Olympus E510

One of my earlier favorite digital cameras was the Olympus C5050.
I really liked the size and how great the pictures turned out.
Then came along the Canon Powershot A80 & A95. After that I had to have the Canon S2IS, which I use currently. I didn't upgrade to the S3IS, but was kind of waiting for the next upgrade.
This week on dpreview I see the New DSLR's that Olympus have introduced. The E410 & the E510.
I have always been on the verge of stepping up to a DSLR camera but since I've gotten so used to taking pictures using the back screen, which up till now DSLR cameras couldn't do, that I couldn't get myself to step up to a DSLR.
But now the Oly E510 has really got me excited. The difference between the E510 and the E410 is the E410 is a little smaller, but the E510 has Image Stabilizing.
I have read that the camera plus the two lenses will be just under $1,000.
What I really like is to be able to see on the screen what you are shooting. I have gotten away from looking in the view finder and now it seems awkward for me to look through it to take a picture.
Now things have changed. My S2IS might be heading for E-Bay.
