This is a really appealing deal. Thinking of either getting this or the d60 now.

A pretty good deal...but that particular sensor is a bit noisy over 400 ISO.

I've played with it quite a bit, and what turns me off about this compared to my Canon 1000D is the fact that the selector dial and on/off switch is on the left side. I like holding my camera with my left hand cradling the lens and my right hand holding the grip, and i don't like having to move my left hand to switch any of the modes or to turn if off... I know this is a personal thing, but it just really bugs me.

The button placement of most Olympus/Sony DSLRs baffle me. I can figure out the Nikon and Canon ergonomics really quickly, but the other companies' layout makes me go huh?
Like finding the aperture control button and ISO button on most of the basic DSLRs from those two companies takes me a good few minutes of examining teeny tiny script with too many markings...

Though I don't think I can live without the thumb wheel and the index finger wheel setup on SLR's... so easy to control shutter and aperture!
