What are the differences between this and the Sony A65?

As mentioned vertical grip, weather sealing (a77 is and a65 is not) and body build (a77 has a titanium [sp?] frame versus a plastic one on the a65) are the core differences. Most of the tech is the same. If you are a landscape photographer I would vote for the a77 for the extra battery capacity (vertical grip), less dust and moisture intrusion (weather sealing) and more robust build. And I say this as a landscape shooter who has wrecked his valiant a580 by falling off cliffs in Vermont, off an outcropping and down a mossy stone slope in Ohio, slid down a set of icy stone stairs later the same year and in the same park in Ohio, etc... I have also invested in some better boots and all-terrain grips, for the record.

The a65 has less features, not as many mega pixels, and is not as heavy duty f a camera. I upgraded from an a65 to this one and am much much more happy with this one as it looks and feels more professional. The picture quality is much better. Te digital view finder I was hesitant about but love it and couldn't imagine it any other way.

Jpatterson is wrong. The A65 has the same sensor. The A77 has a better OVF, vertical grip capability, faster flash sync (1/250 vs 1/160), and focus microadjust. All valuable features. At this price, the A77 is a no-brainer.

i currently researching, and the. a77 lcd screen has more swivel options, so u can have the screen face the viewer.

One of the differences that i am aware of in the 2 cameras is the a65 has a plastic body, the a77 has a titanium body. That was the selling point for me. Also i believe the a65 does not have the same megapixel as the a77. All in all i think you get more bang out of the a77, the price difference between the 2 was not that much to sway me from the a77. Feel that amazon has a good price on the a77 and would recommend the a77 any day of the week, very happy with my choice.

Hello, This is my 1st Sony camera. I am not sure what the difference is. But, I can say the Sony A77 has been wonderful. Very glad with my purchase.

Everything is transferrable from the a350 to the a65. The lens mount is compatible across all Alpha models. The flash hotshoe is not compatible to the a99 as it is the only Sony model to use the non-Minolta fit as I believe it now uses the 'standard' shoe.

I have an a6000 with the same kit lens. The SELP1650 max apperture @ 16mm F3.5 is sharper than the SEL16F28 @ F3.5. I think the kit lens OSS is helping give sharper results while the the SEL16F28 is just horrible at F2.8 to F5.0. I'm dissappointed with this lens. Stick with the kit lens otherwise maybe the Sony 20mm F2.8 is better.

I am pretty sure it will work, It works fine with my A65, not much difference so I understand

It may fit. In my research, I can't find a specific grip designated for the A65, but as you can see from the responses you've received it may be possible to luck into a fit. The A65 is discontinued, but I found a phone number that might be able to clarify the situation for you: 1-866-865-7669. I have not called it.I found that the grip for my A550 did not fit my new A77.A local camera dealer might be able to let you try some combinations.Good luck. Let us know how you make out.

Both are nice cameras. I own a700 and a900, bought the a99, difficult to get used to. Totally different beast. If you get one, do not get rid of the 700 until you are convinced. Joe

A5+ has more power but both are very similar. A5 is great for the price difference.

I have SONY A65. It fits - but I found it very difficult to unlock from the shoe. Looks little cheap..

Dear friend, I have a sony A65 too, but this adapter does not work properly. I do recommend this: Cowboystudio 16 Channel Radio Wireless Remote for Studio Strobe, Compatible with Sony Digital SLR Camera, you can find it on AMAZON and works perfectly.

If you can get the correct adapter, it should. The NEX can do focus peeking, which makes focusing a manual lens pretty easy. If the a65 also has focus peaking, then it should work quite well on that camera to.

Wow I never have Spoken to an actual goddess before. So I better get this right:) To be very honest I'm not sure of everything. But I know it has higher resolutions and more points of aim. The high speed shutter rate is faster. Reading some of the other reviews people have said that the motion tracking is much better on this one. But I've never used the 65. Hope it helps.

Nikon and Canon really cripple features on their entry level cameras. The A6000 has an articulating screen and many more features such as exposure bracketing, the ability to use your phone as a remote, 11 frames per second shooting, wireless connectivity and the list goes on and on. The A6000 is way more camera than the Nikon D3200/3300 or the Canon T5, especially at the current A6000 price (12/15). If you want to go Canon, make sure you go with a model that has an i in it. If you want a Nikon go to at least the 5000 series.

I don't believe there is a difference between other than how individuals name it. There may a level of confusion as Sony will be releasing the new A7r as it's next generation. I have had my NEX-7 for a couple of weeks and am starting to learn how to use it. I must say that I'm happy with the initial results but also will have a lot to learn going forward.

if you are asking the size of the camera body; the a65 is 132x97x81mm and weighs 653 grams with card and battery. The a77 is 143x104x81mm and weighs 732 grams with card and battery. Source: dpreview.com

Their pretty much the same....just that the sd600 is rechargeable so that means that you pretty much need to buy a second one if you are goin to travel or just take a bunch of pictures. Secong thing as you mention is that sd600 is slim...so is more portable.The other one just needs AA batteries..I went to walmart and bought a duracell recharger with AA bateries and it charges for 15 min. and you are ready to go....Bottom line....if you want more pictures, go with the a540...cheaper...same as the sd600

The F58 and the A65 are 100% compatible. The problem is that the F60 has a different shoe because Sony changed it last year ( a mistake in my opinion) and so, the flash shoes on cameras and flashes also changed. The A65 uses the now "old" flash shoe.You can use the F60 with the A65, but you requiere a flash shoe adapter sold by Sony.Don't rely too much on Sony's sites for accurate info. More frequent than not, the info on them is wrong and incomplete.Hope this helps.DRN
