Maxxum 5D VS. OLY E-500

[igbe]

This has been a hard and long road for someone who has always owned point and shoot cameras. I am not even sure I am ready for the upgrade as I looked hard at both the A200 and Fuji 9000. The main issue is funds come and go so I am not sure if SLR is the way to go as I am not sure when I will be able to add to the camera.

For the OLY I was looking to get

Both options put me in the MAX $850.00 for the purchase where as the A200 and Fuji 9000 could be had for a few hundred dollars in savings.

Thoughts?
