SLR Problems! Which is better Sony a350 or a700? Please help me!!!?

Question

I want to buy my first SLR Digital Camera and I don't know which one to take. Alpha 350 has Live View AF; what is this? Is it important? However, comparing Alpha 350 and Alpha 700, A700 has more advantages than A350, If I'm not mistaken. Something else: which of them is newer? Is the releasing time important? To finish, which SLR Camera do you suggest me? Not only between these two; Sony, Canon, Nikon.... Thank You Very Much!!

Answer 1

In my opinion, the Canon Rebel xsi is excellent value for money, packed full of features. It is important to realize that when you buy a DSLR, you are buying into a system of lenses. The bodies change from time to time, but if you were patient enough to save up for the best lenses, then THEY will stay with you for many, many years.

I like that Canon has a huge range of lenses, and they can easily be found second hand, as well.

You need to do a lot of learning and comparing online, then once you have narrowed it down to a few models, go into a big store and handle those cameras. Some people prefer the layout and feel over a  certain brand over another. There are many good quality cameras around, so personal preference is an important consideration.
