It's a pretty good camera (at least for me). The kit lens is decent and I know that someone actually covered a wedding shoot with the kit lens only.

Which one are you getting? The A100 or A700? Have you tried them out at the shops already?

Reviews for both DSLR
A700

A100

If going to use frequently and can afford, go for A700.

What advice you are looking at btw?

Think you will have better chance testing and getting a better deal at MS Color, from the numerous thumbs up given by the bros here for this shop. Try to look for Florence.

For kit lens, the new 16-105 lens is very attractive. Better range than the other kit lens, 18-70. The 16-105 is now available seperately last I checked at the Sony Shop at CP Penin.
