Rent NowThe Sony Alpha SLT-A65 with 18-55mm Lens is a high-performance DSLR camera kit built around Sony’s Translucent Mirror Technology, offering fast, accurate autofocus and rapid burst shooting in a body that captures both stills and video with the same underlying design. The bundled lens gives photographers a complete, ready-to-shoot setup with a 35mm-equivalent focal range of approximately 27-82.5mm, suited to wide-angle through short telephoto shooting.
At the core of the SLT-A65 is a 24.3MP APS-C sensor paired with Sony’s BIONZ image processor, delivering particularly sharp results in both stills mode and Full HD 1080 video. Rather than a traditional mirror that flips up and down, Sony’s fixed Translucent Mirror directs light to both the image sensor and a dedicated Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously, enabling continuous, high-speed autofocus without the viewfinder blackout typical of conventional DSLRs during shooting. This design supports continuous shooting at up to 10fps at full resolution, along with a 15-point autofocus system including 3 cross-type points and Object Tracking AF to maintain focus lock on a moving subject even if briefly obscured.
ISO sensitivity extends up to 16000, enabling reasonably clear shooting in low light, and SteadyShot INSIDE in-camera image stabilization helps compensate for camera shake, giving sharper handheld results at slower shutter speeds. The camera offers full manual exposure control alongside a range of assistive and creative functions, including Auto HDR for balanced exposure in high-contrast scenes, Sweep Panorama for easy panoramic capture, and Multi-Frame NR for cleaner low-light shooting without flash.
Handling centers on a high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder along with a 3.0-inch tilting, swiveling LCD screen, giving photographers flexible composing options through Live View from either display. Dual media card slots support SD/SDHC/SDXC and Sony’s Memory Stick Pro Duo formats. Additional features include built-in GPS, a Graphic Display interface, Dynamic Range Optimizer, a pop-up flash, and a hot shoe for external flash units.
The bundled DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM lens is a compact zoom well suited to everyday and travel shooting, using Sony’s Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) for quick, quiet focusing performance. The SLT-A65 uses Sony’s A-mount (compatible with legacy Minolta A-mount lenses), giving photographers access to a wide range of lenses as they look to expand their kit.
