the Sony Alpha has Image Stabilization feature on the body. same goes to Pentax (i think it's K100D)

the Canon doesn't have this feature. smile.gif you need to get IS lens just to do that. smile.gif

the Sony on the other hand, you're limited to a certain extent. like your lens for example, with so few Sony users in Malaysia you can't exactly get used lens offers as frequent as Canon / Nikon users.

and should you some how run out of memory space while shooting blablabla - the reliance of Sony's memory stick means you can only borrow from fellow Sony users. smile.gif

for Canon, it uses CF (lower ends use SD) - and CF / SD cards are more easily found among users. smile.gif not to say that you will come by that situation often la but just to mention about the memory type benefits.

for me, my 350D uses CF. and so does my S7000 that uses CF. so both my cameras can use my CFs. smile.gif no need so many memory types at home.

P&S nowadays use SD. so if you get a D40/D50/K100D then you also can share the usage of those SDs.

if i'm not wrong, sony oso can use CF card.. i mean for its dSLR.... the only concern is the noise.. is it really noisy on ISO 800 up?
