Robert S. from Sulphur Springs, TX:
I have previously owned this camera, so I already know what I think of it. I have Canon equipment, but when I bought the camera originally, I found myself enjoying taking pictures again. The a65 has so many nifty features, yet is so easy to use after you get it set up the way you want it, it just invites you to use it. One thing in particular I might mention: My Canon 7D with its large 17-55 f2.8 lens tends to cause people to stiffen up a little when they see it pointed at them. With the a65, you can use the LCD (in a P&S facsimile), and people seem to accept the camera as just another p&s, thus relaxing. You need a fairly new computer to handle the 24mpix files though. Anyway, I do like it a lot!

Brian H. from NEW MARKET, MN:
I got this camera on sale at an excellent price, but tt would have been a great camera at full price. I am new to DSLR cameras, this was my first, so I spent considerable time researching the available options. My primary interest is for still photography, but I was interested in having the ability to take good video as well, mostly for home movies. The other two cameras that I was comparing to were the Canon T4i and Panasonic GH2. I eliminated the GH2 simply because stills were a higher priority for me. The Canon was very tempting, but I was swayed by the reviews of the Sony's live view capabilities, full-time phase detection AF, and its OLED viewfinder. I was unsure how I would like the screen's bottom-mounted articulation, but so far it hasn't bothered me. With the kit lens, the microphone does pick up the AF motor when taking videos, but I don't expect it to be much of a bother. I also like that the A65 has built in GPS and accepts Minolta AF lenses (which can be found at very reasonable prices). Time will tell, but so far I am extremely happy with the purchase.
