a37 SLT-A37K is an excellent camera from Sony Alpha DSLR series.
Whether you're shooting stunning 16.1MP still images or Full HD
video, you'll be sure to nail the shot with Tele-zoom High Speed
Shooting at up to 7fps, complete with continuous auto focus. With
superb low-light performance, you'll walk away with
richly-detailed photos even in challenging lighting conditions.
The included 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens features smooth and
silent AF operation with a built-in Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM)
to handle the full range of your most common shots.

to help them to import the recorded AVCHD .mts/.m2ts files to Mac

AVCHD Convert tool. If you have not got one, I believe the top
