The Sony Alpha SLT-A65 DSLR Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens
is a DSLR with a multitude of features, the first of which being the
included zoom lens for use right from day one. If you're looking for new
and game-changing aspects, the SLT-A65 has them. Sony's
Translucent Mirror Technology system is one for starters. This
technology allows the camera to both shoot and focus with speed and
accuracy by directing light to the image sensor and the Phase Detection
AF sensor. Another huge advantage to the camera - perhaps the most
notable - is the 24.3Mp APS-C sensor - this gives you the ability to
make huge prints and to experience detail that's absolutely outstanding.
What else, you ask? Well, let's see, how do you feel about an OLED
viewfinder or shooting at 10 frames per second? How about HD movies with
full manual control? Or the ability to utilize Live View with both the
viewfinder or the tilt/swivel 3.0" LCD? The SLT-A65 gives you the
options you need to take your photos and videos to the next level. When
it comes to low-light or night scenes the SLT-A65 doesn't leave you in
the dark. The built-in flash allows for spur of the moment or snapshot
capture, while the integrated hot shoe lets you add on flashes or other
flash accessories.
The camera's APS-C sensor works with the BIONZ image processor to ensure
that whatever you're shooting the results are stunning and efficiently
processed. These systems also work together to reduce noise and enable
fast, continuous shooting such as is necessary to shoot 10 frames per
second or for 2D/3D Sweep Panorama modes and 6-image layering.
No matter what you're shooting - video or stills - every file is stored
to external memory in one of the two media slots. Dual media slots help
you to shoot longer and provide you with the option of storing two
different cards at once. Fill one with Memory Stick media perhaps and
the other with SD/SDHC/SDXC cards if you feel like it.
Your image making is also afforded flexibility thanks to any of the
numerous shooting modes and functions. Full-Time Phase Detection AF, for
instance, ensures accurate auto focus no matter how you're shooting -
even when in HD Movie and Live View modes. Additionally, Full-Time Live
View for the LCD or electronic viewfinder ensures that what you view on
the screen is what you'll get on the finished file. That means white
balance, focus, depth of field, exposure, and framing all are accurately
reproduced.
Other ways that the SLT-A65 enhances and expands your creativity
includes a short lag time, Object Tracking AF for keeping moving objects
in focus, and Multi-Frame NR for shooting successfully in low-light
without a flash. Graphic Display, the Dynamic Range Optimizer, and
SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization are just a few of the many other ways in
which the A65 ensures that a full breadth of creative options is at
your disposal each and every time you shoot.
