apart from the ongoing news about their management in japan i think...
@Bladekiller, since you mentioned Canon EOS 1100D and Nikon D3100. In my opinion, both are very basic entry level DSLR. So go with either one you are most interested in. Both are more or less the same. D3100 doesn't have a built-in AF motor so some old lenses will not do AF on D3100. Although Nikon has released new version of the lenses such as 50mm f1.8 and 35mm f1.8, but they are relatively pricier. EOS 1100D on the other hand, will do AF with most lenses. However, if I were you, I will go for Nikon although the new G lenses are pricier, but their optics are improved, thus deliver better image.
Anyway, since this might be your very first DSLR, you can always change brand when you learn more and know what you prefer. It's easy to change when you haven't invested too much. If I were to recommend other beside these 2 models, I will recommend Sony a35 though.
@addedon, Olympus is another story already. They do produce DSLR, but in another format, called Four Third system. Four Third is a bit smaller than normal APS-C size featured on Canon/Nikon/Sony. But according to Olympus, they claimed that Four Third is best optimized for Digital. They claim that normal Fullframe lenses when used on APS-C sensor, will not deliver the greatest result. And Four Third lenses are specifically designed for Four Third system to avoid some imaging flaws such as flare and low dynamic range. You may notice that Four Third lenses (both Olympuc and Panasonic) have different focal length. For example, their kit lens is normally 14-42mm compared to normal 18-55mm on other system. This is because smaller sensor size, has larger crop factor, which is 2.0 instead of 1.5/1.6 on other APS-C sensor. so 14-42mm is basically equivalent to 18-55mm. So this is basically what's Olympus.
Ok, now if you look deeper inside Olympus DSLR, you may notice that Olympuc E-system have lighter ans smaller body. And they tend to produce camera which are tougher and more promising quality. Even some weather resisting lenses are made better in quality than many other brands. They are like real steel. That's why Olympus is another brand that NASA brought to the space beside Nikon. Image quality wise, Olympus is as good as other brands. I don't know why, but Olympus tends to render blue colour in a special way and nicer way. It's so special that people can easily recognize that's Olympus Blue. To be honest, Olympus is a good brand to be looked inside if you are interested.
