I bought the olympus e-500, for a novice like me with little experience ( except from my sister who is a photo journalist) it's awesome, its basically a point and shoot camera out of the box and takes awesome pics. Im playing around with all the manual controls now. Overall im am very satisfied with my purchase. I was oing to buy the rebel xt but it felt like a toy in my hands and i just couldn't get over that. the olympus worked out to $1050 with tax. The two kit lenses are awesome and even though there's no image stabilization it isnt a problem. Low light is a slight issue, but after messing with the white balance and flash settings i seemed to have solved it. Have taken 96 pictures so far, and battery life is amazing.

hope everyone finds a camera they love and don't overcomplicate the simple, go out, take some pics and have fun
