Mike, I agree with your point about true DSLR taking better pictures over the NEX-5 (14MP worth mentioning); however, I disagree with the gimmick camera part. The point is the NEX-5 is a fantastic and fun camera for those amateurs not looking to do too much customization while taking pics and also looking for a REALLY fast and decent camera. As far as I am concerned, it is one of the fastest camera I've owned and the pics were very decent for most of the occasions. Now if we were talking about going further in depth and advanced tweaking then the DSLR takes precedence.

What purpose does Phelan intend to get from the camera. If he is looking for a camera that could be used professionally, the T2i or even T3i would largely suffice for starters. On the hand, if he is simply looking for a camera to capture fun events without all the extra tweaking abilities from a DSLR camera, then any high end Sony/Canon non DSLR would do the job.
