Hi,
I used to frequent the site a year or so ago and at the time had an olympus e420 with various lenses and gear, but there cam a time to choose between drumming and photography (i chose drumming and sold my gear which turned out to be a big mistake as band screwed me over etc.....).
I have decided to reverse the decision and take up photography again and need to buy a camera. I have a budget of around £200 and have found the following but I cannot decide on what to go for.
Olympus E-PM1 or E-PL1 (I quite like the fact they have built in art filters and the idea of a compact sized camera with interchangable lenses but dislike the fact they have no built in viewfinder)
Lumix D2 (I like the fact it has more of a dslr look about it and a swivel LCD as well as a viewfinder but it seems more basic than the olympus)
Canon EOS D400 (My grandad used to use a canon 35mm when he was alive, plus the lenses and accessories seem to be more available and cheaper)
Olympus E420 (used to have one and loved it but do I go backwards???)
The sort of photography I am interested in aiming for is dramatic landscapes, long exposure, arty stuff (poss some portrature thrown in the mix).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you give me some advice as my head is spinning trying to decide.
I have even considered buying an E-PM1 to use as I save up for either an E420 or D400 but do I do it the other way round???
Confused much! lol.
