 This is Sean Hollister with The Verge and I'm here with Nate Ralph as well as Sony's new translucent mirror interchangeable lens camera, the Sony Alpha A37. This one here has a 16.1 megapixel sensor and 15 point auto focus system, same as many others on the Sony Alpha line. And in fact it's also the same as the camera I'm holding to record this footage with, a Sony Nex F3. This particular camera that you're looking at has a brand new 18-135mm lens on it, which is going to be available as a kit lens for several of the Alphas later in July. And it starts with this lens at $799 or with the standard 18-55mm kit lens for $599. As you can see I'm having a little bit of trouble with the auto focus of the Nex F3. Let me switch over into manual now. There we go, manual ring dial. And anyhow, so the Alpha A37 for the price of $599.99 has an articulating screen on the back. Nice big panel there which you can tilt up quite a bit and also down if you want to get shots from a different angle. This is going to be available in June with the lens in July. Now in a moment we're going to switch over and use the Alpha A37 to film this Nex F3. And we're back with the Nex F3, Sony's $599.99 successor to the Nex C3, the earlier version of this mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. As you can see here there is quite the honking zoom on this camera. That's because it's a new 18-200mm lens. It's going to retail for $849.99 in July. But back to the camera here, spin that around to the side and you're going to see a USB port on the left. That's not just for data, that is how you're going to charge the Nex F3. It doesn't come with a separate battery charger. Instead it recharges over USB and Sony tells us it's going to take maybe about 5 hours to charge up the battery internally. The Nex F3 also has a pop-up flash as we've seen in a few leaks. Jumps right up like the one on the Nex 7 and you can pull it back with your thumb for a bounce flash if you like. Other interesting new feature of the F3 is the articulating screen. It pulls up like you'd expect in the back and can angle down a ways. You can actually push it up 180 degrees for something Sony is calling a mirror mode to take self-portraits. There we go, seeing it on the screen right now. We zoom in. While you are arranging yourself in this mirror mode, it acts just like a mirror with the image reversed so you can set yourself up for a portrait like you'd expect. Once you start the shutter, three second timer, after that goes off, the image it takes is actually reversed completely so if you've got any text logos on your shirt or anything, it'll appear the right way up. That's the same 16.1 megapixel APS-C sensor in there and auto focus system, 50 point auto focus system and Bionz processor as the Alpha series. We'll find this in June for $599.99 with the 18.55mm kit lens. If you're wondering why this video is having some focusing issues here, it's because I'm not used to this camera. I am recording all of this on the Alpha A37 we saw a little while ago, learning what I'm doing for the first time here. Thank you for watching.
