Response to: Now what do I do?

I hear what you're saying, and others have echoed similar thoughts. But I think you're first inclination was the correct one.


Canon's Digital Rebel is the best value in digital photography right now, especially if you have access to Canon glass. Their CMOS sensor with Dig!c processing enhancement is outstanding.


Foveon isn't being embraced by camera makers as fast as I thought it would. It's a good technology. Maybe manufactures are reluctant to abandon their existing investment in CCD and CMOS and switch to Foveon. But at the moment, the Sigma SLR (with Foveon) doesn't pack as much overall punch as the Digital Rebel.


Lots of things could happen in the next few years. But right now, the offerings from Nikon, Canon, and Olympus seem most tempting on the SLR front.

    But it is false economy. Crippled software you can work around but cheap build quality will eventualy shine through.

    If you are tied to Canon because of lenses, it's worth saving for the 10D. If not, the E-1 is a beautiful camera to use and the build quality is comprable to flagship products from the big 2.
