You would be sorry by purchasing the olympus cameras.

Jeff, do you mean "would NOT be sorry..."?

I don't know anything about the 500, but I bought the EVOLT E-300 back in April, and am happy with it. I am new to the SLR world, and was afraid to invest too much just in case I realized it was not for me. So, I opted for Olympus, as I was able to purchase the body and two lenses at a much more affordable price ($629 thru Dell) than Canon or Nikon. Since then, the D50 and Rebel XT have dropped in price - those are both very excellent cameras, too, and have more lenses available. I guess it's really up to you to determine your wants (current and future). What helped me was going to www.pbase.com and doing a search on models... it helps to see what other people have done with the cameras.

Whatever you get, please be sure to post some shots so we can see!

Good luck...
Carol

but what shots we get are based on the photographers skills, not the camera itself.

I've had the E-500 for a few months now and it's a wonderful camera. From what i've read everyone says the kit lens are the best kit lens' available. The 40-150 is a little sharper then the 14-45.
