i like some of the features, and i dislike some of the features. would like to shop it a bit.

#1 stock lens is useless with 3:1, will force me to buy glass (which i didnt really want to do for few reasons)

#2 not sure im crazy about the silver look, but thats not a huge deal.

#3 LCD is only for menu, not for framing.

#4 reviews say flash is a bit weak, ill need to buy external.

other than those things it all looks great! I would like to see comprables though.

how do i find them?
Nikon D70, Pentax *istD. That's probably about it... there's not a huge selection of low end dSLRs at the moment.

dSLRs are designed for better image quality from the start. Zoom lenses with huge ratios such as 10X are going to be rare or impossible to find (since the designers have to compromise the quality to be able to offer such a wide zoom range), and I don't think there are any dSLRs that have non optical viewfinders either. I'm not sure how consumer digicams work but dSLRs have the sensor completely blocked off until you press the shutter button... same as a film SLR, strangely enough.
