Hi,

You seems to know alot.
This is some pictures I took.  Again, it was a pain in the a$$ to take these pictures with the Sony...

 So, essentially:

 - you're sick of the Sony which you claim uses 1/30 sec, 99% of the
 time
 (and no exaggeration there, I'll bet you a million dollars..)
 - it's a 'pain'
 (well, if it hurts, you can probably sue them)
 - it 'doesn't let enough light in'
 (it's a P&S for heaven's sake - did you not notice the size of the lens
 when you bought it?)
 - there's no way to shoot anything that moves
 (try pre-focussing, anticipating, reading the manual, researching how
 to use a basic camera...)
 - you don't like the feel of the Canon XT
 (me either, so at least I agree there..)
 - or the Nikon D50
 (hmm, you *are* fussy)
 - the Olympus E500 is made in China and so should be cheaper
 (the money-hungry mongrels.. - actually, the E300 and E500 kits have
 quite a reputation for being very good value for money - let's not get
 started on globalisation and allegedly equal playing fields (O:)
 - you had an Olympus before and 'it couldn't focus anything' and was
 'horrible'
 (if you're not exaggerating again, it obviously had faulty AF - why
 don't you get these problems fixed under warranty?)

 Now what one thing is there in common with all these bad cameras that
 you have been using?

 Hint - check your signature for clues as to attitude.
 Further hint - check mirror.

 In other words, I think instead of asking which camera is best for you,
 it seems nothing will satisfy you or give you good results *until you
 learn a little more about the craft*.

 The Sony W1 is a very capable camera, as long as you understand what it
 is, and how best to use it.  Here's a quote from Imaging resource:
 ====
 Beginning through intermediate users will be right at home with the
 Sony DSC-W1, and advanced users will enjoy its excellent portability
 and new manual control option. Although the Sony DSC-W1 is technically
 a high-end point-and-shoot digicam, it has a lot of creative options
 and enough image adjustments to handle a wide variety of shooting
 situations. So, while it's designed to relieve you from complicated
 exposure decisions, advanced amateurs and business users will
 appreciate it for its quality, portability, and varied shooting
 options. It appears well-built and its lens mechanism is impressively
 fast. Accessory lenses make it more versatile for wide or telephoto
 use. Overall, an excellent "all around" camera, with impressive speed
 and resolution.
 ====

 If you can't make it work for you, either it is very faulty (and given
 your similar problems with other cameras, seems like that may not be
 the case), or you aren't driving it very well...  In which case I'll be
 very surprised if a better camera gives you better results.

 What's a DSLP, anyway?  (O:

Is the E-500 that big?  It looks very small from the picture...

The G6 costs as much as a DSLR.  So, it is not a bargin... Same as the Nikon
7xxx/8xxx... They cost as much.

I've tried some of the Canons.  They are slow to start and take picture;
and many of the pictures has alot of purple color around the white color by
some unknown reason...

So, bottom line, you don't recommand any DSLR?

Bandwidth along with food, and money are there to be wasted... ;)
hahahahah!!!

The E-500 is actually larger than the Canon RebelXT, and the Pentax only
undercuts the Canon by 1 or 2 millimeters in any dimension..  If the Canon
is too large for your hands, you must have the smallest adult male hands on
record.  I'd look at some of the other, newer digicams like the Canon G6, on
the market, if I were you, they'll be significantly smaller than the DSLRs
you mention, and the performance should exceed that of your current camera.
I snipped your HTML, since some IP's won't allow it to show, and it is a
waste of bandwidth.
