Choices choices choices

I am trying to make some choices between two different camera systems. I could use some advice and a little teaching. I would use them semi professionally for outdoor portraiture and weddings.

The choices are:

Canon D50 with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens

or

Olympus E30 with 14-58 f2.8-3.5 and 50-200 2.8-3.5 zuiko lenses.

My concern with the Canon is what someone was telling earlier about how the sensor in the camera cuts the edges off pics or something.

But the Olympus system comes with digital lenses....

I could use some advice, some teaching on the differences here. I used to own the Canon lens and loved it, but with the sensor issue and getting more bang for my buck with the Olympus, I am a little confused on what to do.

Maybe I should just visit the camera shop.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Actually the Canon does cut off the border edges of the image circle produced by the lens. This is a good thing, it means your entire frame uses the 'sweet spot' of the lens, which is optically better. It also means that you can use it on full frame sensors as well, so you don't have to ditch it when and if you move up to one.

And neither of those Zuiko lens are really a fair comparison to the 70-200 f/2.8.

Don't worry about the edges. You will still get what you see through the viewfinder.
It only means that the 70-200 will be equal to a 112-320 a full frame Canon.
If you need wider then look for a lens starting around 50 or 60.
You will soon adjust to the power of the lens and maybe you'll add a 50mm f/1.8 to your kit for about a hundred dollars. Aren't any cheaper primes out there.

thanks all.

Your help and friendliness here is just fantastic.

Thanks so much.
