Pros: Good resistance high ISO, excellent electronic viewfinder, robust. Reclining LCD screen. In-room stabilization excellent. Possibility to make the auto-manual focus switch directly on the reflex body. Electronic Zoom to control the fire. Optimum Ergonomics. Automatic Switch for live-view thanks to the proximity sensor. Scary Battery
Cons: Not tropicalized, only one adjusting ring. Reclining screen not excelled, but very comfortable. Personally I prefer it to the articulated screens, I find them uncomfortable, but these are just my taste
Opinion: Still valid, in my opinion, in 2017. SONY Sensor 16 MPX optimally realized; Valid already with mediocre optics, gives pretty sharp shots, I guess with high-level prime optics. Excellent high ISO resistance, 3200 ISO usable. The camera has a always good response speed. The videos are quality, certainly still 30 fps but they are more than good for sporadic and non-pretentious shooting. I would definitely recommend, it gave me great satisfaction even in very poor light, as during the fashion shows indoors or in the evening. The SONY menu, when you start to know well, allows you to get to the desired settings in a few seconds even if there is only one adjusting ring in the body. Today it is on the 400 euro with the kit... for me, it could still be considered for its quality, even if the market is orienting, especially on the APSC format, on the 24MPX sensors; For a few hundred euro always remaining in the house Sony there are modern and more performing alternatives such as A68 (which does not convince me) and a6000, which is now at competitive prices (considering that even that is just new). The EVF is for me the tip of diamante...la ease of composition that provides helps a lot to keep the scene under control. I am of the opinion that the choice of an electronic viewfinder even in the professional field is the right one. I tried reflex sights, Pentamirror and pentaprism viewfinders, but I still love electronic ones, with their noise and their faults. In the last istanza...la battery.... complicit the Intelligent automatic switch with LIVE-VIEW, complicit the LCD that is not bright nor super-defined consumes little battery.... I have always succeeded, even after 4 years of use, with the same exact battery, to make 1500-2000 shots with a charge. I am not elevating the fact to a myth: it is so, and it has always been so with this a37. In a boat trip to Greece in September 2015, with splashes, salt, sand and sun, she returned home (indeed in the hotel) in the evening with 15% battery and 2000 + more shots in the memory card.... by fear.
