If you're an amateur get the Sony R1. It has an awesome lens 14mm-64mm, a APS-C class sensor (same size as the Canon 20D/30D, XT, XTi), live preview of the shots, top mounted LCD and costs $700 or so. I own it, the lens is comparable to Canon L-grade lens.

I also own Canon 30D + 24-105 f4 L IS, 70-200mm f4 L IS, 85mm L f1.2 MKII, 135mm L f2. - It's a great combo but costs 10x sa much..

Go with the Sony R1. It's an awesome camera. DSLR quality with Point&Shoot charm, easy to use, no dust issues (very important), no shutter sound, 2mm distance from rear lens element to sensor etc.
