Wrong wrong wrong.

I am always amused by people finding megapixels the all and all of photography. 2ndly, your body has got absolutely NOTHING to do with your glass and or zoom. Sure, built in IS is cool, but you don't really need it, and it makes the camera a) heavier, b) more expensive.

And seriously, Olympus' 70-300 f4-5.6 entry telephoto @ $379 vs Sigma's 70-300 f4-5.6 entry telephoto @ $220.

What's the catch? Oh! And Olympus' 50mm f2 @ $400 vs Canon's 50mm f1.8 @ $80 and Canon's 50mm f1.4 @ $420

I don't get your "Is it because they don't charge you an arm or a leg for one" argument :)

he he -- so much for me looking like I know something.. lol

Up close and personal with a bit of extra zoom. We got to touch them and even put our hands in their mouths. Got a kiss from one - half my face was covered in mud :lol:

Nice kit doOb!

I'd say get a card reader as the rubber cover where you plug your USB cable in will wear out and could eventually break off, its better to remove the card from the camera and pop it in a card reader... just my 2c! 8)

35mm is fun but 6x developing and printing? EISH! Your bank account has my sympathies! That must have been like more than 500 bucks!

I recently took 950 odd pics at an airshow and it cost me nothing, just the entry ticket and the odd coke! :D
