Sony Alpha SLT a57 DSLR with a 18-55 mm lens.
Years ago when I was buying a single-lens reflex camera for a photography class, I was told to go with either Nikon or Pentax as they were the best value and had the greatest variety of lenses. Later, when digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) started to become popular, Canon kicked Pentax into obscurity. Sony, on the other hand, wasn’t on the radar.
