Olympus EVOLT E-330 Digital Camera

Pros: Excellent range of options, Great Pictures, Dust Reduction, Live Viewfinder, Long Battery Life
Cons: AF is horrible in darker settings, Heavier than comparable models

Finally, Olympus has gotten it right. A Digital SLR camera where you can use the LCD as a live viewfinder. This is how a digital camera should be. Granted it will not replace the viewfinder, but it helps greatly when shots need to be taken from very low ...

Pros: As in review body.
Cons: As in review body.

Pros:

Live View... only sometimes useful, but when it is, you get a really one-of-a-kind shot. Macro lovers might use it more often though.
Unique body design that enables use of internal flash with another on the hotshoe.
Zuiko lenses give good performance -even for the kit lenses.
Effective internal dust cleaner.
Good solidly-built body -though not weather-sealed. Comfortable to grip.

Cons:

Pricey!
Lousy high ISO (>800) performance. Noise appears in ugly blotches rather than as grains. Horrible when obvious horizontal bands start to show up in underexposed shots or shadow areas. "This is normal" says local Olympus service person.
Third party lenses and accessories far less common than for Canon or Nikon.
Zuiko lens line-up is limited. Sigma is/has released a few lenses for the Four-Thirds mount as alternatives.
Viewfinder is dark.
Slow AF (at least for kit lenses) -AF servo hunts in the dark.

Well, my first DSLR. Perhaps I was expecting something super-duper compared to my Canon Powershot -it wasn't, but it sure gave me the creative latitude I need to develop my photography interests more (except for low-light photography...).
