Our quick take
Sony Alpha A65 - 4.5 / 5
Electronic vs Optical
24-megapixel: quality or oddity?
Super-fast shooting
To recap
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 impressive, as is the speedy autofocus in live preview and the 1080p movie mode. On the downside the battery life is so-so and the EVF won’t suit everyone. But those are small pointers in an otherwise mighty performance.
