the xti seems out of my price range. Never looked into the sony but i'm willing to wager its out of my range as well.

I've had nothing by trouble with my XTi. They seem to have serious exposure issues on the auto modes. I'm on my third one, and the problem still exists. The pictures all come out dark, and since it's on the fully auto mode, there are no settings I can change to make it better/worse.
I can get decent shots if I use it in manual mode, but that's working around the issue instead of addressing it. When I set everything manually it's not using the camera's built in metering, it's using the settings I tell it to use. The fact remains that when you have it set on auto mode, the camera underexposes the pictures pretty badly.
Looking on photography forums, it would seem that my case isn't unique or even uncommon. Many people are complaining about it.

b. Yes you can, but be ready to drop more and more money into the system as you progress. As you get better, you'll quickly start finding that the gear you bought for $500 is really holding you back, and you start making investments in lenses and lighting equipment far outpricing your original camera body. It sounds crazy now, but just wait. Just wait.
