha 77 – the Alpha 65 may be the 'little brother' to this formidable camera, but it's certainly no less impressive in its own right.

Excellent 2.4 million-dot OLED EVF ; Versatile full-time live view system ; Very high-resolution 24MP CMOS APS-Csensor ; Strong feature set including Auto HDR and Sweep Panorama ; Class-leading video resolution ; Intuitive and well thought-out...

In-camera JPEGs don't show off the 24MP sensor to its best extent ; Comparatively strong noise reduction at medium and high ISO settings ; Very noisy raw files at high ISO settings ; Little control over high ISO noise reduction in JPEG mode ('auto' or...

The Sony SLT-A65 is an exceptionally well specified camera for its class. The 24MP CMOS sensor, the OLED EVF and the 10fps continuous mode are real stand-out features in the mid-level bracket of the market. Add the well thought-out ergonomics to that...

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

Alongside the A77, the A65 is likely to put the SLT format on the map. This camera does things that DSLRs just cannot do: a 10fps burst mode with continuous autofocus and a live preview movie mode with the same super-fast autofocus is without rival at...

Feature set way above its price, Sony has a go at innovating

OLED finder isn't for everyone

Huge range of features including auto HDR and GPS ; Excellent quality EVF ; Very fast continuous shooting speed

Images at 100 per cent magnification aren't particularly crisp or detailed ; Camera can lag and freeze on occasion

The A65 is available for AU$1299 as body only, AU$1399 for a single lens kit with the 18-55mm, or AU$1599 with the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens.

The Sony A65 represents a significant upgrade for Sony's mid-range DSLRs, offering a feature-set and performance that few other rivals can match. The new 24.3 megapixel sensor offers greatly increased resolution without impacting on low-light...
