My interest in photography has been greatly increased in recent times after purchase of an Oly compact followed by an Oly bridge (SP560). Before kids and mortgage I dabbled in SLR photography with Oly and Pentax (long time ago I'm afraid ). The SP560 is a pretty good all rounder but suffers with image quality in anything other than bright daylight and any ISO setting above 200 can be disappointing. Saving images in RAW is also a good cure for insomnia. So, I'm now looking at moving up to dslr. Landscape, flora, fauna, buildings are my main interests.
Being an Oly user for most of my life, my heart says I should go for the e520 with twin lens kit. It is very portable and according to the reviews I've seen will perform very well.
My brain however worries about the 4:3 system and potential potential noise at higher ISO may be a problem.
Please tell me that I have nothing to worry about! Or alternatively, can any one recommend a better option in the £500 to £800 range. Clearly I'm at a point when lens selection becomes more critical in terms of future upgrades.
