Ok I think tomorrow is the day. I made an offer on a Nikon D80 with 2 lenses but haven't heard back yet.

I'm leaning towards the S3 to save a buck but only if they are still on clearance at OfficeMax. If not I'll just get the S5

BUT.... And there always is right?

So while looking around I've decided that $549 might not be to much for the Canon EOS XT 8.0MP. That would give me a nice entry level DSLR with the ability to change lenses or add filters for taking tricky fish tank shots.

Tony want to add to that? I kinda like the EOS, but I kinda like having some coin in the pockets as well. I'd like to think that the EOS would stay "current" longer than the S3 or S5 with the ability to adapt.
