If there are many branches between you and the subject, it will be difficult to get any camera to focus on the subject. On the E-520 you have the option of narrowing the AF to a single center point (as opposed to the normal 3), and this can help, but it is still a big problem and a DSLR cannot work miracles.(The trend in DSLRs is to have more focus points, not less. In fact the E-520 is criticized for only having 3. When I'm doing wildlife photography with a big zoom, I always use one. Go figure.)Thomas, I agree that the image quality with a DSLR is better than with the S5 or most other superzooms. This is the main reason I got the E-520.</blockquote>
