Answer
The Sony SLT A35 is an upgrade of the earlier SLT A33. However, the SLT A65 is an even more advanced version of the A35.
Here is a hands-on preview of the SLT A65:

Yes, the SLT A65 is more expensive.
Sony SLT A65 w/18-55mm zoom lens, $999.99 at B&H.
Sony SLT A35 w/18-55mm zoom lens, $699.99 at B&H.

By using Translucent Mirror Technology in their SLT series Sony has eliminated the decades old moving mirror still used by Nikon and Canon in their comparably-priced DSLR cameras. The TMT allows for full-time phase-detect auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080p HD video. Although Canon and Nikon have models that allow for auto focus during video they both use contrast-detect auto focus which is slower and produces a visible choppiness in the video. Another advantage of the TMT is that the viewfinder never goes dark. You are literally watching the scene even as the shutter is firing to make the exposure.
All Sony DSLR camera models use the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount that dates back to 1985. This means that you have access to a large selection of previously owned lenses of excellent quality. Sony also placed a focusing motor in their camera bodies so those legacy Maxxum AF lenses will auto focus on the SLT A35 or A65 as they should. With Nikon you have to buy either the D90 (about to be discontinued) or the D7000 if you want a focusing motor in the camera body.
Another Sony feature is the in-camera Image Stabilization. Any lens used, even a Maxxum AF 70-210mm zoom made in 1985, becomes an IS lens. Nikon and Canon certainly can't say that since they have their versions of IS in some but not all of their lenses and you pay for it over and over. So if you ever decide to add a 50mm f1.4 prime lens to your kit it will be an IS lens on any Sony DSLR.
I suggest seriously considering spending the extra $300.00 and buying the Sony SLT A65.

What is a good non-DSLR camera that I can change the lens on?

I need a versatile camera that will allow me to changes lenses, if need be. I can't drop $600 on a DSLR but I want the best camera I can get for the money.
Answer
All prices from B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com
Sony NEX-C3 $599.99
Sony SLT A35 $649.99
Olympus PEN E-PL2 $479.95
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 $599.88
Nikon 1 J1 $596.95
NOTE: Some prices reflect an Instant Savings from B&H that may end in a couple of weeks so you might want to check their web site for details. All cameras shown incluse a zoom lens and free USA shipping.
Of these 5 cameras the Sony SLT A35 is the only DSLR. One of the reasons for considering it is the fact that it uses the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount which gives you access to a large selection of previously owned Minolta Maxxum AF lenses. A Minolta Maxxum AF 70-210mm f4 zoom lens from 1985 will auto focus on the A35 as it should.
The Sony NEX-C3 uses Sony's new "E" lens mount. Currently there are 7 lenses available for this lens mount.
The Olympus and Panasonic models use the Micro 4/3 lens mount.
The Nikon1 J1 uses the new Nikon "1" lens mount. Nikon currently lists 4 lenses for the "1" mount.
The Sony SLT A35 and NEX-C3 use the same sized sensor which is much larger than the 4/3 sensor used by Olympus and Panasonic and considerably larger than the sensor in the Nikon J1.
If I were spending my own money it would be for the Sony SLT A35.
