The only unfortunate thing about Sony is that they market all of their products to be sony-specific - their technology is sort of in a league of its own & it's not always reliable & can get spendy.
I've seen a lot of cybershots returned because they aren't as durable & reliable as other photo brands like canon and nikon.
Another thing to consider is that Sony makes everything from walkmans to televisions. If you're serious about photography, go with a brand that specializes in cameras - this will ensure high quality lenses and appropriate technology.
For about the same price you can probably find a Canon d-60 with a detachable lens with greater zoom.
Your best bet, though is to go to a camera store & test out several different cameras - just go with what feels right.
