I'm looking to buy my first dslr and i'm weighing these two options. The Cannon XS was released 2008 and its 10.2 megapixel but the Sony a390 was released 2010 and is 14.2. Here's my delema: i can get the Cannon XS for $400 including the original lens PLUS cannon 55-250mm lens. Or i could get the sony a390 for around $439 with the original 18-55mm lens.
So what it comes down to is what is worth my money? I just want a nice camera to take high quality photos
Answer
Buy the XS, the extra lens makes it worth it over the Sony and that's coming from a Sony shooter!
Don't worry about the mpix, the image quality of both cameras is the same in reality.

Do professional cameras come with a lens?

Excuse my ignorance, i'm planning on buying a digital slr camera - and obviously to know everything about a camera you should use it & i've never used/bought this type of camera.
i need to know if the price of the camera includes the lens in it.
If the lens inclusion depends on the camera, i'm thinking on these opportunities:
NikOn D3000
Canon Rebel T3 (1100d)
Nikon D3100
Sony A390
Olympus E-620

When you buy a DSLR, you can either buy the body only (just the camera with no lenses) or as a "kit" (camera body and 1 or 2 basic lenses). Most ads will specify if a lens is included, but you should read the specifications to verify it. Since this appears to be your first DSLR, I would suggest getting a camera kit and taking a basic photography course at your local community college (some camera shops also offer decent courses).
The best thing to do is visit your local camera shop and see which ones have everything you are wanting and feels good in your hands. Both Nikon and Canon make nice cameras. I prefer my Canon for its ergonomics and the menu layout, a fellow photog prefers Nikon for the same reason.
Don't forget to budget in things like extra battery, memory cards, and a nice padded gear case to start off with and then start saving for additional lenses.
