The Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only) is an affordable and lightweight DSLR that's easy to travel with, yet full of options putting your vision into print. With a 16.2Mp APS HD CMOS sensor and Sony's BIONZ image processor, along with 'Translucent Mirror Technology', you're assured detailed photos that can stand up to editing and enlarging, and look great in any application: on your HDTV, computer monitor, digital picture frame, and of course, as prints, big and small. Of course, RAW image capture provides you with even more latitude, providing high-quality files and allowing for exposure and other adjustment options not available with images shot in JPEG.
With the Sony A-mount you can put any number of lenses onto the Alpha 35 for getting the just shot you want. If you're feeling the need for an all-purpose zoom lens, you can add one. Want a fixed wide-angle? You can do that too. And of course, the SLT-A35 wouldn't be a true digital camera if it didn't also record HD video. The Quick AF Full HD Movie mode allows you to record 1080/60i movies. With features like Live View, the TruBlack LCD monitor, and creative controls, you can make stunning videos along with spectacular photos. Additionally, the eye-level finder for HD movies helps you with framing and focus.
No matter which mode you're shooting in: video or stills, all your files can be stored on a variety of optional memory cards. The camera's media card slot allows for insertion of Sony's own Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory PRO-HG Duo, and SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. Other useful features of the camera include a built-in auto pop-up flash, which is great for grabbing low-light snapshots, and Hand-held Twilight and Multi-frame NR modes which both allow for quality low-light images without the flash, by combining the data from 6 consecutive shots into one. You can also shoot 3D images that look great on 3D televisions as JPEG or MPO files. These features, and numerous others, all contribute to this truly versatile and cost-effective DSLR, the SLT-A35.
- Translucent Mirror Technology
- Conventional DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. The SLT-A35 utilizes Translucent Mirror Technology which directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously
- Tele Zoom High Speed Shooting
- The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the decisive soccer kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. The Tele Zoom High Speed shooting mode shoots up to 7 fps at 8.4Mp while maintaining continuous auto focus and auto exposure
- Quick AF for Full HD Movie Capture
- When most DSLRs shoot video, their Contrast AF is slow and visibly "hunts" for focus. The Quick AF Full HD Movie retains the same fast, precise Phase Detection you enjoy for still images. It's a decisive advantage for tracking fast-moving subjects and a major benefit of Translucent Mirror Technology
- 16.2Mp Resolution
- You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the 16.2Mp APS-C sensor size and Sony Exmor APS HD CMOS technology, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor noise
- APS-C Size HD CMOS Image Sensor
- With 19.5 times the area of the typical camcorder image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between amateur and professional-looking video, delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds
- Sony Exmor Technology
- Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down. The Exmor sensor provides more than 4,000 column-parallel A/D converters. This helps enable continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second
- Full HD 1080/60i Movies
- This is one of the very few DSLRs with 1080/60i Full HD, exactly the same resolution and frame rate as most broadcast and cable HDTV channels. Records in 1080/60i AVCHD format, 1080/30p high definition in PC-friendly MP4 format and standard definition 480/30p in MP4 format
- Picture Effect Mode
- There are 7 types (11 variations) of picture effects to choose from: Posterization (Color), Posterization (B/W), Pop Color, Retro Photo, Partial Color (R), Partial Color (G), Partial Color (B), Partial Color (Y), High-key, High Contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera. Each is unique and each give you a new and exciting way to make your images and videos pop
- Multi-Frame NR
- Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still subjects)
- Hand-Held Twilight
- Get cleaner and sharper nighttime pictures-beyond the capability of traditional cameras-without using flash or a tripod. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data with separate algorithms for still and moving parts of the picture reduces blur, minimizes noise and enables extraordinary detail
- Auto HDR Built Into Camera
- Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle-and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot. Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects)
- 3D Sweep Panorama Mode
- Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats
- Eye-Level Electronic Viewfinder
- The Tru-finder Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is super bright, easy to see with 1.1x magnification, ultra-sharp with 1.44 million dots (1.15 effective) and provides 100% frame coverage. Exposure preview and informative overlays make operation easy
- Eye-Level Finder for HD Movie
- The eye-level finder is one of the reasons people love DSLRs. But that finder goes dark whenever you shoot HD Movies. The Sony SLT-A35 enables you to shoot movies with the added stability you get holding the camera up to your face and using the eye-level finder for framing a scene and focus
- 15 Point Auto Focus
- To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony incorporates Phase Detection AF of great sophistication. Three cross sensors maximize precision
- 921K Dot TruBlack LCD Screen
- Sony's 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal reflections, increasing contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even further in bright sunlight
- Main Sensor Live View with Quick AF
