Best for who? Making such blanket statements is easy. One must always keep in mind that every user has different needs.
hahaha .... best for an amateur like me.

Maybe for those people who 1) Needs a cheap , light Dslr equivalent with bigger (Apcs)sensor than micro four third
2) Donot want to invest much in lenses after the first buy
Also my idea is mainly based on dpreview's gold award to SLT a55.
But at the same time this site has awarded oly XZ1 a gold award which is absard as this cam is not good in processing jpeg comparing to s95 or lx5 although price is 30,000 INR for nothing. i have read Sony is trying its best to advertise and probably influencing (bribing?) many reviewers in web world......hmmm
Good News For NEX lovers :- wait for NEX 7 with evf coming in March april 2011 with a series of e mount lenses.
