I finally made the ‘leap’ into the digital SLR world.  I sold my old friend, the Nikon Coolpix 5700, and bought one of these:

I was actually dead-set on buying a Canon Digital Rebel XT until the guy at the camera store introduced me to the Olympus Evolt E-500. Is this a better camera than the Digital Rebel XT? Probably not, but it seems to offer a lot more ‘bang for the buck’ than either the Digital Rebel or the Nikon D50, especially considering it got it with two lenses for nearly the same prices as the other brand’s single lens kits.

One thing is for sure: It’s going to be a while before you start seeing any worth-while pictures from me… I feel totally lost with this new camera!  Having no twist-n-flip LCD and live preview is something I already miss, but having ISO settings up to ISO1600 will be nice.

Stayed-tuned for some nice photos… I hope!
