Some great answers to SONY DSLR questions can be found on the Digital Camera Resource Page (DCRP), if you are so inclined. It is focused to the SONY Alpha DSLR instead of the SONY Cyber-shots.
There is also a separate Cyber-Shot forum, if that's your fancy.
I have been involved in offering information and assistance for the past three years on that forum and would like to invite you to join in, in addition to being here. The SONY DSLR group has accumulated a lot of answers to a ton of questions concerning camera bodies, lenses, flashes and everything in between. It is just a click away and speaking for the other forum members, I know they would enjoy actively sharing what they can to do what we all really want to do -> enjoy the experience with our respective DSLRs.

Feel free to dig through the forum ... and the very first thread discusses some solid lens information to keep your hobby cost-effective and providing a decent '
punch' for your effort.
Hope to see you there, too. Feel free to join the DCRP and participate.