- Main Sensor Live View with Quick AF combines the optimum focus of Phase Detection with high quality Live View images right from the main sensor. This is made possible by Sony Translucent Mirror Technology
- Live View in LCD or EVF
- You can use both the LCD monitor and Electronic Viewfinder for composing shots. Both provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus informative on-screen displays
- Phase Detection Auto Focus
- While Contrast Detection AF often hunts for correct focus, Phase Detection AF knows exactly where correct focus is, and goes straight for it. The Sony SLT-A35 provides Phase Detection AF when capturing HD movies as well as during still image capture, either using the viewfinder or Live View on the LCD
- ISO 12800 Sensitivity
- Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail, made possible by the low-noise Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ image processor
- Auto+ (Advanced Auto) Mode
- Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. Unifies and simplifies Sony intelligent technologies, the camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Auto HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology
- Sweep Panorama Mode
- Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter and sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together. Up to 23Mp image size
- Powerful Creative Control Over Movies
- While the camera offers fully automatic movie shooting, you can also control aperture (A mode with manual focus only), white balance and select Creative Style. During a movie shot, you can change the metering mode and adjust exposure compensation
- Pro-Style 'Rack Focus" Movie Effect
- A hallmark of today's movies is the "rack focus" effect, when the cinematographer changes focus between background and foreground subjects. This usually involves careful planning, a tape measure and dedicated a crew member for "pulling" focus. With the SLT-A35, you can perform this pro-style effect simply by changing the selected AF Area within the frame
- Help Guide
- Provides ready reference to advanced camera functions, helping to develop your confidence and skills as a photographer
- Compact and Lightweight Design
- Eliminating the moving mirror also reduces the camera's size and weight. It's not just remarkably advanced; it's notably small and light
- Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
- Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off
- Graphic Display
- Clarifies the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has on photographic results
- BIONZ Image Processor
- The brain of the camera is a refined version of Sony's BIONZ image processor. Its chroma noise reduction delivers high-resolution, low-noise photos even at ISO 12800 sensitivity. Also enables up to 5.5 fps continuous shooting at full resolution, Sweep Panorama mode and more
- SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization
- Image stabilization reduces blur by compensating for camera shake. Typical DSLR systems build image stabilization into selected lenses only. SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization is built into the camera body itself. You'll reduce blur with every A-mount lens, including macro and wide-aperture standard zoom lenses
- 1200-Zone Exposure Metering
- Reads exposure directly from the main image sensor. Choice of Multi, Center and Spot metering accommodates a full range of shooting situations
- RAW Image Capture
- Saves your pictures as compact JPEG files or ultra-high quality RAW files or both. RAW files save images prior to de-mosaicing, white balance, sharpness and color enhancement. This retains maximum latitude for enhancing the image on your PC
- Smile Shutter Technology
- Captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply select the Smile Shutter mode and the camera takes the picture automatically. You can prioritize children or adults and adjust the smile sensitivity
- Powerful Supplied Software
- To help you refine and manage your images and video, the camera is equipped with computer software including Image Data Converter SR, Image Data Lightbox SR and Picture Motion Browser (PMB)
- Face Detection Technology
- The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults
- Six Creative Style Settings
- Control how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, B&W, Sunset, Portrait and Landscape. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste
- HDMI Output for HD Viewing
- Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV. The camera includes an HDMI output. In addition, the BRAVIA Sync system works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs enabling you to control camera playback using the television's remote
- Eight Scene Selection Modes
- These help you get the shot by optimizing the camera for specific shooting situations. Select from Portrait, Sports Action, Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night View, Night Portrait and Hand-held Twilight Shot modes
- Anti-Dust Technology
- Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor
- Up to 440 Shots of Battery Life
- Take up to 440 shots on a single charge with Sony Stamina battery power. Sony's InfoLITHIUM battery system enables you to see the percent of power remaining, so you can keep shooting in confidence
- P/A/S/M Exposure Modes
- The camera offers a full range of controls from the beginner's AUTO+ mode to P/A/S/M: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual. On-screen prompts help you refine your skills, build your confidence and exercise greater creative control
- Slot for Two Media Types
- For cost-effective, convenient storage and sharing of your images, the camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo/Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and SD/SDHC/SDXC media (Class 4 or higher recommended. Memory card is required. All are sold separately)
- Built-In Auto Pop-Up Flash
- To help you shoot more effectively, the built-in flash automatically pops up and fires as needed when the camera is set to certain scene selection modes. The built-in flash can also trigger a wireless accessory flash (sold separately). The integrated hot shoe enables you to expand your lighting options with a range of accessory flashes (sold separately)

