Newbie seeks camera suggestions

[goodguy]

Just came back from Costco and like all of us I zoomed first to the camera section.
To my joy I saw a new addition which I think you might find interesting.
Sony a3000 which goes for 350$ including basic kit lens and 16GB memory card, thats 50$ more then the Canon T3

I played around a bit with the Sony and was rather impressed with it, it has very little buttons so you will need to dive into the menu to work with the camera but it is a modern camera with an excellent 20MP new sensor.
Good quality pictures and I think worth considering instead of the Nikon 3100 and Canon T3

Where does the Sony compare to the Nikon 3100 and the Canon T3?
