Overview
The Sony SLT-A65 is a digital interchangeable lens camera introduced in 2011, featuring Sony's proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology (SLT). This technology enables fast autofocus performance by using a fixed semi-transparent mirror to direct light to both the image sensor and autofocus sensors simultaneously. The camera is equipped with a 24.3-megapixel APS-C size Exmor CMOS sensor, enhancing image resolution and detail. It supports the Sony Alpha lens mount system, compatible with a wide range of E-mount and A-mount lenses. The SLT-A65 also includes a BIONZ image processor, which improves processing speed and image quality. The electronic viewfinder provides a real-time digital preview of the image, differing from traditional optical viewfinders.

Key Advantages
The SLT technology allows continuous phase-detection autofocus during video recording and live view, improving tracking accuracy. Its high-resolution sensor captures detailed images suitable for large prints and cropping. Compatibility with various lenses offers versatility for different photography styles. The BIONZ processor enhances noise reduction and color reproduction. An ergonomic design provides comfortable handling for extended shooting sessions. The electronic viewfinder offers a preview that reflects exposure and white balance settings in real time.
Limitations
The translucent mirror slightly reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor, which may affect low-light performance compared to DSLRs with traditional mirrors. The camera's weight is somewhat heavier than typical mirrorless models due to its SLT design. Battery life may be shorter because of the constant use of the electronic viewfinder. The electronic viewfinder resolution is lower than some modern EVFs, affecting clarity. Autofocus performance, while improved, may not match the fastest DSLR autofocus systems in certain conditions. Limited availability of newer features such as 4K video recording compared to more recent cameras.