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
All about performance n it delivers. whatever Sony talks,all about the new technology but at ends user want the quality photo n truly it delivers.Lest talk about the cons first. Its LCD is fixed though they introduce it in a37 but it should have in a35. Its body seems horizontally bigger than Nikon 5100 or Cannon T3di but much lighter. Pros are many. Great quality Picture. Built in steady shot gives it a benefit than others dslr competitors. Handy which i mention before. So easily u can move it fast. It simply best. I bought it in last 2011 Nov n till now i satisfy with it. Those who wanna buy Sony dslr should remember your picture quality n satisfaction mostly depends on quality lenses. So i think invest less (though it's expensive for me) on body n more in lenses
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I purchased this camera for my mom for Christmas and I ended up using it more than she did. I immediately fell in love with it. The pictures this camera takes are absolutely breathtaking; they are so clear and so vivid. I love that it automatically can change from LCD view to the viewfinder when your face gets close to it. Love that it is compatible with old Minolta lens mounts (the main reason that I purchased it so that my mom could use her old lenses). Definitely a MUST BUY!!

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
After my Minolta 7D went to a better place, I needed a new camera to fit my spread of lenses. Sony is the best place to go, so after research we decided on the Alpha 35. I am still getting accustomed to it, but we were immediately impressed with how light the body is. This is bound to help in low light situations.
Upgrades since my last camera - automatic flash pop-up, easy access timers, amazing resolution!! 16Mp are incredible! A neat feature I found is the smile shutter technology. It doesn't work so well in low light, but I'm looking forward to testing on my nephews.
Still learning a few tricks - a lot less buttons on the body, so I'm having to figure out the shortcuts (or longcuts) of how to get a few places.
We're totally pleased with this camera so far. I'll review further if I find a need!

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
Had this camera for about two weeks now and LOVE it. Replaced a Sony HDR-HC5 and Canon HV40 with this camera. I skipped the kit lens and opted for the Sony SAL-50F18 50mm f/1.8 DT AF Lens and am not disappointed. Picture quality is unmatched in the price group and the camera is fast with little lag time.
I had my first videography gig last week in downtown Chicago and the camera worked wonders on a day that went from sunny to cloudy. I used a Rode camera mounted shotgun mic mounted on an Opteka X-GRIP holder. Worked like a charm with no noticeable lens noise.
A few slight cons...
The fixed LCD might cause problems when self recording. B&H lowered the price $50 two weeks after I bought it! Killing me B&H!

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I got this camera (body only) to shoot my son's sports and to shoot video of upcoming hunting trips. I've been using the Sony A100 for a few years and have been very pleased with it's performance, but it was time for an upgrade.
I like the fact that since I am an amature photographer it has a tutorial that is shown on the screen when I select something on the program dial. I'm a hands on person and don't like to spend most of my time reading the manuals. It's lightweight and a little smaller than my A100. I do suggest getting a good quality sdhc card that has at least 8GB and 60mb/s. You will notice how quickly your photo's upload and record.
So far I haven't found any faults with this camera. It is very lightweigt as I mentioned so that takes some getting used to.

Comments about Sony SLT-A35 Alpha 35 DSLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
Now that there Adobe has released Camera Raw and Lightroom Release Candidates that cover its RAW files, I had a chance to really test it. The files are excellent, which is what matters with a great dynamic range.The camera even correctly metered an IR filter. The eye-level-electronic-viewfinder is kind of hard to get use to as I like a lot of others, have a habit of reviewing the image taken in the screen at the back. It took me a bit to realize that when looking through the view finder, one is seeing the actual results of clicking the shutter since it has the histogram right there to look at. Originally, I had a Nex as my walk around camera to go with my medium format back, but could not get used to a not looking through a view finder, this is my upgrade to the Nex and am glad I did. With two lenses, I have a camera that covers 16mm to 350mm. Don't think I have used it enough for pro/con comments. I do think this takes a little getting use to.
