My first question is, what type of film camera do you have?
You might want to see if youe exisiting lens's would be of any use
I own the Canon 400D (Rebel XTI) and have been quite happy with it.
I went the route of buying the body and lens's seperate.
Nikon vs Canon ....it just a matter of flavor..that's all, both are well made and have a good reputation. There are plenty of lens for either brand to choose from. Sigma makes great lens for both flavors. plus they have their own, s plenty of options
The Oly 2lens kit is a really good deal. I came really close to buying one. One really cool thing about the Oly is it has dual card slots..one for CF and one for xD , I can see that as a handy feature. Here's a link to a good gallery taken with the e-500 girsempa

I haven't used PSP in a few years, so you might want to see how it works with Camera RAW files.
[ Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/?sdid=YZVR) is a great product, but not exactally cheap.
I think any of the above would be fine choices.
