I posted recently asking for suggestions for a first digital camera.
After researching the issue, I'm looking ay:

Olympus E1
Canon 20D
Nikon D70
Nikon D100

My budget is $2000 for body, basic zoom to cover range from wide to
short telephoto, and adequate memory for 50-100 shots at max
resolution.

The one caveat is that I have a very thorough Olympus manual focus
lens collection, and either the Olympus or Canon would allow me to
use many of my existing lenses.


You have picked out some very nice cameras. I happen to have the 20D
and I have been very happy with it. However I am going to make a
suggestion. Go out and pick up and handle each of them. Work all the usual
controls. Look through the view finder. How do they feel to you. Don't
pick one that just feels bad. It always will. Don't pick out one just
because it feels good, but how it feels is important.
