Steven,

Sorry, I have to disagre with you about the lenses, only because I work in the industry. On paper, f/2 sounds better then f/2.8 - the reality of it is that it is that the 14-35, which is really a 28-70 lens, is no sharper then a Canon 24-70 f/2.8L, which I own. On top of that, none of their bodies are anywhere near as fast fps as the 20d, and they are barely as fast as a Rebel XT... not to mention a d200 or 1d mkII for speed.

Having pretty numbers on the side of a lens looks good, but not when the body can't do anything w/ the speed and not when the prices are 15-200% more in price. the Oly 7-14mm lens (14-28 w/ their 2x multiplier) runs just shy of $3000. Compare that to Canon's 16-35L lens for around $1600. Same goes with just about every lens they sell.

A bit late for a review of a camera that has been on the market for over 2 months, don't ya' think?

Anyway, $ for $ the e-300 does give a better deal, I've seen it under $600 with the two lens kit at http://www.ilikecheapstuff.com when dell does their crazy coupon codes.

The upside, both camera's are a lot of camera for the dollar, it is really hard to beat an 8mp dslr for the price point. The down side, everything else for them is really spendy, from the grip and flash units to the other lenses in the line. If you are looking for a camera to grow with and you really have no lenses from a previous 35mm film slr, I'd say go Canon or Nikon.

Just a note, Leica already offers a high end dslr called the DMR

1st poster, Matt, you may get it when it's in the 2nd gen? There has already been an S1 and S2 camera from Nikon, and wifi for them is not new.

The reality of it however is you must have their (Nikon) software loaded into the computer that you want to beem the images too, it won't just connect to any ol' router. When that is possible, and you can configure how / where you want to send the photos based on what networks are currently available, then it will be a hit.

Where I see this going wrong is on college campuses and urban settings or apartment buildings where you could unknowingly be sending photos to someone elses computer.

Samsung actually has a pretty good p&s for the price point that they are offered at. For first time digital camera buyers, i.e. your parents, its often more then enough to meet or exceed their expecations. I wouldn't write them off just yet.
