The main reason why I would like to "upgrade" is that I feel like I'm not able to get the sharpness in my photos that I'm looking for. Maybe it's just me and my lack of experience. Maybe I just need to practice more with the lenses I have, but I feel like my images are always soft. I wan't to be able to get that crisp shot that I see professionals get all the time. I know I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, but I would like to work toward getting closer to one. So I would at least like to get a reasonably priced option that could get me one step further so that I know that it's not my equipment that is holding me back, but my lack of experience. I don't know, maybe I'm looking at it all wrong, but I kinda feel like I need some new glass to get me re-inspired with my Olympus to reencourage me to continue practicing and trying to improve.

I tried upgrading the lenses and bought 14-54 and 50 mm for my E-510 but while it helped to get better pictures in lower light with increased speed, the focusing issues with E-510 were always a problem for me. AF is not the best on the 510 and SAF+MF is hard because of the small OVF. E-30 was a blessing! Such a difference. You can pick up a nice copy now for about $450 and never look back.

Good luck!
