If I were you, I'd get neither - and search for a Canon
If you decide on one of those, choose the Sony. However, I am a professional photographer (all digital) and I vouch for the quality of Canon cameras (both lenses and camera make/body, etc.) - and for the same amount that you'd pay for any other brand of camera, you're getting more quality for your money with Canon, trust me.
If you need to discuss this further or need a specific recommendation feel free to PM me.
