We bought an Olympus Digital SLR for my son last year for his birthday
to kick-start his photography aspirations... (when it was $300 more
expensive than now) he's gotten good use out of it in the meantime, so
we don't regret it. The two-zoom lens package makes it a better value
than some of the better-known Canon/Nikon models.
