Seriously though.

Some of the best photography I've ever seen was done by amateurs. My youngest brother is an amateur photographer and his work kicks ass. He's a better photographer than me.

Everything depends on what you intend shooting.

Pics over the weekend of the kids or webmasters falling over drunk at a convention. Then go for a Nikon Coolpix.

Amateur pictures to impress people, then go for the Nikon D2X or the Canon D20, But get a profressional fixed lens. The Olympus is an old camera and the buffer drove me mad.
