good camera for the aspiring photographer?

[rozzi]

yeah this forum has been extremely useful. And i know im asking alot of questions, just spending 600-700$ is a lot to spend and I want to make sure im getting the best bang for my buck. I was hoping to fall in love with the NEX, but from looking at it, it seems it may not be the best option, i just really loved it for the size.

Im honestly, just looking around not sure, many have recommended the t1i and a few of the canons, but havent heard much mention of the sonys?

i know I can get a great camera for around my price, but size is a factor for me. but still looking on lol

like was looking at the t2i and that looks amazing, seems to very high end with alot of great features. but JUUUST above my spending limit. id do 700. but seems to be pretty high
