Hello, I am looking to get more into the photography and am looking for a new camera. I currently have a Canon S3IS and want something more advanced. It has to be something that will last me for a while, and that has the more advanced options.
I've narrowed it down to the Olympus Evolt E-620 and the Canon Rebel XSI (EOS 450D). Originally I was looking at the Olympus because I wanted an in-body stabilizer so I didn't have to get lenses with stabilizers in them (I heard that they would cost a lot more), however when looking at the stores around here, most of them recommended the Nikons and Canons rather than Olympus and said that the Olympus lenses can be hard to find.
So which camera would you recommend?
Do both the Canon and Olympus have a wide-variety of available lenses?
Do lenses from either brand tend to be more expensive?
What do you think about the Sigma lenses?
This will be my first real SLR, and I really don't know what to look for in lenses and haven't had much luck doing research of my own... So any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
