I am sure it is preference. I don't have a DSLR, but do have a SLR. I started with an Olympus, but switched to a Nikon because I preferred how the body of the camera fit in my hands, and how the controls were accessed by my hands. The Canons of the day had too many buttons for me. (this was back in '81). Olympus cameras are great, and I think great values. If it fits you and you like it, I am absolutely sure you will get great service out of it. Congrats!
