this is a comparison. this will be my first ever digital slr.i still dont know my budget. but i think it can be big. i dont have time for lessons in photography for the next two years( just thought it might help).im not very familiar with the controls of the camera. so a more user friendly camera should be better. this is just a comparison and it doesnt completely help. because i also need the opinions of the users. so what should i pick?
there’s the new olympus camra. the e-420? is it better than any of these?
Since this is first ever, 2 of the five cameras (The Olympus E 420 and the Canon 40D) have “Live View” which might be more helpful for you. It is the LCD monitor outside the camera that you can view of what is focused in your camera, the rest you can only look through the view finder. I don’t know if that is important to you or not. Then there’s this thing called image stabilizer which means you have to buy a lens that has image stabilizer (less blurs).
If you are not going to learn all about your camera and their functions and why is it like this and like that, and what not, and it will mostly be in Auto Program more, then you don’t have to spend that much on a camera. Most of the menu you have to know what they are already or you need to learn what they are. The Digital slr has the capability of interchangeable lenses, so if you are willing to invest more money on lenses, it’s DSLR is for you. You can get a lot of the same features with just a regular digital like the Panasonic Z50 (SLR-Like digital camera) . It also has a zoom lens 35-420 mm, the price on that link you indicated are for the body of the camera only – so, add about $100-$200 for 15-85 mm lens. It has image stabilizer.
If you have to choose from one of those:
Canon 40D, because of the Live view, and has to offer more.
Olympus E420, because of the live view, price, and lots to offer like the Canon.

If you go to Amazon and check the cameras there, you will be able to so see more details of the description of the cameras.

With how fast the technology is changing, you can learn your basic photography with the Panasonic within the two years, and you can get what is new with the camera technologies in two years. But you can always go with your gut feeling on which camera you want. Go to a camera store so you can physically see those cameras and hold them. Good Luck!
