Type of review

In general, I am satisfied with the device before using the a330 compared to it, this camera is much better, the colors are not so juicy. The colors on the camera with the latest firmware have become more faded, finally there is no excess of red. I recommend taking this camera, and fast Minoltov lenses or native ones, then you will see excellent colors, and not soap on a whale lens.

Pros
  • Good EVI screen high speed comfortable grip, although there is not enough space for the little finger there is a peaking for manual focus Fast AF motor.
Cons
  • As the firmware ate was released, autofocus sometimes hit well, sometimes badly on the same lens. When I first bought the lenses there was a back focus, this was not noticed on the a330. Batteries for cameras are expensive, but the Chinese have already released analogues. The whale lens was similar and on the a330 I took a couple of pictures with it out of curiosity and sold it, the quality is like from a good soap dish. There is no AF adjustment, but I would very much like to. AF with a lack of light begins to smear, so it's easier to manually aim.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

The device is excellent. mp. the picture looks much better than its competitors in all respects (in the viewer it is somewhere around 65-70% = 16-18mp.) purely personal opinion, 4-5 years ago there was a lot of noise about both the 16 megapixel matrix and the support for lens resolution) Good shots for everyone. Pros below: Hello everyone. In general, I bought this device for myself, I am very pleased. I will not describe the merits of the photo, everyone who took pictures knows that the…

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I took this camera as the best in its price category in terms of video shooting, and in terms of photography too . I am more than satisfied with the choice! I solved the lack of a noisy matrix by buying a fast lens, which made it possible to simply make the ISO smaller)) But in general, the camera is very cool))) We never regretted that we chose it! Has pros: a lot . a 24-megapixel sensor, a bunch of all sorts of gadgets, such as, for example, highlighting the object on which the camera is…

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I started with Smena, Zorkiy, fed, Zeniths 3pcs, Sony N2, Nikon D50, Sony A33-2 years old, there was an idea to change the system to learn in comparison. I tested Canon 650 and Nikon D90 - I liked the latter more for its natural color, but came to to the conclusion that they are not looking for good from good. I took the A65 without regret, now in search of decent optics.

Pros
  • many useful functions, convenient algorithm, excellent pictures with excellent color reproduction, the ability to use old optics, a wide choice of shutter speeds, good grip.
Cons
  • Whale 18-55 NO! 16-105 BETTER, Jupiter 37A class! Noises above 1600, mediocre user manual, small diopter range, no external mic. on sale, optics are more expensive and there is little choice.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Opinion, as a beginner, a suitable camera, especially for dynamic scenes. No limit on the upper ISO limit in automatic mode is not critical, I rarely use this mode, but my relatives are not so picky about the settings, hence the strong noise in low light. There are no problems in daylight. In automatic mode, the white balance with an incandescent lamp is set incorrectly, it appears in yellowness, manual setting corrects the situation. Eh, the camera is good, but now there is a problem with…

Pros
  • Of the advantages, compliance with the declared characteristics. From the main thing for me is the focus speed and shooting speed. Shooting video.
Cons
  • No upper ISO limit in automatic mode.

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

Bought an A65. Made in Japan is written (for me - so at best in one of the developing countries, and not in the queen of technology). I watched 2 copies - both with back focus. One whale glass is oblique at one angle. In another, the glass evenly lathers the corners, but the carcass backfocuses a little more clearly. He took it. In the service, by the way, on the day of purchase it is impossible to hand over. And the terms for adjusting the soneks in the Copy are not encouraging.…

Pros
  • 1. For someone - shooting a video. 2. Personally, I wanted more speed and higher ISO performance than the A350. 3. Viewfinder - yes, it's good. 4. There is a decoupling of EVI from shooting parameters - useful for studio workers 5. Matrix. Loves the light - a feature of SLT. In the light it gives good quality and the ability to scribble a lot.
Cons
  • - quality of adjustment from factories - cheap plastic - few buttons, including the lack of a button to turn off the stub - no indication of the degree of stabilization - sd cards are slow. - memory sticks are slower than CF and more expensive. - CF is not. - no synchro contact - Overpriced. 28-30 for this craft is too much. 20k is the best.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

An excellent camera, 2 years before it A33, Nikon D90, Nikon D 50, -A65 is undoubtedly better, optics (Sony 16 = 105, Minolta 50 \ 1.7, Minolta 100 macro and 100-300) bought via the Internet in Hong Kong. The seller turned out to be honest and responsive to many questions that arose. I threw the whale lens into the archive, although it had no deviations from the parameters, and with the acquired optics, the camera is CLASS !

