Verdict
Pick the Sony SLT-A65 if you need higher resolution, video capability, or in-body stabilization at a modest price. The Canon EOS 1D Mark II N stays the better choice if you prioritize a slightly faster burst rate for stills-only work and are comfortable with an older, lower-resolution sensor.
