Sony's mid-range APS-C SLT camera with translucent mirror, 24.3MP sensor, and 10fps burst shooting.

The Sony Alpha SLT-A65 was released in 2011 as a mid-range Sony SLT (Single Lens Translucent) camera, using a fixed translucent mirror that simultaneously directs light to both the sensor and a dedicated phase-detection AF module. This enables continuous PDAF tracking during live view and video without mirror blackout between frames. The 24.3MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor and 1080p/60fps AVCHD 2.0 video were strong specifications for a 2011 mid-range camera.

The 24.3MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor pairs with BIONZ processing. The fixed translucent mirror enables simultaneous PDAF and continuous exposure. Burst shooting runs at 8fps at full 24.3MP resolution. 1080p/60fps video records in AVCHD 2.0. OLED electronic viewfinder — no optical viewfinder. Battery life approximately 500 shots using the NP-FM500H. Body weight approximately 622g with battery and card, single Memory Stick/SD slot.

The SLT translucent mirror mechanism's continuous PDAF during video recording gave Sony A65 a significant advantage over contemporary DSLRs for video AF at launch: conventional DSLRs relied on slower contrast-detect AF in live view, while the A65's dedicated phase-detection module maintained DSLR-speed tracking during recording. The fixed mirror also eliminates frame blackout during burst shooting, enabling continuous viewfinder visibility at 8fps.

On the used market the Sony A65 is very affordable as a vintage Sony A-mount SLT camera. Condition checks: OLED EVF quality — ageing EVF panels lose brightness over time — NP-FM500H battery health, and the fixed translucent mirror — this mirror should not be touched; dust on its surface affects the AF system. Compatible with Sony A-mount lenses and Minolta AF lenses.
