I own both a Canon digital rebel and a sony dsc-f828. They both serve
individual purposes. I like the sony for flexibilty in lcd display viewing
and framing in tight situation however it is not quite as fast as the Canon
in recording images to media. Focusing on either one is fast with the canon
a little faster IMHO. This is however subjective . I've played with the
Canon Pro1 (my dad's)also the new Nikon 8mp and both felt solid and
equivalent to the Sony. I think it gets down to what features and
performance you can live with and which you can't. Afterall if there was one
perfect prosumer digital camera, there would not be 5 different mfg offering
models !!!!!
