TPF Noob!
I am somewhat new to photography. I have messed around with friend's small P&S cameras and have gotten good results, and am looking at DSLR's. I have been studying and looking at the Olympus E-500 mainly, and it interests me but I have some quarrels with what the reviews are saying. I am aware that the main prosumer cameras are the Nikon D50/70, E-3/500 and Cannon 350D.
I am not sure which to pick, and as said earlier am mainly interested in the E-500. I know I will be taking photos of a friends band for promo shots as well as live photography, so a higher ISO will not mix well with the E-500 which is what I am worried about. Although, on the other hand I really do like the idea of very rarely, if ever, having to clean the sensor.
I'm sure you all get this question quite often; I have read all the reviews over and over but simply want some re-assurance and other opinions. So: (Aside from which feels better in my hand) "Which camera would you all suggest?"
