Sony Japan officially discontinued the A65 with older kit lens. So this was it about the rumored updated A65. It’s just the A65 with new kit lens 🙂

I don’t see a replacement anytime soon. Probably we will end up with just the 5-series, 7-series and a Fullframe Model. Better focus on firmware updates and new lenses..
I hope A mount Mirrorless come early
but the a77 still available?
According to the Sony Japan website, the A65 gets a kit lens replacement.
Only the old kit is marked as discontinued.
admin, you spread confusement! in comments it’s clearly stated that it’s the kit (A65VL and -VX) that’s no longer available, due to replacement of the kit lens. you can’t simply repeat your rumour if you don’t address this statement first!
I corrrected the post. Thanks for your help. Hard to write a rumor based on google translation tool 🙁
An A65 replacement is necessary for the holiday season of 2013. I have no doubt a new one is on the way and that we’ll likely see it by PhotoPlus in October. It will also likely be the last SLT… but then again, it may be their first low-mid mirrorless A. Either way, that’s fine. People loved the A65. They’ll dig its replacement.
It’s interesting. of this post, the only line I saw was ” And a rumor about new camera(s) will be posted in a couple of hours here on SAR! ” 🙂
@dyna:
and how will the phase detection AF work without
mirror / semi-transparent mirror ?
they have the NEX range for contrast based AF.
i got a A65 and i love it.
and i would dig a full frame NEX !
but STOP this mirrorless A-bodies: it’s the worst of both worlds !!!
It has begun…
I just hope that they will not really shit to abandon the ‘Mount A’ s E Mount
I just hope that they will not really shit to abandon the A Mount for E Mount
