hey all,
i want to but a Digital SLR camera that has a resolution of either 8 or 10 mega pixels (10mp preferably). but i don't want to spend any more than between £250 and £300 as i am only starting with digital and im set on this price range and image quality.
i have seen the Olympus E400 for £300. which is a 10mp DSLR/pro. i really like this although i am not to sure if there are any other cameras that are of better quality and for less money.
i have used a digital camera enough to notice the difference between the DSLR image quality and a normal digital camera.
but i am also concerned that it was only the camera that i have used before that captured the amazing images (nikon d50) and not the actual type as this is the only one i have real experience with.
so what do you all think of this camera and is it worth £300?
if anyone has better suggestions for an enthusiast photographer they're all welcome!
thanks

If you like how the Nikon does, then why not stay with them for a DSLR instead of going to another brand that you have no experience with ?? What is the price difference of the Olympus and a Nikon ?

the nikon d50 is around £200, although it is only 6.3mp and i want more than this, the step up from that is a lot more expensive but i could give it a look.
the olympus e400 is £200, so i would be paying 100 more for a brand new DSLR with approx 4mp more.
how does that sound to you?
edit: and also the nikon d80 (which is the step up from the d50 with any real changes) is around £400-500

why exactly do you think the more the megapixels the better?
the question is what are you shooting?
I have a 8mp rebel xt, i blew a pic up to 20x30 and it was beautiful.
the d50 is a great camera. Heck you can ever find Canon 30D's cheap since the 40D was just released.

iPirate: i never did think that the more megapixels the better. as i KNOW they are not. the fact that its a DSLR only means that the amount of megapixels will restrict the size i can enlarge the photo without it being distorted or pixelated. and for the amount money i am going to spend i would like something that isn't going to be left behind in the future (i dont want to spend around or over £300 on something that is old and not the best i can get for the money)hence why i said;
''the olympus e400 is £200, so i would be paying 100 more for a brand new DSLR with approx 4mp more.''
as i wasnt sure whether saving money was the best choice, and i SHOULD go for the other camera as it is BETTER QUALITY for MONEY
but i shall look at the canon eos 3od although a quick look shows that brand new this would be out of my price range. thanks

Olympus E400 is quite a good choice and you can have a look at some canon and sony camera .

Dont worry so much about the mega pixels so much. Too many people think this is most important. Look for options on the camera and comfort.
