From the front the A37 looks almost indistinguishable from the previous two models. Sharing the same dimensions as its predecessors, the only noticeable difference (besides its badge) is that the rubberised hand grip now adopts a more...

As this a budget model costing a very reasonable $699 with the 18-55mm standard zoom supplied on test, we don’t get the top plate function window found on semi pro models, but we are provided with a shooting mode dial crammed with 12 manual and...

No matter what you intend to use it for, the Sony A37 will most likely fit the part. It comes with a great feature set including panorama mode and full HD video plus a range of specifications to match. The quality presented by Sony SLT cameras does...

Outwardly the Sony Alpha A37 camera mirrors a digital SLR in every way, complete with large handgrip and rugged feel build. Indeed it shares the same ‘A' lens mount and APS-C sensor with the majority of Sony's Alpha DSLRs (such as the Sony Alpha 65 , the...

Designed to a budget, but there's a lot to like about this unusual SLR-like...

As entry-level cameras go, the Alpha 37 offers a lot of benefits. The array of clever features makes it easy to achieve some stunning results - so long as you have the composition to match. However, the new sensor doesnt seem to have gone far enough to...

There's very little to fault in the highly versatile Sony Alpha SLT-A37. Its output really shines, with punchy colours and plenty of sharp, well-defined detail. Video performance is among the best, and it's extremely well priced. As such, it's one of...

The Sony Alpha A37 adds a tilting screen compared to the A35 , although unfortunately it's smaller and a lower resolution than the A35 - this is partially made up for by the increase in viewfinder resolution, which is now 1.44million dots. The Sony...

Decent image quality, unrivalled continuous autofocus for the price and an impressive 7fps burst mode are the A37’s top features. The LCD screen, viewfinder and poor battery life are its shortcomings, but otherwise this is one viable DSLR-beater that...

The Sony A37 is a compelling entry-level DSLR camera with features, still and video image quality, and overall performance that beat its main rivals. Only the small, low-resolution, non-articulating LCD screen detracts from an otherwise outstanding...

By TechRadar AU on June 01, 2012 70

With the Alpha a37, Sony has developed another interesting and very usable camera to sit in its lineup. Image quality - arguably the most important factor - is great, with excellent colour, details and dynamic range. However, the handling could be...

By cnet on May 16, 2012 70

A good option if you're looking for something fast with a viewfinder and tilting LCD, the Sony Alpha SLT-A37 is a solid but not outstanding sub-$800 dSLR-style...

By Digital Photography School on August 01, 2012

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...

REVIEW—SONY A37 DSLR] by terry on 26 July 2012 Price: $640 (street price with lens) Good where it counts THE LOW-DOWN: This 16mp camera comes with an 18–55mm kit lens. It is the latest iteration of Sony’s translucent mirror technology where 70 per...
