ive known people who used the e-10 and 7i, both the older of those 2 models u listed.... the owner of the e-10 sold hers, she luved the camera but found it too big and bulky to carry around w/ her all the time, which was the reason she bought a digi in the first place, so she wouldnt always have to carry a 35mm slr w/ her they guy i know w/ the 7i luvs it to death and swears by the manual focus ring on it... my 2 cents, buy a canon d30 (used) or the new eos 10d - its a tad more money but a LOT more camera
