Hi Phil
I had this dilemma a few months ago.
What I did was to go to a photography shop like Jessops or equivalent and try out different cameras.
It is like trying to find the right pair of shoes.
The camera has to fit you.
What persuaded me to go with my Nikon was the fact that it just felt right compared with the cannon equivalent or one of the Sony or Olympus ones.
Go and try out a few, the shops won't mind and then you can decide better that way.
Hope that helps.
