I bought a A55 when they first came out with a 24-70 and 70-400. I'm so much happier with the Canon lens selection, the old-school mirror, etc. The Sonys overheat, take terrible high ISO images, don't take in as much light, have a mediocre lens selection (mostly rebadged Minolta lenses), have mediocre accessories, etc. I wrote a long post on DPreview about my experiences that the Sony fanboys hated and helped to delete.
If you're going to buy Sony, buy a NEX.

I looked at the Nex 5n and fount it had no viewfinder. The Nex 7 has a EVF that looks like it might breakoff, but seems like a good camera, just overpriced. No really wide lenses either, 16mm (24mm equiv) being the widest..
As to lenses for a A57, you can, I believe pick from a big selection of Minolta AF lenses as well as the Sony.
there are tests of a limited number of Sony lenses here.
