Sony Alpha 550, or 850 DSLR Camera?

Well heres someting to ponder... If your sony you have now has already messed up, why continue with another sony DSLR? I am a firm believer of all things Canon lol, when i started out for my first DSLR i went back to Best Buy FOUR times exchanges DSLR's until i finally settled with my wonderfull Canon XS, originally bough the Sony A300 then took it back for dust already getting in the sensor, however i liked the "look" of it so i decided to go with the newer one, the A330, WOW tht was a mistake the picture quality was terrible for 600 bucks, so i went with my gut took back the A330 the next day and got the Canon XS, i was not happy to loose the "looks" the sony's had but when i started taken pictures in manual mode ect. PEEUU, i was giddy lol... bottom line if you have enough to get the A550 i would instead get the Canon T1i or T2i... BELIEVE ME you will not be let down! However if "looks" is what your after than yes the A550 is bada$$... Also remember the "NGN" rule ( Never Go Nikon ) hope this helps!
