I like and prefer the canon because of the choice in lens and the availability of them from so many places.
  I was like you and for last two weeks have been reading all of the reviews and forums all over the Internet and have decided on the Canon. 
   I have used Olympus film SLR cameras and they were the best in their day.  Things have changed a lot now with so many good ones to pick from. :)
 Which ever you pick let us know. :)

I will get mine this friday when I go to Washington, DC for a weekend visit.  Where I live there are no good stores to pick other accesories from.  I want to get a camera bag and maybe another lens. :)
