i think its actually the high iso performance of the 2 cameras that i was referring to:sweatsm:..will take up Octarine's suggestion to check out the comparisons on dpreview...but currently, i'm swayed towards the sony due to the in-built IS..

you won't go wrong either way...

I think the A350's live view implementation is significantly faster than Canon or Nikon, especially with regards to Auto-focus during live view.
ergonomics.... well, i'll keep my opinions to myself
