Buying dslr camera-opinion's please

[R.A.D]

Hi,

Just to pipe in, I am a die hard fan of Nikon and have owned numerous camera bodies, lenses, flashes etc.. and therefore recommend the Nikon D70. There are many other great cameras out there and the Olympus is no exception, however, with the Olympus you are only able to use their Digital lenses only and unless you have a ton of money these lenses are not cheap. The D70 will accept most of the older Nikon lenses and you can find these alot less expensive used. IMHO, Nikon has one of the best metering systems, 3D Color Matrix and it is very accurate. Although I did not like the Canon Digital Rebel, Canon did a very good job with the 20D. It is about $600 dollars more then the D70 and I am not sure if it warrants that difference. In any case, whatever you do decide to do make sure you purchase the RAW converting software and shoot in RAW, it will make your life a lot easier. Anyways, my two bits.
