However, this particular camera uses the award winning Translucent Mirror technology, which offers a high speed shooting, but with a lesser body size. So, the camera gives quality, and it is handy, as well.
Translucent Mirror Technology works in a different way, other than the fixed, translucent mirror. This technology employs the use of a split between the main image sensor and a different phase detection autofocus center, combing the two sensors into a simple, yet effective mechanical design, which enables the camera to be of a smaller size.
Because of this technology, the camera captures even the most fast-action. If you are someone, who wants to click random pictures, then you should not buy a traditional DSLR; buy Sony A65, to enhance your photographic experience.
Features
The Sony A65 has 24.3 megapixels, 10fps of burst shooting, a minimal shutter lag of 50msec, 1080p Full HD movies, which provides continuous autofocus and full manual control. The autofocus system contains 15 point, with 3 cross-hatched sensors. It also has a 3 Inch free angle LCD, an XGA OLED electronic viewfinder with 2395k dot resolution, 3D sweep panoramas, Dynamic Range Optimizer and HDR, complete with a built-in GPS, and an ISO range of 100-16000.
The contrast ratio is just about perfect, which leads to a mind blowing depth in pictures, while motion blur is completely reduced to a minimum. It may be a bit too much to absorb, but for real photographers, they will totally understand, and will drool over these features. Although, it looks almost the same as other Sony Cameras, these features combined, add to the whole uniqueness of this camera.
Advantages
Since the camera is quite handy, it is quite easy to use. Since, this model uses an electronic version for an optical viewfinder and the translucency of the mirror allows the camera to remain focused around 100% of the times.
Moreover, it is not as expensive, if compared to the features it offers, since it gives a continuous auto focus and auto exposure, at an increasingly fast rate. Additionally, the advantage it has offer Nikon and Canon remains the fact that you do not need to purchase an extra lens to help combat camera shake.