Pros
  • a wide range of settings, especially white balance, value for money, excellent color reproduction, very convenient viewfinder.
Cons
  • In stores, optics for it are rarely sold and the choice is small. I did not see flashes at all.

It's not quite what I expected, overall it's ok.

Of course, this is not a physical cant, rather a feature. In general, I fell for the myth that Sony is a good choice for shooting video, I also fell for the advice of my uncle photographer. In fact, the quality of both the video material and the sound from the camera upset me very much ! I can write a lot about this, so already in three months I got the impression and opinion about the Sony SLT 65 camera, which, unfortunately, I bought in the blind hope that this camera manufacturer would be a…

Pros
  • -Electronic viewfinder and its size, frame coverage 100% - Really comfortable grip and ergonomics - Flip-down display with custom design - ready to display the picture without unnecessary warping, like other manufacturers - Burst shooting 10 FPS -Fast autofocus including Live View and when shooting video
Cons
  • -VIDEO as of the beginning of 2022 is awful! -BEC and FRONT focus or one thing for each model without the ability to adjust it yourself -PPZ really steals light, and also affects the sharpness of the image if you look closely - the difference with other DSLR and UPC technologies is noticeable! -As of the beginning of 2022, the noisy matrix from ISO 800 is narrower and 1600 is almost unusable! -Small burst buffer, which fills up almost instantly and you have to wait a considerable time up to 40 seconds for it to be released. -The 18-55 SAM II kit lens is terrible and out of date compared to competitors, the rotating front lens when focusing is something . - The sound quality from the camera recorder is disgusting, both for the built-in microphone and for the external one - it's useless, therefore, there is no possibility to connect an external microphone.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I bought myself exactly the 65th model, since I was dissuaded from the 77th model (they say it’s easier to add a full-matrix 850 to buy a used one than to throw out so much for a crop) There is certainly logic in this . I was not very upset by the noise, since the detailing is even very worthy, and if you reduce the size to 18 mp, then the noise will be even less than that of the brothers kenons and nikons))) I chose between Nikon 5100 (sort of) well and alpha (I don’t like Kenons for pop) ) I…

Pros
  • Speed, electronic viewfinder, picture quality, great video.
Cons
  • A translucent mirror reduces aperture

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

For beginners and amateurs, this is not a camera, but a dream. I chose between Canon D60 and Nikon D7000. The Sony A65 beats the competitors I have chosen in almost all respects. Now the direct competitor is Nikon D5200. This is an excellent camera. But the advantages of the Sony Alpha 65 in the rate of fire, illumination of contours in the sharpness zone, in the stabilizer built into the carcass, longer shutter life, electronic level in the viewfinder, electronic magnifier, screwdriver make…

