Why Sony, Terry? Can you give us some detail about what Sony is better? I think the general impression is that Canon is the video leader. What does Sony have that Canon doesn't?
Phase Detect Auto Focus in video in the Sonys (i.e. Fast Focus) vs. Contrast Detect Auto Focus in the Canons (i.e Hunt Focus). I don't often recommend a brand (even my brand), but as I said, if video AF is your priority, you need a Sony. - Terry

I am no better than you. I critique to teach myself to see.

Feel free to edit my photos or do anything else that will help me learn.

Sony/Minolta - way more gear than talent.
