Oly's consumer lenses are sharper than Canon's.
Sorry to interject, but I'm just curious as to how true this is. Are there facts to back this up?

on and one more thing. would the flash on the camera be sufficient for an amatuer or and external flash will be needed?
well, i'll be using it for landscape, event and travel photography. and yeah i'll end up buying some more equipment later on.
i agree that the canon system has an extensive lens range, but it costs a lot. and i think purchasing another lens (most probably a prime lens) will be enough for my needs. as for the external flash, i don't really know how to select one that is suitable for my needs.
What do you intend to use yr camera for?
Will you end up buying more lenses/accessories?
The more comprehensive system is prob the Canon system. But if you check the price of the equivalent lenses, the Canon lenses tend to cost more. Much more if you go for the high end ones with inbuilt IS etc meant for their top of the range EOS1 FF bodies.
Me, I tend to think that those buying the 450D and below bodies are kinda like buying the Mercedes A series cars; pay much more for the Mercs badge but car not as well built/speced as say an Accord/Camry/Golf. If want to buy a Merc start at the C class. Same for Canon; if serious go for the 5D up. The APS-C sensor is a compromise for the 35 mm FF, for which most of their lenses are designed for.
The Oly E-system lenses are designed ground up for their 4/3 sensor.