Pros
  • 1) crop 1.5 (for Canon - 1.6); 24Mp matrix resolution + low noise level = high detail and the possibility of digital cropping (frame cropping = zooming in) without degrading quality. There is a huge margin for printing, and even more so for a computer or TV screen. 2) high accuracy in determining exposure and white balance; 3) high rate of fire - 10 frames / s and very fast camera turn-on (slowness fixed by firmware) and instant shutter release (twice as good as competitors). 4) excellent focusing speed for both photos and videos (also out of competition). 5) an image stabilizer built into the body (not available from competitors), a "screwdriver" for lenses without a built-in motor and a fairly powerful flash. 6) excellent always working Lifeview mode without brakes (Sony feature). 7) rotary display (not available from Nikon). 8) electronic super viewfinder of the highest definition, which always shows what should happen + electronic magnifier + illumination of image contours in the sharpness zone SUPER! (the color of the contours is determined by the photographer) - all this helps to focus correctly and determine the depth of field in any shooting conditions (competitors have excellent JVI, but they are not informative and visibility is poor in low light conditions, the depth of field is very difficult to control). 9) the built-in electronic level (gyroscope) helps to control the horizontal position of the camera and its tilt (not available from competitors). 10) high-quality large and light body with a more comfortable grip than competitors (subjectively). 11) long shutter life (up to 150 thousand operations) and quiet operation (Sony does not have a flapping mirror). 12) high quality native Sony and Minolta lenses (Sony+CarlZeiss is super quality). 13) the price is also not the last factor (1.5 times lower than competitors); 14) perfectly glues panoramas; 15) lenses from Zenith are great through an adapter; 16) convenient menu, remembers the last position.
Cons
  • 1) there is no autofocus backlight, which many other cameras have. (flash illumination is complete nonsense) - a serious drawback; The rest are somehow, but I consider them insignificant: 2) Not dust-waterproof case; 3) There are not enough programmable buttons (I really want at least 2-3 more pcs.) And the second settings wheel; 4) plastic shoe for external flash; 5) poor noise reduction, there is no complete shutdown of it; 6) not enough focus points; 7) tracking autofocus is poorly implemented; 8) no iso 50; 9) no shutter speed 1/8000; 10) the fastest shutter speed with flash 1/160; 11) there is no original external battery compartment with controls; 12) relatively short series of shots at a high rate of fire.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Worked on Olympus C-8080 then switched to Canon 600D. I will say right away that Canon is more like a domestic car - noisy, big, not comfortable, stupid! Sony, like a foreign car - a quiet mirror, the rate of fire is awesome, the quality of the pictures is on top. I do not regret that I took the whale version, although I immediately bought a 75-300 lens for it and in general everything became gorgeous. I shoot both distant and close objects. In short, in one word - WOW.

Pros
  • This camera is a gem! Lightweight, comfortable, ergonomic! The size is not large, convenient functions, excellent location of the buttons.
Cons
  • Few lenses, non-standard flash connector. But I read on the internet for 150r. you can buy an adapter.

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I am very pleased with the camera. Excellent video with fast and clear focus unlike NIKON, built-in stabilizer that allows you to use cheap TVs, the ability to view photos in detail in any sun - it's all just great. The only real downside is the soft controls. If CANON has a mode selection dial, while NIKON simply “snaps” the positions more clearly, SONY has everything very soft - both the dial and the inclusion. It's nice when working, BUT you put the device in your bag, and take it out with…

Pros
  • - Lovely photos, - convenient menu, - convenient controls, - great video - electronic viewfinder with a lot of information and the ability to view photos - built-in stabilizer allows you to use cheap TVs
Cons
  • - Very soft controls that switch when stowed in a photo bag - No f/a auto-off setting, only sleep mode - The electronic viewfinder only works in bright enough light. If you try to take a picture that requires a shutter speed of more than 5 seconds, then cropping will have to be done "by touch"

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Great device for the hobbyist. Video shooting with a standard lens at a height. I got off the bus and dropped it on the asphalt from a height of about 1.70. Not a single scratch, the lens saved the filter, the filter itself was in smithereens. Further operation of the device did not reveal any deviations in operation after a strong blow. I hesitated for a long time when buying (before that there was an alpha 230), I looked at another 650D. Definitely a nicer body and a stupid matrix - if you…

Pros
  • Excellent device, convenient screen, perfect control. Price tag.
Cons
  • autofocus noise when shooting video - I had to buy an external microphone.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I chose this camera, the first DSLR, because of the general advantages of SLT technology: constant phase AF in video mode, increased rate of fire, simplification of the camera design due to the lack of slamming mirror mechanics (in theory, longer service life), EVI (although for some this is a disadvantage) , the use of VI and LiveView is the same in speed. As for the noise of the 24MP matrix, everything is also somewhat exaggerated here. Yes, there is noise and there are a lot of them at high

