At this point I do understand that we're discussing just personal preferences, not trying to convince anyone about what is a superior system, that's why this topic, like canvas bags or others alike keeps poping-up often. To me, althought I do not own any of those systems, but used it often [canon, nikon, oly], the oly lenses fits perfectly my needs, with as much quality as any other in the SLRD market, often more luminous, less bulky. I do like their skin colors ands greens out- of-the-shelf better than the canon or nikons, their TTL-flash system is understandable and not a moving target like used to be in nikons, and frankly speaking, noise to me and what I do is a endless thead filling subject more than an issue. But again, that's just me and my kind of photography when I shot digital, if I were back to the press biz, I'll use whatever my editor will give to me or he stated as desirable for the job, and that's all. And yes, your combo is a very nice carrying kit, but still I'd go with the oly 410 and one of their nice lenses, and not because I have something against nikon lurking inside me... I have no less than 4 of them and a few lenses here. :) Cheers. Any day above ground is a good one. ---------------------------------------------- http://luis.imaginarymagnitude.net
