I want to buy a digital camera, and I have two choice , what do you think? which one is better?

Olympus Evolt E500 8MP Digital SLR with 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 & 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Lenses
or
Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens

Canon.

My husband is a professional photographer and swears by them.
He also worked at Ritz Camera for years and always saw Olympus coming in with problems.

Plus, extra equipment is always more affordable for Canons.
(That's an added plus).

Good Luck!

I say go with the cannon... There are a lot of cool things you can do with a cannon that you can't do with other cameras.

I'd go Canon.

I would go with the canon!

Personally, i have had good experiences with Canons over Olympuses, but i don't know those specific cameras.

the cannon 1 hs a better lense to take the picture which means a clearer picture

Difinately the canon, much better picture quality.

I absolutely love my Rebel but you will have to buy another lens if you want to do any distance work. The olympus does give you a zoom.

The evolt has better features.
the canon edges it out in high ISO image quality (low light sensitivity).

If you can afford it, look for a lens upgrade. The Rebel's sensor is excellent, but the kit lens is its weak point. You'll get higher quality images out of a good compact, like the Fuji F40, than that lens.

I think the canon is better

Canon. This is going to be much more versatile in the long run. A friend told me, "Friends don't let friends buy Evolt."
