I think I shall seriously consider this camera as a replacement to my recently damaged Samsung dslr. Did you compare live view auto focus with manual focus? One review I looked at had some test photos and the manually focused ones were noticably sharper. The 2X crop factor is something that would be a big bonus to me on my Skywatcher scope. With a 1.5X converter I'd get 1800mm and with a 2X converter I'd get 2400mm. On my old Samsung I got 1350mm and 1800mm respectively. Plus it would give a jump of 4 million pixels over my old camera. Price is good and I shall look at the E-520 also.Your photos all look ok but the doves looked the best. I did all my usual tweaks to the dove photo and it came up really nice. What sort of range were they at?Paul.</blockquote>
