A65 vs. A77? Perhaps I have been blinded by these wonderful cameras, but can someone please point out what I assume will be obvious once I am told?

You should be able to compare the specifications and reviews and decide what fits your photography needs. There are obvious differences in size and the number of dials/buttons for example. Being an A700 user, ergonomics is one of the reasons I went for the A77. There are others that I thought important such as the better AF module, but you may not care about it. The bottom line is, if you can't look at the specification list of the A77 and immediately identify some things that you need, then you don't need the expense of the A77. You may also wish to look at the A57 and soon to be announced A37.

It's my understanding the Alpha lenses work on the A cameras... I have an a77.

Yes dp review also has a thread on this stating the A65 has a little overexposure (maybe -1) with the flash but it does work.

Thanks Conway, I was so happy to see your post it gave me the push to order the Nikon D700 today from B&H.; This is my first full frame camera and I just wanted to make sure that I was making the right decision. I was mostly leaning toward the Nikon but had to consider the Mark 2. Thanks again for your help.

Im debating between those 2 as well, I always loved canon lenses, image quality in my opinion always outranked Sony. But recently my father bought the Sony a55 and image quality is amazing, my 12 year old sister took some pictures with it, and they look like done by a pro. Any help from experienced pros please!!!!, thanks in advance, I appreciate it!!

the a77 shoots at 11 frames but no focus and iris adjustment and the a77 2 has continues focus and iris adjustment at 12 frames per second i will trade my a77 for the model2

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

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.

Also, the SD870 sacrifices a bit at the telephoto end to get a bit more wide-angle... You might also consider the A720IS in your decision, as it can run off of AA batts.

Thanks, M. That certainly is very helpful information. I haven't made up my mind yet, although I'm leaning towards the SD750 for its compactness (looking for something to carry all the time, since I already have the A640 for 'picture occasions' or travel - really great for simple pns, particularly the rotating LCD, but somewhat bulky). I will have to check out the LCD to see if I can tolerate the grainy images though.

It looks like the A550 is the best compromise for you since all you get in the 650 are extras you're not interested in. Go for it.

You want the A710 IS. There is just no comparison to the others.The other two are only 3x zoom and lack key features. You will hate yourself the next day. For the $40 difference, how many photos do you think you will take? A thousand, 5 thousand? So the cheapest one will save you a penny a shot?And the Canon cameras have so many features that typically are only found in big, expensive Digital SLRs.

As far as I know it is same sensor and same AF as in a5100. If you are renting why not A7s. It was build for low light stills and videos.

I own both. A99 has a lot better low light performance c/w a77. Now a77 m2 is slightly better then a 77 but still does not c/w a99. The lenses you use with a77 may not be able to be used with a99 ( will fit the mount but you will only get a cropped picture ) so make sure that the lenses you have are also good for full frame and not just APS-C . A77m 2 on the other hand is better for sports as has better focus tracking and faster pictures / second rate.

I can use it on my A65 and my A77...so if they have the same configuration I would think so.

The A65 is not listed on the packaging as a compatible camera but neither was the A77 which worked with this item. We cannot guarantee it would work but if you do decide to purchase this item from us we do offer returns. Let us know if you have any other questions.

I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference. The A710 is a great high-end point and shoot camera, it takes normal AA batteries which can simplify the daily use of the camera i.e. on holiday no need to worry if you packed the charger or not, etc. The G7 has a better image quality. Also there are some mega high level configuration settings for the photographer enthusiast, 1st person and 2nd person flash etc. The A710 is lighter and more portable while the G7 is quite a bit larger and has a significant weight to it. Hope this helps. I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference.
