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

Super!!! keep us up to date on your adventures in DSLR hunting!! I am willing to bet if ya get your hands on the K5 you won't wanna let it go!! The beastie is very seductive. Oh, if they don't have any K-5's in stock the K-7 is the exact same body, well save for a couple buttons I think but it could be they just re-purposed some buttons. I am pooped out and can't remember for sure now but I do know the body itself is the same on both models. it's still weird that the K-5 is the newer body.

But the thing takes such great shots, is one of the best DSLR's made for high ISO/low light shooting and has huge dynamic range, over 14EV, it actually competes with full-frame in terms of most parts of image quality. Still it's not FF which will always have certain advantages.
Have fun!!
