Evolt 410 DSLR
So I got one of these DSLR's for Christmas, my parents unfortunately picked it out and I'm still not sure if it was worth it (could have gotten a D40 or an XTi with one lens) cause it came with a couple lenses

Pic related, took it when I got back to school (and consequently removed the color from it)

also, any advice for this DSLR newfag?

First, learn to resize/compress your pictures before posting them on 4chan.
Second, black and white =/= instant art.
Third, don't complain about your camera. Those kit lenses are good, and the camera itself is unorthodox but still nothing that can stop you from taking good pictures.

That camera isn't bad. It's a shitload better than some P&S. I'd guarantee that it will outperform you for a long time. Don't worry.

only problem with olympus and other 4/3rds dslrs is shitty lens selection and the 2.0x crop factor which makes wide angle lens selection limited.

Your only real problem will be that you won't be able to get QUITE as wide a range of lenses for it, even from third party companies.

But it's still a decent camera for the price, and as was said, is quite likely far more camera than you need at this stage of your photography.

In time? You might need better options. But it'll let you learn.

Shitty AF lens selection. The selection of manual lenses is the biggest of all system if you count adapters, but 2x crop factor sucks for old wide angles (although 1.5x APS-C crop isn't much better if you want something less than 35mm)
