No problem.
I was just showing you options similar to the Sony that I have personally tried and loved. The ones I listed are great back-up cameras for those times when you don't want to lug around a big DSLR and still want SLR manual controls. Def go with a true DSLR if camera size isn't an issue.
I would narrow it down to the Nikon D3100 or Canon EOS Rebel T3 if you want to stay in your budget.
Also, B&H usually has great prices, so I would print some of those out before heading out. The big box electronic stores like Best Buy can usually match the price.
D3100
Rebel T3
Don't forget, unlike most point and shoots, DSLR's usually hold their value a lot longer. When your ready to move up, you can always recover some of the cost by selling it towards a better one.
