I've been doing 35mm for decades, and finally got a small point and shoot digital. I broke it a few months ago.

Now that I understand the whole digital thing, I'm shopping for a real camera.

Funny...I was just researching the Evolt 410 on sale with (Probably) the same two lenses for $499.00


I've been discussing digital photography/cameras with a kid I taught photography to many years ago. Now, he's teaching me about digital.


I think part of your blur problem is that you probably have those varying aperture zooms. 3.5-5.6? As you zoom, your aperture is getting smaller. 5.6 is a fairly slow lens.

If that is the case, you can't open the aperture, as the salesman suggested, so you can't shoot faster.


As far as the zoom, I'm told the 150mm translates to a higher magnification when you try to compare it to the 35mm results. So, your 150 might be more like a 180.


I researched the prices on the fixed aperture zooms. As eric suggests...they cost!



Meanwhile, my quest continues.


How much was your 500? I'm thinking of buying the 410 just to get going, and maybe save some money for a few specialty lenses.
