I really think brand does matter greatly. Like if I am going to get a camera that will be with me for several years, I definitely would like to have a good-looking one, name-brand too if possible, which currently there are four: Canon, Nikon, PENTAX, Olympus. But I guess with some effort I could get over the brand/good-looking thing and go for Sony... they seem to have very high-tech equipment; eye-start AF, fast AF live view, tilt screen, etc..

Decisions, decisions... :idea:
