Yes, I picked up a 3030 too and so far I love it. Will mostly be used for
my website, selling on eBay and my wife's art photography business (Lisa
produces slides of local artists work for use in competitions). Someone's
bound to eventually need digitized versions of their art work too.

| Hi Shawn,
|
| Funny you should mention that combination to consider. My brother-in-law's
| brother (ain't that a handle) was faced with the same dilemma. An old
| manual C*n*n user he was unsure which route to go. He called me to chat
| about same and I gave him my sparse knowledge. In the end he opted for the
| 3030 and now tells me I am the guru of digital ( I really know squat -
just
| know the Olympus had to be better based om ny sisters 600). He uses the
| camera to shoot product, tradeshows etc, creates posters, brochures etc
etc
| with the images. Finds it very intuitive and a real pleasure to use.
|
| Hope all this is of some use.
