Hi Everyone!
I dropped by the local Camera Shop to try to find out when the Olympus C-8080 would be available to the public and was told the end of March, beginning of April.
I really like what I have heard about it Online so far.
So back to the Camera Shop.
I walk in and begin asking questions and before I know it, the sales person hands me a Canon Digital Rebel. He starts with an impressive sales pitch that almost had me walking out the door with a new camera.
A couple of things stopped me. One, while they sold all makes, they were primarily a Canon dealer, and two, I wanted to get a little feedback from some of the Online forums.
I read the Steve's review and while he gave it a great review, he considered the Rebel an amateur level camera (from what I understood). Does this have to do with the price or are there hidden drawbacks I should be aware of?
Bottom line, would it be possible to get professional results, (the kind a photographer makes money with) with either the C-8080 or D-Rebel? And of the two, which one would you steer towards?
Thanks for any input.
Gary
