Key Advantages

The Sony Alpha A65V excels in fast autofocus performance thanks to the translucent mirror technology, allowing for continuous phase detection during live view and video recording. It offers a high resolution 24.3MP sensor that delivers sharp and detailed images with low noise at higher ISO settings. The camera supports 10 fps continuous shooting, suitable for capturing fast-moving subjects. The tiltable LCD screen enhances compositional creativity and ease of use in varied shooting conditions. Its built-in electronic viewfinder provides a bright, clear view with real-time exposure preview. The lightweight and ergonomically designed body makes it comfortable to handle during extended shooting sessions.

Limitations

Despite its advanced features, the Sony Alpha A65V has limitations in low light autofocus performance compared to some contemporaries using traditional DSLR mirrors. The translucent mirror system slightly lowers light reaching the sensor, affecting performance in very dim conditions. The buffer depth during high-speed continuous shooting is limited, causing temporary interruptions in burst sequences. Video capabilities are restricted to 1080i Full HD rather than progressive scan formats, which may disappoint videographers seeking smooth footage. The camera lacks built-in Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity, reducing convenience for modern wireless workflows. Overall, it may feel dated compared to newer mirrorless models offering higher ISO performance and more advanced video features.
