Were I you, I would look at the Nikon D7000 or the D600.

Subject: [OM] Thinking of taking the plunge.... 

I've had Olympus gear since my first OM2n in college.  I stuck with it, 
bought a 4Ti, have several lenses, and a T45 and a couple other 
flashes.  So, it was natural to go with the E-1 when I went digital.  
Also bought the FL-50.  Have been happy with the gorgeous images I 
get.... when there's plenty of light.

However, I work with a number of musicians, and often I'm at one of 
their gigs when the regular photographer isn't there and I need to grab 
some shots for Facebook or a website.

And that's when my E-1 lets me down with crashing disappointment.  
Miserable performance with stage lighting.

So....... I think I've made the decision that I want to sell off the 
entire OM kit, including all of the MF lenses and the whole E-1 kit and 
put the money towards something that can take concert shots.  Two of the 
guys I know are big on Canyon, the other shoots N*kon.

I do this mostly as a hobby - I don't get a lot of money for the online 
stuff, so a fully-pro body is out of the question.   So is a $15,000 
superfast tele.

I now cast out amongst the brains on this list - make a few 
recommendations for me.  Something in the prosumer range.  The main need 
is for excellent performance in low light.  And I will need a flash.  I 
would consider a one-generation-back used body if it meant I had more 
money towards a lens and flash.

I await your answers.
