I read that the Canon camera is the better one but make up your own mind.

Answer 3

Sony?  When did they start making cameras?  I wouldn't buy a Sony camera for the same reason I wouldn't buy a computer from a Printer manufacturer (HP).

I have the Canon 450D and it's a fantastic piece of kit!

Answer 4

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Discussion may be endless and may not conclude in near future. Have a look at a wide range /varieties of cameras and decide for yourself.

Answer 5

They're both very good, but the sony has got some extra nifty features, and is cheaper.

If you've already got canon accesories then stick with canon, other than that, the sony wins.

Answer 6

I like the Sony for the features and live view in addition the Sony image stabilization is in the camera where the canon is in the lens. So you would save some $$$ by not having to purchase image stabilized lenes and since the Sony is based on the Minolta's you can still find used lens. The Sony has it's drawback also like a lower set flash it being 10.1 megapixels but it's a solid camera.  

Answer 7

canon! its very very gud.  

Answer 8

Canon MOST definitely if you want to expand into dSLRs.
