I had gone to buy an entry level DSLR and thus was considering Nikon D3100 or D3200. However, then I came across Sony Alpha A37K and it really has features that are capable of blowing its competition out of water. I have been using this DSLR for sometime now and I am really impressed with the image quality and user friendly make of this camera. The biggest advantage that this camera has over Nikon or even Cannon for that matter is the image stabilization built in the camera body itself. Both ...

I had bought it from Sony Center a week ago. I am a newbie in photography department and was contemplating buying Nikon d5100 or d3100 or a37k. I researched a little and found that a37k provides a lot of advantages like IS inside body, 7fps continuous shoot, smaller body and better ergonomics (subjective), continuous autofocus during videos, video format AVCHD(good quality), stereo mic for better sound in video, etc. It also has a good sized sensor, so image quality shouldn’t be too bad.

I was about to grab a hold of Nikon D3100, but as informed by my pals and relatives I reviewed and checked the Sony A37.

I was not a die-hard fan of Sony, coz I have been using Sony (W350) since more then 3+ years and wanted to come out of the world of P&S.

Coming to the point. There are many points to be consider for Sony A37 over Nikon D3100 and Canon EOS 1100D.

1. FPS. Sony have a 7 fps as compare to 4 fps of Nikon and Canon.
2. Highest ISO. Sony gives an ISO of 16000 against 3200 of Ni...

Pros :
- HDR shooting : brings more contrast to pics because this feature enables camera to take pics in different exposures and stitch them together which results in much range in lights and darks captured in a photo
- Swivel screen : Helps in taking tricky shots and record video
- 25600 ISO : for maximum light sensitivity
- Image stabilization (sensor shift) : Required in body if in future you take high zoom lenses
- 15 focus points against 11 of nikon d5100 and 9 of canon d600
- 7fps again...

im using SLT A37 from 2months. the best part of this camera is the depth of the result.also the video recording of dis camera is in AVCHD(Advance video codec high deffinition) which is in 60fps the maximum fps in any SLR. the flip screen is also the big advantage. Buit in Steady shot saves money when u buy ur Lenses in the future. SLT(Single lens translucent) technology makes u comfortable when u clickuing the snaps in live view.A37 have 7fps high speed shooting. Overall great camera. and in...

Excellent product, especially the 3D photos. A steal at this price. Was torn between Canon and Sony, but finally went for Sony and don't regret the decision at all. Excellent features and the angles of the viewing LCD helps a lot. A great product at a great price.

i have been using this camera for about 1year and i am extremely satisfied with it.
evryone has stated all its pros and cons. but one point has gone missing which i would like to include.
when you buy a dslr the photographer inside you suddenly wakes up and you want to click extraordinary pics with ordinary subjects, and most importantly with the "manual" mode.
for an amateur it takes a lot of time to get used-to to the accurate manual settings before taking a pic. in the canons or nikons whe...

I got this camera from Mumbai as it was my first DSLR camera, It is a Great DSLR for beginners but a bit low in performance for Professionals, the 3 things i found so bad were

1. The low lighting is so bad.
2. If we use Flash the image seems like you have taken this pic from a CHEAP camera.
3, ONLY 16 MEGA PIXELS

OVER ALL 5 STAR

the camera is superb, there is an inbuilt "tips" app which is helpful. If you are not an avid photographer then the kit lens will be sufficient, otherwise a better lens is a necessity . I was confused between 500d and SLT....and i am extremely satisfied with my choice!!
