Sony Alpha SLT-A65 Translucent Mirror Camera

Mirrorless News Sony

 
Sony Alpha SLT-A65 - Translucent Mirror CameraThe Sony Alpha SLT-A65 was announced last week along with the SLT-A77. It’s a 24-megapixel translucent mirror DSLR-style camera. I say, “DSLR-style” because the SLT-A65 replaces the TTL optical viewfinder of a traditional SLR with a 2.3-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF). The transparent mirror design makes the camera faster and allows it to use continuous auto focus even in movie mode. The EVF helps make the camera smaller and lighter and also gives the user an eye-level viewfinder while capturing full HD AVCHD video – something you can’t do with a true DSLR. If you’re skeptical, don’t be – our 2010 Camera Of The Year was the A65′s predecessor, the SLT-A55.