Pros
  • - Matrix 24mp: excellent picture even on whale glass; when scaling to the same size with a 16mp sensor, the advantages of a 24mp sensor are visible to the naked eye - Full-time phase detection AF in movie mode - The same shooting speed when sighting through VI and LiveView - High-quality electronic OLED viewfinder - Amazing rate of fire up to 10 fps. - The presence of a “screwdriver” drive (at the moment in the entire SLT line!) which means the ability to fully use the lenses of the Minolta AF system since 1985. Great advantage! - SteadyShot Stabilizer - Folding display with two degrees of freedom and very high quality color reproduction. Ideal for macro photography and photo/video shooting with arms outstretched. For example, from the crowd at a concert - The ability to quickly and easily embellish shots with DRO and Auto HDR options - Handheld twilight scene mode allows you to take high-quality pictures of static objects in the evening and at night, even without a tripod at high ISO (6400). - Intra-camera panorama function (normal and 3D) - FullHD AVCHD 2.0 video recording with stereo sound at least as good as a mid-range camcorder - Auto and Auto+ modes for beginners give excellent shooting results with one click. You don't have to be a photographer to take good pictures with this camera. - Electronic level - Simultaneous saving in RAW and JPEG - Let it be a plastic but very high-quality case, good finish - Compactness, relative lightness. Comfortable grip for _small_ hands, and I think ideal for girls
Cons
  • - Minolt flash shoe and related inconveniences - Marketing restrictions in the minimum shutter speed of 1/4000 and fixed ISO values ​​​​in the manual - Significant noise already at medium ISO, and the result at ISO 1600 without additional post-processing is often not satisfactory, there is a lot of noise. - Weak possibilities for reassigning button functions - Some functions do not work in shooting modes with saving RAW, RAW + JPEG, you have to climb into the menu and switch back and forth between regular JPG and RAW - Lack of AF adjustment - Tracking autofocus mode is very weak, in real conditions, it seems to be ineffective - Low real resolution ratio in video mode - Poor quality of the whale glass (being new, I already had contact problems - "camera error") - High prices and low range of branded optics, especially in Ukraine - Sony branded accessories are very expensive

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

In general, I am satisfied, I originally took it for shooting a video. In terms of video quality, it is quite up to semi-professional camcorders. Yes, and the photos are very good, at night it also does an excellent job. The photo is quite clear, there is not much noise, good color reproduction. Although for me personally, Nikons do a better job with photos. Has some pros I bought it primarily for shooting video - and so the quality of the video is better for the money you won’t find .…

It's not quite what I expected, overall it's ok.

I bought a65 + 18-55 kit as a gift. I wanted to check the lens and matrix when buying, but it didn’t work out. I took it, hoping for Japanese quality and a seal. The next day I checked the matrix, AF, and what . BACKFOCUS at 0.5-1 DOF, which is very noticeable, but not noticeable enough to change the camera in the store. And judging by the reviews on a specialized forum, problems with the focus of the a65 are a very common thing. And what surprised me the most was the lack of any possibility of

Pros
  • Phase AF in video mode. Ability to shoot AVCHD 1920x1080 Grip handle Pretty big battery Good quality at ISO 100-400 (assuming a quality lens) Lots of features (but mostly unnecessary for serious hobbyists) GPS
Cons
  • No AF backlight Most of the serious settings in the menu are missing => There is no way to adjust AF if the lens gives back / front focus Management is non-standard, there are few control buttons. At ISO 800 and above, noise reduction obscures all small textures Lenses are on average more expensive (but no better than canon / nikon counterparts) Viewfinder optics are not so hot - on the sides of the field of view daub Max. exposure bracketing step - only 0.7 EV poor equipment Ridiculously short paper instructions Overpriced

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

So. For almost a year I used and learned to take pictures on the Sony DSC-HX200. In the end, very good pictures for the soap dish began to turn out. I stuffed my hands, the fotik stopped taking pictures of me. It was decided to buy a SLR. Like many, I chose between Canon and Nikon. At the time of the first purchase, I chose the Nikon D3200. Photographed for a week. I didn't like the photos. Noise even at low ISO. I decided to change this device to the usual Sony. I had to add 7.5 thousand to…

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

To begin with, the camera was bought as a replacement for my Canon 400D. In the hope that during this time the matrices have become less noisy and other characteristics have grown. I chose this camera, because it was the only one in it that had GPS (by the nature of its activity it is necessary, GPS is found only in very plush soap dishes or very expensive Nikona models. I don’t consider Samsung as a technique). Firstly, I’ll tell everyone that GPS is only available in models containing the…

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I have been shooting with this A65 camera for the 13th month. I can't find an impossible task for her. No, of course, tasks must also be set wisely. Without a flash at night, she will not take good pictures with her hands. I read a lot of criticism on the Sony Club about this camera in comparison with its older sister A77, and yet I see no reason to be dissatisfied with it. Some write about a downed autofocus - is that - I, therefore, was lucky? I get into focus, as a rule, on the first try. Or
