I used Olympus in the film days (OM4ti) and when I made the switch to digital, I chose Canon because Olympus at the time didn't have an alternative of the same price/quality.

Although I'm very happy with what I have, I still miss the elegance and compactness of my OM. Compared to it, the 40D with lenses weights probably the double. If I would start now, I'd probably follow my heart and go Olympus again. But as I own a good prosumer camera body and great Sigma lenses that are Canon dedicated, I'm "stuck".

Think well before you make a switch!
