hey guys,

i am looking to upgrade from my digital camera to a digital slr camera and am very confused.
My brother has an olympus digital slr which he purchased with a spare lense, battery and case about a year ago for $1300. I have used this camera and am pretty impressed with it, however upon visiting my local shops they are saying that the canon is a lot better in an entry level camera. (by the way im in Australia).

can anyone make any suggestions as to which make or model is the better one to get.

any info or tips are much appreciated,.

thanks heaps,

Moi.
