Camera Upgrade Advice

[Shawn7656]

I've got a Sony a100 right now and I'm planning on upgrading. I really like the Sony a33 at the moment, but if I go with that there's the question of either 1) upgrading to and waiting for the a35 (being released in roughly 2 months) or 2)waiting for the a35 to come out and see if the a33 prices drop (in hopes they don't disappear, that is, because they were discontinued in April). I only have two lenses for my a100 (kit 18-200mm Sony and the Sigma 28-80mm Macro) so I'm not attached to Sony for good.

I then got to looking at the Sony a390 which is a bit less expensive, but is slower and doesn't have all of the cool features that the a33 has (panorama, HDR, video, speed, etc). Since I'm into macro I was thinking it may be more beneficial for me to switch brands of camera so I can have more of a selection (both new and used) for lenses. I then started looking at the Nikon d3100 and the Canon T1i and slightly the T2i...

For now the only thing I'm doing is looking. The actual purchase of a camera won't happen until I've had a job for a few months (currently unemployed, making a very small amount). I expect to get a job soon, but you never know in this job market...

My spending cap is a loose ~800 dollars. I'm not too sure how I'll feel about that number once I actually get cash flow again though.. I may decide to wait a few weeks/months longer than planned and just kinda splurge on my camera. If anyone would like to make a suggestion to me please keep it at LEAST under/around 1000. Brand doesn't make a difference to me.

What I'm looking for out of the camera:
• At least 10mp, preferably more. I do macro, and I crop my pictures a lot because my current lens is only 1:2 magnification... of course this may change if brand changes
• Best "bang for the buck". I'm on a pretty tight budget. I don't have many expenses but I'm looking to get a car and my own place soon (I just graduated HS a month ago) so this could easily change
• A good number of macro lens options. I don't need hundreds of thousands, but the one thing I dislike about having a Sony camera is the lack of lenses. I know I can use Minolta lenses, but the only ones I have access to are hexanon mounts, which are incompatible and therefore don't really matter much in my camera choice. The more the merrier though
• Newer models. As you guys know the a100 is quite an old camera. It is a great tool, but it is severely outdated in terms of technology, features, and storage type (CompactFlash as opposed to SD)

Things I'd like, but can live without:
• Video. I hate carrying around my P&S for video and my dSLR for pictures. I don't do video often, though, so I wouldn't invest in a dedicated camcorder, and not having video for my new camera isn't a deal-breaker
• In-camera HDR. This seems pretty standard with newer cameras, and I find it pretty cool
• Speed. One thing that draws me to the Sony SLT cameras is the speed. The a33 gets 7fps, the a55, 10fps. While I don't do sports, I do some portrait and animal photography, and having the extra fps could really help getting that perfect candid shot or that animal sprinting away from me.
• A used market for parts. Lenses are expensive, used lenses tend to be a lot less and are something I would consider buying. I don't really want to get a used camera though, new or refurbished is what I'm aiming at.

TL;DR
I want a 10+ mp camera that has a lot of macro lens options for under $1000 and would prefer it to be fast and have a lot of features and used accessory options.

Thanks in advanced for all your help

Nikon:
D3100, D5100, D90. If you can get a deal on a used one: D7000

Canon:
T2i, T3, T3i. Again, if you can get a deal on a used one: 60D

Sony:
The A35 is probably your best bet, frankly.

Keep in mind: jumping system means new lenses (which cost money) so you may not be that well served. That being said, if you need to for what you're doing...
