There is now a new firmware update for the a65 and a77 bodies, version 1.05. All of the benefits are listed below in full detail, but there is one aspect that is important to focus on. This upgrade fixes the issue a few customers were having with a "processing" notice coming up before review was possible after every picture. This upgrade makes it so that the image is reviewed immediately after capture in any drive mode, or the camera will return back to shooting instantly if review is turned off.
Here is a link to Sony eSupport where you can find the update
