@cosine, thanks for the info, the nikon m wife has now is a P&S camera so not changing systems their.

@onslow, I thought about changing to another oly body maybe the E510, but I did get to use a 30D at a shoot last weekend with a 50mm lens and I was really impressed with its speed and it outperformed my E500. I may still wait and check out the e510 before getting the canon, but with 3 weddings coming up in aug and september I wanted to add a 2nd camera to my line up.
