I've got a Sony a350 - It has the live view screen which DSLR's don't have. It flips out so you are able to see pictures that you wouldn't want to get down on the ground or can't see what your looking at over a crowd etc. It's come in veryyyy handy having the live view.

Great pictures and very easy to use. I agree with others. It's not all about the most expensive camera out there. It's about knowing how to use it. My old sony digital camera took some amazing pictures. You'll find loads of them on here in the archive threads.
