Default DSLR Crew V. looking at a new camera

Alright, well my Canon EOS 8 MP was stolen, so in looking for a new one I found a deal on an Olympus Evolt 10MP DSLR Camera With 14-42mm & 40-150mm Lens Kit (E-410). for $350. Reviews are sort of in the middle with this camera, but the price is right. Anyone have any experiences with this camera? It is a short term deal, so I am limited in time.

Olympus is an offbeat company imo. I would stick with Canon or Nikon. I am sure you can find a used d40 body or something for around hthat price range.

Yeah, my local best buy has it on sale is well. I think I may just hold off and get a bit more cash and go for a higher MP Canon.

MP is a myth. There is NO reason to go over 6mp unless you are blowing up to HUGE proportions or you are zooming in a lot post-edit.
