i miss my olympus e-510. i sold it off when i saw they were bringing out a 520 to fix a few of the quirks it had. amazing starter dslr with twice the options of many comparable cost equivalent bodies. problem is lense options. you'll run out quickly unless you have the big bucks.

agree 100%, I have 3 lenses, doubt I will buy anymore.. Too damn expensive..

She'll be taking some photo's this weekend at the parents house.

I'll get her to post some on here, maybe you all can offer her some constructive advice.

pffft. 10-20mm. that rarely leaves my cam.

afterall, wider is better.




although i have been using my 28-75 F/2.8 lately. 2.8 is also fun. even when you cant go WIIIDEE. lol.

Great shots - wide angle is next on my list.

thanks.

if i were you, and looking to go wide. i'd check out that new tokina 11-16 F/2.8. that thing looks pretty revolutionary IMO.

If anyone else is looking for a camera this Sony camera goes on sale for $550 with a wide angle & telephoto lens included in the price. I use the telephoto at the sporting events and wide angle when inside the house. Easy enough that I even can use it.
