Customer Review

The Sony Alpha 37 with the kit lens SAL-1855 is my first camera of its kind. I bought it myself, because I was convinced because of some reviews and pictures of this model, especially at this price. I will not miss about technical details that anyone can read about myself, I try to convey just my first impression of the camera.

The camera was easy for me from the outset to operate because my girlfriend has the Sony NEX-5, which is similar in operation. It lies well in the hand, is just a pity that there is (still) is no vertical grip, is probably. but also on the price range.
There are several Aufnahmemmodi that can meet all their good purpose and master any situation.
I make my images almost exclusively through the viewfinder, which is a very high resolution, since the folding at 90 degrees 2.7 "screen provides an extremely poor resolution that you can not see much there. But in addition you can indeed inform in advance and Not to be a different camera work if one should interfere with.
Image noise is barely visible to ISO3200 in my eyes, but it is then clearly evident at a higher value. The camera can follow a moving object in the autofocus mode, which can be beneficial. However, the battery is then quickly empty.
But the battery lasts usually several hundred photos without flash and then loaded again in no time

For the standard lens is nice photos can make, but as you might expect one need of any miracles hope. The autofocus reacts quickly enough and focuses mostly fit. Only that there are no Gegenlichblende supplied is disappointed.
I bought the same to set the SAL-50F18, so that really great shots can make. Next, I got me to start with the Sigma 70-300 mm APO DG Macro F4,0-5,6 bought here and hope also to useful telephoto shots.
For some, it would possibly make sense to buy only the housing and equal to the standard zoom Tamron AF 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di II LD ASL to grab, since it also arise better pictures in low aspect ratios.

The other day I made a little trip when suddenly the strap failed and despite decent mounting the camera lens towards the floor fell. Luckily nothing happened except for a small scratch in the lens casing. So you should pay attention to the good fastening of the belt can otherwise something out quickly and that will really expensive! But as the camera I was first demonstrated that they can withstand a lot!

The delivery is still a manual and some software. The included software is great for the photos in the RAW file format to edit later still erziehlen a optimals result.

Conclusion:
I would the Sony Alpha 37 at any time to buy me back, because it took me more than just a convincing entry with the possibilities and the image quality. Therefore, full 5 stars !!!

Addendum 21.07.2012:
Yesterday I suddenly had for a lens change, the SAL50F18 on the kit lens SAL1855, find strong vignetting at the edges. Taking a closer visual inspection, I realized that the rearmost lens (the camera just before the sensor) was missing. Where these remained, I could not find. I must admit that I have high expected from the lens is not too much, but after 24 days may not be such a thing happen! Especially since I (with front and rear cover) have my lenses all treated properly and have always transported in a padded camera bag. Now the camera and lens went first for repair. Let's see what Sony has to say. Nevertheless, I stick to it, the camera is great, just on the lens was saved! Unfortunately, I am forced to the camera deduct a star!
