Just picked up a Sony SLT-A57K. Thoughts, comments, concerns, suggestions, tips?

Any reason you chose Sony over canon or Nikon?

The specs on it where a tad better vs the others for the price point I was in. Good thing about it is though that IF I don't like it I can take it back within 30 days and get another one :D

Right on then!

Just curious, as I took a coworker with me to CostCo a week ago to hook him up with my membership deal on a Canon Rebel T3i - he did his homework on it as well.

If you got the features you are after though - good on you. Does it take a EF or EF-S standard lens? Those are prevalent in the DSLR market from what little I know.

It only takes the EF and not the EF-S I believe, it has the red dot and not the white square.

I picked up a new PnS a few days ago - Samsung DV300F
