get ready to spend money ie lens, accessories etc. I have a 11-22mm Olympus @1200.00 a 50-200mm Olympus @ 1200.00 and the whopper a 50-500mm Olympus @ 8400.00 and three or four other lens that get used sparingly. Then there are the extra batteries, screen protectors, tripods and well its like the vehicle aftermarket in that it never stops. Oh then there's the bag to put everything in, glass cleaner, wipes and extra bodies re: Olympus E500, Olympus E510 and those are the two spares. I have the latest two models of the Olympus bodies. I guess the four bodies I have run to the total of approximately 4000.00 give or take.
Enjoy your new toy.

Can be but I only have one shotgun, I figure that is all I would ever need

If that's the prices of quality cameras. I'll start praying that my wife never gets into that hobby.

I bought a bridge camera to avoid buying multiple lenses.

from everything I have read the image quality and speed can't compare with a good drsl. My latest Olympus is lightning fast and images are golden. The bridge camera has its place but not in my place. Sort of a speed thing, I love my Olympus and the fact it can shoot 9 frames per second. By all means enjoy your bridge camera

Nah I'm sticking with just the camera. I have too many hobbies. Between smoking meat, Cooking, guns and other ********. Besides I need a supercharger

My brother has a super nice Nikon and he does some AMAZING photography work. He is going to do a photoshoot of the truck soon. Check out his work:

I just ordered a Nikon D5300 to replace my D40x. Still in the "starter" category for DSLRs, but it's at the high end of the starter category - I don't see the need for a full-frame camera at this point, so no need to shell out $2500 for the next camera above the one I just ordered. Plus, if I went full-frame, I'd need all new lenses to get the best effect, which would costs thousands of dollars just to get something worthwhile...

While at the local WalMart last week I noticed the red one you speak of priced at 19.97 and from all I hear he is the smart one in your family, do me a favour and congratulate him and lastly

Who only needs 1 gun...and a shotgun of all things? Don't get me wrong....I believe everyone (if you're a law abiding citizen) should have a shotgun but also a rifle and a handgun at a minimum.

I think, I think this is a camera thread.

Been into photography for years, started out with Minolta SLR and had a few of those. I'm now a Nikon fan for 28 years. Sold my SLR about 8 years ago and bought a Nikon D90 DSLR. I'll maybe buy another body in the future. Excellent lens in the Nikon line up but some are expensive depending on the glass configuration.

from all I hear Canon is the king of lens selection but as I was told when first starting out Canon Nikon Olympus are kind of like comparing Audi, BMW and Mercedes. How is the Nikon lens selection?

Canon does have a massive selection of lenses in many ranges of focal length.
I have always loved my Canon(s) for the speed of the autofocus.
Just like the debate who makes the best car/truck, the debate between Canon/Nikon will never be answered
