Don't know who's wienie/dick it was, but it wasn't mine.

I 'm trying to keep the cost down. So, what do you think about this set up guys:

Olympus Evolt E-500 8MP
$699.99 After Rebate
Digital SLR 2.5"
40-150 & 17.5-45mm Lens
Compatible with Zuiko
Digital Lenses
256MB XD Card
Battery & Charger



Or, is this a better deal:

Canon Rebel XT 8.0MP
EF-S 18-55mm Lens
Battery & Charger 1.8" LCD
Compatible with more than
50 EF and EF-S Lenses

$799.99

It doesn't have a long lens but is the camera a lot better?
