The A37 is a solid entry-level, dSLR-class camera that will serve anyone on a tight budget who's looking for something to shoot active kids and pets.
Sony A37 review, find out how the A37 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
It’s easy to see Sony is on a winner with its NEX series. Likewise, the fan mail for the SLT DSLR range is growing. Forgive me, but whilst I appreciate the benefits of the SLTs — through the lens optical image, small form factor, entrée to a nice range of lenses, etc — I have
Let us first take the SLT-A37, this Translucent Mirror Technology camera is another first-step available for those that are curious about DSLRs. Shooting
Does the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 really offers sufficient pro quality?
Sony has really hit it off with their NEX line of digital cameras, naturally, next on the spot is the entry-level A35's successor -- the SLT-A37 DSLR
With its usual alacrity, Sony has managed to release seven SLT models since it first launched the concept in August 2010. In that time, the range has expanded from two models to four and the A37 has a role to play in ensuring the line-up makes sense. Most consumers (understandably) care little about product differentiation but the A37 helps make Sony's lineup more coherent than it's been in a while - making it easier to work out which product is for you.
This camera is a mixed bag. In the hand it feels cheap, but the image quality is very good.
The Sony A37 is a new entry-level SLT/DSLR camera, boasting a 16 megapixel sensor, 7fps burst shooting, 1080i Full HD movies, high-resolution viewfinder, tilting LCD screen and an ISO range of 100-16000, all for under £530 / $600 with a standard zoom lens. Read our in-depth Sony A37 review to find out if it's the best DSLR camera for beginners...
New entry-level DSLT offers 7fps shooting
This camera is a mixed bag. In the hand it feels cheap, but the image quality is very good.
The Sony A37 is an SLT system with a fixed and translucent mirror. Because of this setup it is able to produce a Live View image even while recording still images or shooting video. At the same time, the camera is able to use its Phase Detection AF system because the mirror reflects the image onto the AF sensor. This allows the use of the AF system even in continuous shooting mode. The camera offers a high-speed burst mode of up to 7 frames per second, which is a very high result for an entry-level system.
Sony A37 is a 16.0MP Entry-Level DSLR camera with a APS-C sized CMOS sensor and Sony/Minolta Alpha mount. Read our A37 review to find its pros and cons.
