What is the difference between the a65 and the a77, besides slighter faster burst speed?

The a77 has an IR light sensor and a weather proof enclosure, whereas the a65 does not.

I have both cameras, the A77 is definitely worth the price. It's bigger but it has better build quality. You'll get two control dials (this is extremely useful), really convenient LCD screen (you can tilt it to more direction than the A65), more accurate AF system, built-in AF fine-tune, IR light, and you'll also get a top LCD panel (somehow it makes you feel like a pro). By the way, they use same APS-C sized sensor, not a full frame one.

hi. 1/8000 = A77 . 1/4000 = A65 as for image quality I think there is no diference

I just upgraded to the A99 from my A65 (keeping both, and some of my prime lenses that will work on the A99 also). If you shoot a lot of low light and portrait photography (I do) or serious professional work full frame is a big improvement for noise and a better sensor. If you shoot a lot of daylight subjects and sports type photography, and don't want to carry around a much heavier (and slower) camera, or invest in a group of new lenses (the 24-70 Zeiss zoom cost as much as the camera body) you might want to look at the A77II. FYI a lot of the older Minolta lenses are compatible with the A99 and can be had for much cheaper than the full frame Sony lenses.

You should have no problem with compatibility. I currently have an a77. It works great with my camera. After I saw your question, I did a bit of research. One person stated that he has used this lens with both a55s & a65s. I hope this helps.

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.

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

To the best of my knowledge the F58 will work on the A65. I'm using it with great results with the A57. The F60 is not compatible with the A65 without a hot shoe adaptor that comes with the A60. If you're not looking to do video with the A65 -F60 I wouldn't bother with the F60 It's not much more powerful than the F58 and I've seen plenty of reports of problems. It's also significantly heavier than the F58.

No, the A65's display looks to be much taller than the A55 or A35 that it was designed for.

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.

Warren, I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that. I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

If you could get adapted to electronic view finder from optical view finder, then yes, A99 or A77 is much better than A700. I just upgraded from A900, while I still keep using A900 now because two bodies work more effective.

Actually A620 vs. SD700 is like apples and oranges. A few differences are resolution (8mp vs. 6mp), body type (pro-style vs. pocket style), and LCD type(flip and swivel vs. stationary). There are many more differences but these are some of the main ones.

I have both the A77 & the A99. I use the SAL-2470Z on the full frame camera, and I use the lighter and less expensive SAL-1680Z on the A77.

works great, and you have the full frame lense when you go to buy the A7R, consider the Sony E 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS as this lens is close in performance, smaller lighter,more zoom range! Most of all easy to carry. I find myself using this lense most of the time as the bulk of the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 kills the easy handling of the Nex body size. However I am having problems with the lense connection to camera blackout issue.photos --- http://www.laosgpsmap.com/ho-chi-minh-trail-laos/

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.

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.

Hello, the A7 uses your WIFI network, and it has a better sound quality. Not sure if the price difference is worth it buy they are both great products, cheers!

I have the a65, and use the phottix 5-in-1 set. The a77 and the a99 should both have the same hot shoe as mine, so, yes. As long as you get the Sony set of the triggers it will have the Sony mount on top and bottom.
