I am looking at getting an entry level DSLR camera.

At the moment I am looking at the canon 1000D/rebel XS or the Sony Alpha A200.

The Canon has live view the Sony doesn't .Is the live view worth the extra money? Do people use it?

The Canon appears to take better Quality shots especially in the iso range.

Anyone have experience of these camera's.

Anyone recommended a good entry level DSLR camera.

Thanks
