>>If theres another one I'm missing in this class, please let me know.. Im basically going on internet info and reviews online since our town is lacking a good camera store..

I would certainly wait a few weeks and see what new is announced. The reason I would wait is that when the new models are announced (Canon and Nikon just did) and come out, the prices on these older models will drop.

Any week now, Sony is set to announce its mid-level DSLR which is supposed to be pretty nice (12-14MP CMOS, image-stabilization, big bright LCD and viewfinder). It would certainly compete in this range, IMHO.

I have heard good things about the Olympus E510, although I don't know what macro lenses are available in this 4/3 mount.

However, if you have any investment in Nikon gear, why wouldn't you go with the D80 or one of the new Nikons? They are good cameras and you would save $$ by not having to run out and buy lenses, assuming you have some worth keeping.
