I've been using a crappy little p & s for some time now and am ready to upgrade to something better. I should point out that my current p & s has little by way of manual settings. Mostly it's point, and shoot. In other words, when it comes to things like f-stops and shutter speeds and white balance and wide angle lenses and all those other things, I'm definitely a neophyte. To be honest, dSLRs intimidate me. But, if I want to up my game, I'll need to up my equipment.
First I was thinking a Nikon D5000, but after some research decided the D90 would better fit the bill. Then I came across this review of the new Olympus E-620. Great review; plus the camera is much less money.
Anyway, long story long, I thought I'd get your opinions on this camera. I mostly shoot wide angle landscape shots. I like close up shots too. Mostly artsy type stuff. Well, artsy to me, maybe crappy to others. I'll definitely be looking into getting prints made between 8x10 to 20x30. The price point's sweet, but maybe there's something better in the same price range. Or should I simply splurge on the D90?
Good Review of Olympus E-620 dSLR
