Id ignore the Sony.

D40 or whatever the Canon equivelent is. Go into a shop and handle them and see what feels best for you.

Dito, really like the feel of the D40, A200 felt a bit awkward to hold.

Was about to get a D40 myself til I saw the price of the D60. Cheapest I've found:

D60 - £263.61 (after £30 cashback)

A200 - £229.44 (after £30 cashback)

Judging by reviews, the D60 is the D40 with more megapixels and a few extra features.

I've just had this dilemma, opted for the D40 and spending my extra pennies on some better glass:approve:
