Sounds like a treasure!
I never had an SLR until I got my digital SLR.

I use an Olympus E-10 but am hoping to update in the next year or so.
If for no other reason than I am inspired by new toys. They have come so far
since I bought this one. Not that it's a slouch, it has definitely held it's
own technologically speaking and I have taken prolly a million photos with
it.

My photos are all hobby shots, not a professional pic in the lot (maybe one
or two for clients, but thats it) but I enjoy it so much.
In particular I like macro photography. If a bug crawls on my leg I will
jump around and scream and carry on till someone kills it.
If it gets in front of my lens, look out, it's a whole 'nother story.

Wow, surround sound and all that... sounds like too many choices.

You MIGHT buy your camera at a place with a generous return policy, just in
case you have to try a couple before you buy.
Some places have models set up for you to play with. Staples used to, if you
ask a Department Lead it might be ahta some of the camera shops would let
you do that too and they could give you teh low down on features.

I hope that you find something that suits you.

On the dvd thing, I am personally a little afraid that the dvd itself will
degrade and of course that technology will pass it by.
I have decided that my photos on disk will be stored with my laptop for
future generations LOL
that way, they will HAVE the player. Like the old 8mm projector that is
still in your grandparent's attic.
