Looking to make your photography feel like something more than just a casual hobby? If so, spending more on a digital SLR generally means you'll get better shooting performance and more features than with an entry-level model. You also get the reassurance of a more sturdy body and neat features, like the articulating LCD screen found on the Olympus E-30 and Canon 60D.

There are other cameras in this price range that may suit your needs too, including the Pentax K7 and Nikon D7000.

I have a Canon EOS 300 - can I use the lens on a Nikon body??
I am really over film as it is not helping me improve and want to upgrade...

no-canon and nikon lens cannot be used on each. you may find a connector on ebay however that converts,Film is still the best quality but digital so much easier.

I am not saying that Canon or Nikon are bad cameras, but I find that it's not so much what brand of camera used, as much as the photographer behind it. I have gotten excellent results with a Pentax Optio SV, a Lumix DMC-F30 and a Canon 300D. Yes, if you buy a really low end point and shoot, you get what you pay for.

If you are in the position of looking a DSLR's and think you may take it to a higher level then you need to keep in mind that your lenses (or future lenses) can be used on the next upgrade. Should this be even a remote possibility then you are better off sticking with either a Nikon or Canon. Just look at what the pros use.
