Yea, I forgot to point that out. Some of the Sonys have good glass in them (Zeiss) but I wont get a proprietary memory camera. It really takes away your flexibility. Being able to use CF cards or microdrives is a big advantage of Canon. They arent alone in that but it is a very nice feature given the overall design and build quality of the cameras.
