Its a lot of good information and I really appreicate the fact that you have taken the time to type it out too:0
I really liked the Sony A33 but like you had mentioned, not enough current reviews though the London Drugs guy assured me he thought it would be the best for my experience level,needs and so on.
its been a very long time since I've used anything beyond a p&s camera but I for sure don't want something I'll grow out of in 2 years too.
I like the Nikons but they lenses are pricey and does throw me off. The Sony feels better in my hands then the Rebel and though.
I think so far I'm still leaning towards the Sony but I'll take a look at the Pentax K5 but I don't see them at London Drugs so I'll try Henrys this week.
I want to buy one around February so still lots of time for more research
