The T8i was manufactured 7 years after the A37 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the T8i grades against the A37 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS Rebel T8i & Sony SLT-A37. The entire galleries are available at Canon T8i Gallery & Sony A37 Gallery.

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The pic underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the T8i and A37.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon T8i to show greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher T8i is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
