[QUOTE="slyseeker, post: 254545, member: 18122"] The Kodak and Fuji are fixed lens SLRs, which is ok if you don't mind not having future expandability. I've heard great things about the Canon and Olympus, tho I'd assume that the Canon has better aftermarket lens support vs. the Olympus. If I were choosing between both, I'd probably go with the Olympus, since it has better construction (I don't like that Canon uses plastic for the 350's case). That, and the Canon seems to be overpriced compared to the competition - which has nearly caught up in photo quality. I was considering the Canon and Olympus for a my dSLR way back in March/April when I was searching, but ultimately ended up with a Pentax *ist DL which was way less expensive, has metal construction, better review LCD and takes great shots to boot. I think you can find one for about $400-450US. Shoots RAW and JPEG if you can sacrifice 2MP, and has decent lens support. Otherwise, I would have gone with the Olympus. [/QUOTE]
