I disagree with Tedolf though that you need to change the camera. You would be facing exactly same issues, and you will probably want to upgrade sooner, wasting your money. I think at this stage it would be better for you to search for portraits in this micro 4/3 forum, think which ones you like, and take a note at posing, angle of view, background, and lighting. Then ask questions about doing it with your equipment, and don't get discouraged if you come across an obstacle.

with Tedolph.

At this point the OP migh not gain much by swithiching to a simpler camera.

Perhaps Tedolph was trying to make a point about investing more resources in training and knowlege than equipment, especiallly for beginners or self taught photographers.

I think he also may have been trying to chastize the OP for consumer hubris.

Hard to say.
