Hi everyone, out of the hobby for many years, since my old Canon AE1 with Film. and now we have Digital SLR's. I decided to get back into it with a DSLR in the $1,000.00 price range, and a extra 300mm telephoto lens. After some research I was pretty much set on the Canon T2i. Then I walked into the local Camera Store and they showed me the Sony Alpha A55. Now I am completely undecided and may be leaning towards the Sony A55.
What is everyone's opinion of the Sony, and 300mm lens, and would you advise me to go for the Sony or Canon?
Thank You...
