It will be interesting to see how their first DSLR performs.
Pretty cool specs with 10 megapixel, built-in anti-shake, anti-dust vibration. Only thing is it was developed so quickly, just one year after acquiring konika minolta. Comparison review of Sony A100, Nikon D70s, and Canon RebelXT here: http://www.digitalreview.ca/cams/A100vsD70svsXT.shtml

don't go with the fuji s9000, or the sony. Get a real DSLR. The fuji's "super ccd" is not really that super, and the "SLR" sony has a HORRIBLY small CCD.
And if you want to do macro photography, you can look into getting an extension tube. Much cheaper than a macro lense, and great to start off with. Maybe $100 canadian, compared to a good $1000 macro capable lense. Remember when buying your camera, too. It's only as good as the lense. For every $500 you spend on your camera, spend $250 on your lense. May sound expensive, but remember. That lense will still be worth $500 five years from now, while your camera won't  And yeah, I agree: go solid state rather than a microdrive. Microdrives are slow and have huge fail ratios. here's a good site. http://www.dpreview.com

Thanks Kwirky, I have decided to get an actual DSLR, I am now torn between the D70s, and waiting for the Sony Alpha, because the Sony has anti-shake build into the camera body, and although it isn't a huge deal, the bump from 6 to 10 megapixel would be nice. And the anti-dusty technology in it will be cool.

After going to the store and testing out the s9000 and the sony, i found them to be uncomfortable to handle and the EVFS a pain to look through. I have decided in the end to gt and SLR probaly going to pick the olympus e-500 tommorow, still torn between it and the nikon d50. SLRs are probaly better in the long run because you can grown into your camera instead of growing out of it (in the case of the s9000) Always more lenses to buy, flashes etc.
Also does anyone have a D50 of E-500? IF you do,give me soem dirt on it. I've read every review to be written on them, and am still undecided, which camera is better? hope ypu find a camera for yourself tb

You really have to choose which lenses you are going to buy along with the camera body in order to compare them.
