Currently selling an SLR I have (Nikon N75 - selling on eBay under this same userid, if anyone's interested), that I just recently purchased for a photography class at school.. unfortunately, since I'm not an art major, the teacher backed out at the last minute telling us that we couldn't enroll in the class (of course, this was 3 days after he told us to purchase an SLR if we didn't have one and that he would have enough room for us in the class).. anyways, all bitterness aside, I'm also thinking of selling my Olympus C-3000Z and not sure which direction to head..
At first, I was thinking I wanted the Canon EOS-300D, but the price is a definite factor (even though it IS cheap for a digital SLR, still a bit out of my range) for a broke college student. Others that I've looked into are the Olympus C-750UZ, Olympus C-5050Z and Canon Powershot G3. They all appear to be excellent cameras, but was wondering if anybody has any other suggestions (for other cameras to look into), or specific problems that that they've had with these models. The EOS-300D is very tempting, but $900 for body/lens (then I have to consider a large memory card, possible extra lenses, and improvements made in 2nd and 3rd generation digital SLRs, for likely lower costs to the consumer) is a tad steep for me at this point in time.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
