I wanted sony because of the brand but I am not sure if it is polite for dslr.
Answers: 

Sony bought the DSLR technology and manufacturing experience from Konica-Minolta when K-M quit the photography business in 2006.

The A100 is human being replaced with the A200 & A300. The A700 is currently their top of the smudge. However, in overdue 2008 Sony is expected to release a full-frame (24mmx36mm) sensor camera.

My vote goes to Sony because: it have Super SteadyShot (their name for Image Stabilization) within the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor and uses every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. Plus it uses most adjectives of the accessories for both the Maxxum splash and the later K-M D5 & D7 DSLR cameras. Since the Maxxum lenses be designed for 35mm cameras, they will still be useful beside the expected full-frame sensor camera.

Minolta made some excellent glass for their Maxxum vein. You can find any focal length you want readily available on the used open market - keh.com, adorama.com, bhphotovideo.com, eBay.

Historical Note:

When Leica needed auto exposure technology back surrounded by the mid-1970's they turned to Minolta. The first fruit of this was the Minolta XE-7 near Aperture Priority and Manual metering, with a shutter designed by Leitz-Copal. The XE-7 become the Leica R-3. Later, Minolta designed the world's first multi-mode 35mm SLR, the XD-11, with Aperture and Shutter Priority as okay as Manual metering. The XD-11 became the Leica R-4 & R-5.

Leica also licensed the Minolta MD 35-70mm f3.5 and 70-210mm f4 constant aperture zoom lenses and the Minolta MD 16mm f2.8 180 amount full-frame fisheye lens.

EDIT 1:

Why do people other assume that just because someone requirements to buy a DSLR that they intend to become a professional photographer? Personally I'm rather drained of hearing that tired hold back "That's what the pros use." There are professional photographers. There are no professional cameras.

As to the availability of lenses for the Sony DSLR, Minolta offered:

29 AF Zooms ranging from 17-35mm to 100-400mm

2 50mm AF Primes

7 Wide Angle Primes range from 16mm to 35mm

13 Telephoto Primes ranging from 85mm to 600mm

5 Macro Primes

2 AF teleconverters

2 MD/AF teleconverters, 1 for encyclopaedia focus lenses up to 300mm and 1 for lenses over 300mm. That allows you to use all of the excellent encyclopaedia focus glass Minolta made.

They also offered 4 lenses (the DT Series) designed exclusively for the smaller digital sensor.

If your lens desires can't be met by this line-up then you must have need of something really esoteric.

NOTE: There is duplication in this information bank since they offered the same lens beside different maximum f-stops such as the 17-35mm f2.8 and the 17-35mm f3.5. Sony are new to the DSLR industry and as such don't hold such a wide collection of possible lenses similar to the more established companies like Canon and Nikon.

Sony/Minolta lenses are much smaller quantity common than Canon and Nikon, Sony is still creating their row up of lenses, borrowing and replacing the Minolta lenses, which still do work on Sony DSLRs but aren't as mainstream as Nikon or Canon.

The Nikon D60 is as flawless a camera for beginners as it gets. This and the D40 from which it comes from are designed to be user friendly but still allow full encyclopaedia and hence creative SLR operation. If you're totally new to SLR photography consequently this is a really good choice, you also unstop the gates to Nikon's excellent lenses.

The Canon EOS 450D is kinda matching level as the D60, some more bells and whistle and not quite as super user friendly as the D40/60. It and the Nikon are both made of plastic and are greatly light. It does enjoy some nifty features such as dust reduction, live vista (or whatever Canon call it), and half an inch of bigger eyeshade than the Nikon (3 vs 2.5). But it'll probably be one of the more expensive ones.

Megapixels are irrelevant, Canon has 2 more megapixels than the others (12 vs 10) which make only a impressively marginal difference in the metaphors and isn't enough to prove right getting one camera over another.

Vibration reduction doesn`t matter what, is all irrelevant surrounded by these choices as it's built into the Sony and comes with the tools lenses of the Nikon and Canon (that is, if you're planning on getting the kit lenses next to it). Having it in the body (so it works near everything) and lens is personal preference. Canon and Nikon, man the two major SLR seller both build their VR/IS into their lenses, so there must be a worthy reason, if at least man for the more professional photographers who can afford it.

Canon and Nikon are quite equal surrounded by their lenses, both offer decades of lenses, this is where on earth Sony doesn't quite cut it for professional use. If you're serious, connotation you'll likely in the future buy more and more lenses for your SLR, then Canon and Nikon are your fundamental choices. Canon vs Nikon are one of those endless debate. I personally use Nikon but if you want to turn with the flow receive the Canon if you have the money, it's get the modern features that won't get out dated for a few years.

My assessment in a nutshell is Sony is still childish and unsuitable for professional use. Canon > Nikon in student entry level plastic SLRs. Nikon > Canon within pro SLR's (you might convert one day and own to change adjectives your lenses). Nikon = Canon in lenses, its an interminable debate. But key queue, Canon > Nikon in entry plane, grab the Canon if you've get the money, if not, next the Nikon is more than fine.
