As part of the most desirable Canon DSLR cameras currently available, Sony A65 and Nikon D5500 are indeed ideal choices for both novice enthusiasts and professional photographers.
The Sony A65 boasts a relatively simple design, fitting well within the mid-range segment. Its entire plastic body lacks a top LCD screen, featuring only a two-way tilting screen. Nevertheless, it incorporates an OLED electronic viewfinder with a resolution equivalent to the A77 model.
Equipped with a 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the A65 integrates a 15-point autofocus system with 3 cross-type points. It supports ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to 1600, expandable up to 25600. With an impressive continuous shooting speed of 10 frames per second, the A65 omits certain features compared to the A77 model, such as the absence of a joystick for navigation, asynchronous flash, a single adjustment dial, and a maximum shutter speed limited to 1/4000 second.
Moreover, the A65 lacks AF fine-tune like the A77. Nonetheless, it supports recording videos at Full HD 1080p resolution, capturing at a frame rate of 60 frames per second. Currently, the Sony A65 is priced around 17 million Vietnamese Dong.
Nikon D5500 showcases an impressive design with a highly versatile flip-out touchscreen, albeit omitting the convenient GPS feature. The camera boasts a 24.2-megapixel sensor, lacks an optical low-pass filter, and integrates an EXPEED 4 processor.
A unique feature of the Nikon D5500 is its touchscreen, facilitating users in swiftly focusing, adjusting settings, and capturing shots with the Fn Touch function. Users can easily utilize this feature with a swipe on the viewfinder.
The D5500 camera offers an ISO range from 100 to 25,600 and features 39 cross-type AF points in the sensor array. Nikon claims that the D5500's contrast-detect AF system is 20% faster than the D5300 when using live view mode. This marks Nikon's first DSLR with a large 3.2-inch sensor screen, a significant differentiator from its predecessors.
Currently, the Nikon D5500 is available for purchase at a price ranging from 14 to 16 million Vietnamese Dong.
