HI Mike -

Thanks for the info. I've been doing a lot of research and have finally ordered my first digital SLR today. I went for the Sony DSLR A100 and I can hardly wait to try it out!

One deciding factor for me was the anti-shake factor. My lower end digital cameras have that feature: it makes all the difference when I'm trying to photograph a child because I don't have to necessarily keep the camera on the tripod for my shots.

It also has a better range lens (18-70 mm) than many kit lens, AND the price is within my reach

.

Once I get a chance to try it out, I hope to report back.
