    Thanks for the input. What would you think of the Olympus E520? Seems like a decent camera and very affordable right now.

    I'm a big fan of the Olympus digital SLRs because they're so small. You can read my Olympus E-520 pro review here:

    Olympus E-520 Pro Review >>

    The Olympus Four Thirds sensor is smaller than the sensor in Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc. digital SLRs. That allows Olympus to make smaller camera bodies and lenses. They also have image stabilization built into the camera body so you don't have to buy special lenses. No matter what lens you use it will be image stabilized. The tradeoff is that the smaller sensor is a bit of an image quality compromise. It's still far better than a P&S camera, though. I love the Olympus DSLRs for outdoor photography because they're so small and light. I own Canon cameras with way better image quality. But most of the time I use the Olympus cameras for mountain bike and ski photos because they're so much easier to carry.

    And yeah, Olympus also prices them very competitively. And since they've come out with two new DSLRs since the E-520 (E-30 and E-620), the E-520 should be a really good deal right now.
