Hi. I have narrowed down my search to 3 cameras that I think will fit my budget. Just as an aside I do not mind getting somewhat "older" model cameras. This is a new hobby for me and will basically be an add-on or continuation of other hobbies I have such as hiking, birding, nature, etc. I will use the camera for casual nature photography of birds, nature and maybe eventually some macro. I know that you usually need giant telephoto for bird photography but I am doing this for fun and probably won't have the budget for some of the expensive telezooms. I am not a professional, just someone who enjoys taking pictures. Out of these 3 cameras what are the advantages/disadvantages for each for the type of photography I will be doing:
1. Olympus E-620. (like the 2x multiplier for lenses)
2. Pentax k-x or k-r with 55-300 lens. (like the quality I have seen on some sites from this lens and size of these cameras).
3. Pentax k20d with 55-300 lens (like the weather sealing).
I tried using an E-PL1 in the past and while I liked it for other things I had trouble with the autofocus being a little slow for wildlife/nature. Any input welcome. Thanks!
