SixofNine	Re: Canon vs. Sony?
	I'm a professional photographer who uses Canon, but if I was in your position, I'd probably go with the Sony (which in the case of the AX100 dslrs is really technology Sony took over from Minolta anyway). Or save your money up and get the AX700. The in-body image stabilization feature is great, and means that better lenses can be sold for less money. The focus response on that camera is really snappy, even with the base lens they sell in the basic package. Sony is also selling a line of fast, high end optics for the camera from Carl Zeiss, and all existing Minolta A-type lenses will work with it as well. That means there is a very large pool of good used lenses to purchase from. But either way you go, you'll be in fine shape; the rebel XTI was the best deal going for the first many months it was on the market. Any of the 10mp DSLRs on the market nowadays are so technology and feature rich that they can easily outperform 95% of the people who will ever buy them.
