thank you. the Powershot S series by cannon is really great. you really get a bunch of camera for your money. hte lens is about 38-432 as well. and the latest, S5, really ought to be nice as mine is 5mp and it is 8.
still dreaming for RAW, then I'll buy!

(Jun 13 07, 13:46)i have the S2IS and am awaiting for the camera to have RAW. But the S3 and the new S5 look to be dandy cameras.

i haven't bought a new camera yet. i'm still researching. i'd like to check it out in real life to see how it feels ergonomically and whatnot, but nobody around here is carrying it. but i live in tulsa, oklahoma, so that may be part of the problem.

Ender did you end up getting this? What do you think?

I've had the e-500 for a while myself and absolutely love it. The e-510 from what I've seen isn't much different, just a higher MP count and a few little niceties here and there for the most part. The image quality is spectac. If you're thinking about getting the 510.. i'd say go for it, unless you don't need the latest and greatest, then you can save yourself some cash and get the 500.

I have the E-500, been using it for 18 months and its absolutely brilliantly, I've used Canon's and are not as good. The E-500 has nearly all add-ons the 510 has, and this looks even better.

or up a level to the Nikon d70 or Canon 400D, my only beef with the D40x is no AF-s lenses.

does anyone have a site they trust for lens reviews? i wonder if the new olympus zuiko lenses are better than their past offerings.

thanks for your input, madirish. i've read that before. i really like the in-camera image stabilization, and i think that the e-510 and the pentax k-10 are the only cameras around this price point with it.
