I moved from an A300 to the A57...similar dilemma as you're facing.It did help that I already had lenses so I could just buy the body (500+tax CAD) - I'm no pro nor am I rich (yet) :)A few things...

Any opinions on the Vivitar DF-186? While small, it has tilt head and AF assist light.Not many reviews on the web...

Believe it or not, B&H Video will refund me the 13$ difference, although I was past 15 days from the purchase date. Wow, impressed! It's not about the dollar value, but about the service...

I'm the one hurting, I paid 180+ship+tax=214$. And I was still happy B&H Video ships to Canuckistan..... :) -- 'To be or not to be - where is the question?'

Good news for those in US...amazing price for this little camera. Me - I'm Canadian...
