yet, another question about camera's?

ok, from my previous question, i’m guessing that the Fuji Finepix 10.0MP Digital Camera (S1000FD) isn’t exactly the “best” camera, atleast according to the review i read : http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=3514&review=fuji+finepix+s1000

so i went shopping around looking at camera’s today, and started looking at the olympus camera’s, and saw one that caught my eye, the Olympus SP570 UZ and i read some reviews on it, and it seems to be a very excellent camera… but all this stuff about excellent camera’s and which one is better can get VERY confusing, so my question is:

1. which one out of the two takes better pictures
2. which one is worth every penny
3. which one is excellent for someone who wants excellent pictures/quality/etc…
4. OR is there a better camera that isn’t too expensive.

also, if ANYONE owns any camera, i’d really like to hear what you have to say.
please and thank you

I have used three different point and shoot digital cameras. They all have the conundrum of not taking a picture at the exact time you press the shutter button. There is always a delay to focus, set exposure. By the time all that is ready, the subject has went on, or the opportunity is past. I then bought a Nikon D60 SLR camera, and it reacts instantly, records instantly, and you can take a series of pictures very quickly. I just shot some soccer players, and was able to capture the ball whenever I wanted it to be in the picture. The only conundrum with any SLR is the cost. Mine cost about $ 700.00, but worth every penny.

I have an Olympus E-300 and I’m interested in getting it internally cleaned.
I know of a few community camera shops around, but I was just wondering about how much it would cost.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
While I haven’t changed lenses in a sandstorm…
It’s a few years ancient and I haven’t been the only owner.

How dirty is it? It is VERY unusual that dirt and dust gets into a DSLR unless the user leaves the body laying around with no lens or lens cap on it or chooses to exchange lenses in a dust storm.

My guess is it will cost upward of $ 100, but until you really call the repair shop and question, you will not know
