Hi!
I’m thinking about buying a dSLR camera. From the reviews I’ve read — Olympus E-510 looks like the best bet, with its in-body image stabilization and dust reduction system. But, compared to Nikon or Canon, there are very few Olympus lenses available. So — what cameras have similar characteristics and are in the same price range as E-510? What would you recommend? And, for an amateur photographer, how important is the number of available lenses?

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3. 5-5. 6 IS SLR Lens

  • Focal Length & Maximum Aperture – 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
  • Lens Construction – 16 elements in 12 groups, including UD-glass and aspherical lenses
  • Diagonal Angle of View – 74 20′ – 7 50′ (with APS-C image sensors)
  • Focus Adjustment – Gear-driven
  • Closest Focusing Distance – 1.48 ft./0.45m (maximum close-up magnification 0.24x)

Product DescriptionEquipped with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application. IS technology compensates for camera shake by providing the equivalent effect of a shutter speed up to four stops faster. This allows you to take sharp handheld shots even in low-light conditions–a must for sports and nature photography. The lens also offers an aspherical lens element that corrects for aberration, thus producing a topnotch image throughout the zoom range, and a circular aperture that exquisitely renders out-of-focus backgrounds. Despite its minimal size, weight, and cost, the lens expands the picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds. . . More >>
