    i think sony a65 is a great DSLR. I would recommend sony. the only thing i dont trust is ebay sellers.
    you never know u'r buying brand new or a refurbished that packed like brand new. also considering it's a grey product. Nice deal though.

      Great 'DSLT', not 'DSLR'.

      I don't trust eBay either. Was however wondering of why they would sell this camera for $699 on their website and promote it for lesser on eBay - Don't they have to pay eBay and Paypal fees of atleast 9% in total?

  I bought one for travel and quickly became my second fab camera after my 5dmk3. Tossing up between this and the nikon 5200. i choose wellThe digital viewfinder takes a bit of getting used to. Fast user friendly and some interesting modes.

  Have one of these - great camera! There has been some recent price drops, so makes sense that it will flow on…

  Inbuilt GPS is great for those of us who have bad memories (or travelling)
  10 frames a second burst mode - great for capturing action shots (kids/sport) but will chew through your memory card!
  It's pretty close to silent because of the translucent mirror staying in place (actually kind of freaked me out at first)
  Shutter lag (time between pressing button and taking photo) is claimed to be worlds fastest - dunno if that's true, but it's pretty damn good!
  Full HD video is pretty sweet
  With quality glass, the image resolution is pretty damn impressive!
  Sony's JPEG engine isn't the best out there - Canon & Nikon are both better at their JPEGs straight out of camera (not as much of an issue if you shoot RAW)
  Images can be a little noisy when shooting in low light (the downside of cramming so many MP into the sensor…)

  I shifted across from the Sony A550 to this, and am very happy that I did.

  Re the EVF - Yes it takes a little while to get used to, but the digital level in the EVF has saved me so much time with straightening my photos later on. It's also handy to be able to know what an adjustment is going to look like when you make it (something you can't do with an OVF)

  A67 should be out soon so price drop of this will be why

  A very good camera packed with features for such a cheap price. Much better camera then Canon's equivalent 7D.
