OverviewSony SLT-A37

The Sony Alpha SLT-A37 is an entry-level APS-C camera built around a 16MP sensor paired with Sony's BIONZ image processor. The camera offers an ISO range of 100 to 16000, giving shooters a broad sensitivity window for varied lighting conditions. One of its standout features is in-body sensor-shift image stabilization, which works with any compatible lens rather than relying on stabilization built into the glass.

Autofocus is handled by a 15-point phase detection system, and burst shooting reaches up to 7 frames per second — a competitive rate for its class. Video capability tops out at 1080p, with frame rate options including 24fps and 60i, recorded in 8-bit with a Standard color profile. The electronic viewfinder delivers 1.44 million dots at 60Hz, while the 2.7-inch tilt-and-swivel LCD at 230,400 pixels adds compositional flexibility for low-angle or overhead shots.

The polycarbonate body measures 128.6 x 95.4 x 78.6 mm and weighs 506g, keeping things manageable for everyday use. Storage is covered by SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo slots. Connectivity includes USB and Mini HDMI output.

A built-in pop-up flash is also on board.
