Jamie, I was referring to the functions being IN the Oly body and not dependent on the lens. I admit I am ignorant to most technical aspects though.

I've been doing more and more reading and "in hand" consideration. I know I don't want a Canon Rebel.....it feels too small and is not comfortable to my hand at all.

I've been reconsidering my Oly choice as well.
I know its not the camera that makes the portrait......several shots with my Panasonic proves that. I want something with some speed and capable of taking photos that may later be blown up to , say, 16x20.

I'm basically choosing Canon over Nikon to cut down on being overwhelmed. If you think that's a bad idea...please tell me. I want to make the best investment.
I'm not interested in full frams as I don't believe I'll need to go that far.

I'm thinking along the lines of a Canon 40D or 50D and adding a 5DMII further on in the future.
If you have suggestions along those lines in regards to Nikon...please...share!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
