Kuala Lumpur, 24 August 2011 – Sony’s range of interchangeable lens cameras continues to grow today with a new A-mount model that brings advanced features to beginning photographers, the 65. The camera is the fastest in its class, and outperforms many cameras that cost thousands more.

Advanced level performance for the entry level user

Inside the sleek, compact frame of the  65 is an advanced version of Sony’s award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology with a 15-point AF 3 cross-sensor system and full-time continuous AF, delivering fast shooting at up to 10fps. Meanwhile, Sony’s enhanced Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor (24.3 effective megapixel resolution) and newly developed BIONZ image processor ensures every shot has ultra-low noise and excellent image fidelity, making it easy for new photographers to take professional looking shots.

What You See Is What You Get

The 65 contains a host of advanced features, including the world’s first XGA OLED Tru-Finder™, providing the best resolution, contrast and responsiveness of any EVF on the market. The unprecedented 2,359k dots (XGA) resolution and 100% field of view gives users sharp, bright images without cutting off the edges of the picture, rivaling the performance of optical viewfinders found in much costlier pro-grade cameras. What you see through the viewfinder is exactly what you get in the final shot, giving users greater confidence in composing their shots.

For those who prefer framing their shots on a larger screen, the 65 also offers a 2-way adjustable 3” Xtra Fine LCD, which offers high resolution (921k dots) and TruBlack technology for superb detail and contrast. The adjustability of the screen makes it possible to frame a shot from a much wider range of angles for amazing versatility.

World’s First AVCHD Ver.2.0 (Progressive) Full HD Movie

The 65 is not just for up and coming photographers, but young filmmakers as well. Thanks to the faster speed of the new BIONZ processor, users can now film can now film in both interlace and progressive including cinematic mode - 24p, 60i and 60p (NTSC), or 25p, 50i, and 50p (PAL) – a feature seldom found even in professional-grade interchangeable lens cameras. P/A/S/M modes are all selectable during video recording, giving users as much control as they need, whether they’re making a simple home video or a cinematic masterpiece.

The 65 Translucent Mirror interchangeable lens digital camera by Sony will be available in Malaysia in October 2011.
