Hi everyone,
About 2 years ago I moved into Digital SLR technology, having used (and still using) film for quite some time. I purchased an Olympus E-300, as well as a Macro Lens for it, and thoroughly enjoyed using it.
Nevertheless, I feel that the E-300 has become outdated and am looking to move onto a new model camera. To this end, I am selling my old E-300, but am confused about which camera to purchase.
I sought advice from my local Camera House store, and they suggested the Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi. After researching the camera, it seems like it is a solid system - its MP count thrashes that of the E-300, and most the specs improve as well.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this camera - is it worth the investment? If not, which system is? I use Canon Film SLRs only, and therefore am looking to purchase a Canon Digital SLR so that I can utilize my already-owned lenses.
As a side note, I'd appreciate some ideas of how much I should be looking to get for my E-300, as I'm not sure of there worth these days.
Thanks guys,
Chris.
