Advantages: cheap with great result.

Disadvantages: no live view.

This was my firsgt move from a pocket digital into the world of SLR's. Having just has a baby I wanted to make sure I caught all the best moments and the continous shotting mode is perfect for this as he moves about a lot!. I went for the sony over the better known camera brands as it was much cheaper for all the features included, especially with the anti-shake in the body rather than the lens. The quality of the piccies is ace, even shooting on the auto mode which I do most of the time. My only concern was whether to get the version with the live view on the back. I opted not to in the end for price reasons and whilst there have been maybe 2 ocassions where it may have been useful, the reality is that an SLR is supposed to be used using the viewfinder and you end up using this most of the time.

interface with the computer is excellent and the controls on the camera are really intuitive and easy to find. very good buy for the cash. It has also won may awards, including best entry level dslr. nuff said.

Summary: great camera for the cash.
