help on buying first DSLR

Some of the smaller players may exit the business due to economic conditions and low market share

I don't know if you're referring to Olympus specifically, but honestly, it's not something I'm overly worried about.

Olympus Corp enjoys a very strong medical sales division, specializing in microscopes, endoscopes and other things. The company began in 1919; it's first Zuiko lens was introduced in 1935 and first camera in 1936. They've been in the camera business ever since. They continue to offer some strong innovations, many of which others initially scoffed at, then copied. I mean, nothing would really surprise me in this economy today, but I really don't see them going under any time soon.

OP, did you ever decide? We're waiting on pins and needles over here!
