    Hey guys,
    Just wanted to see what you guys think. Both my dad and brother are really into photo, and Im starting to get into it. I'm looking at getting an intro Slr, and I have been looking at the Olympus pen. What do you guys think? I already know that if I get more into it, I'll want to move up to a Nikon, but for a first camera what do you guys think? Other suggestions? Thanks guys

    You can get a Nikon D3000 for the same money.

    If you have the extra $200 then do it. Your wallet, not ours.
