Camera opinions: Olympus vs Nikon?

I'm desperately in need of a new camera. Right now, this is what I'm looking for:

-under $600 (max $650)
-interchangable lenses
-digital SLR
-great picture quality (obviously, but most bang for the buck)
-I know that to an extent all cameras do this and there are ways to adjust it, but I really like being able to focus on a single object, and everything else is blurry
-fairly easy to use
-live view on screen

I have friends and family pushing for the Nikon D3000, but I've been looking at the Olympus E-510. Opinions from people who own either of these, or just know a lot about camera's in general?

Here's what I've found on the Olympus:

Nikon D5000 pictures are all black when using a 18-200 mm lens? How do I adjust?

What setting do I need?

Added (1). Sorry for my mistake. Thank you for your answer. The camera and that lens is new, but, I'm trying to use my old lens which is compatible but ONLY in M mode. That much I know but I still need help. The pictures are black and I have it on M for Manuel. I'm guessing it might be a setting but have no idea what setting it could be. This was a Christmas present and I love the new camera and new lens but as you can tell I would like to use the lens from my original camera.

Need Lens Recommendation for Nikon D3100?

I'm going to be purchasing that Nikon D3100.
I need to know which additional lenses I should purchase.
Most of my photos will be of my children and nature and landscape shots.
I'm not looking to spend hundreds on one lens, as I'm on a budget.
But, I would like some recommendations please!

How to open NEF files on Photoshop?

How can I open NEF files on Photoshop?

I bought a second hand Nikon D5000 + Sigma 70-300mm DG Macro (no OS no APO) last January 17, 2011; and I want to know how many shots had been made on it. So far, I have made less than a thousand shots on it.

Here are my shots of the Dinagyang Festival, last January 22-23.

Nikon D80 not taking pictures?

I haven't used my camera in a few months. I turned it on this evening and it won't take pictures. Somehow I got it to take a few, only with the flash on, and now it won't do anything.
Is there a setting I should change, or a way I can reset everything?
When I press the snap button, it turns the preflash light on and makes a sound similar to a film camera rewinding.

What do I do!
