the Olympus..unless you are very confident in your technique then the D60. The Oly has built in shake reduction so will work with every lens in the line. Nikon uses lens based VR. The D60 doesnt have a built-in focus drive motor as well so you need to look for lenses that have the motor built in.Now I'm tied down between a E510 or Nikon D60. Which would be the recommended one? Thanks guys..

He's not getting a D3 or a E-3.
u don't need those cameras to use those lens right? :bsmilie:
esp on olympus bodies since no differentiation in sensor size.
:bsmilie: The price of the lens itself can buy 2 of the E-520 with dual kit lenses already. ;p
One thing that the TS may one to consider that there isn't a common "portrait lens" (F1.x) for the Olympus system... Hence to get a better DoF in portrait shots, either you zoom-in closer or your next option is DI (or PP),,,, :dunno:
By the way, Sigma 30mm F1.4 is available for olympus mount.
But I prefer F2.8 to do portrait.
F1.4 is very thin, easy to miss focus eg: sharp nose blur eyes.
Olympus has SHG zoom lense with F2.0 throughout the focal range. But you have to pay $$$$ for that.
The IQ for the Sigma 30mm F1.4 is not really fantastic & you pay more if you compare it to a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 or even the 28mm f/1.8.... :think:
For the Olympus 50mm F2.0... it is really $$$...... if you consider the focal range that you are getting....
For those who knows what they truly desire in a good lens, they will pay for a larger fixed aperture lens e.g. the Olympus f2.0 rather than a f2.8 lens. For camera manufacturer to produce a lens that is 'one-stop faster' e.g. f2.0 lens - the technology and raw materials must be 'high grade' enough to make such an excellent lens; thus the price difference. Knowing these information will certainly help folks to make a better decision about an expensive purchase.
