<p>If I were to upgrade from an E-420 to an E-620, what would I gain? I can think of three things:<br>

- 12 MP rather than 10<br>

- moveable LCD screen<br>

- stabilisation.<br>

Is that about it? Is it worth the £350-ish cost (less whatever I could sell the E-420 for)?<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>I have an E-420 with a 70-300mm f/4 - 5.6 Olympus lens, but even this isn't long enough for my bird photography. I have, at the very most, £500 to spend. What is my best option, out of:</p>

<ul>

<li>500mm f/8 mirror lens, plus adaptor</li>

<li>OM series 400mm or 500mm telephoto lens, plus adaptor - I reckon I can just about do this on my budget</li>

<li>teleconverter - will this still give acceptable image quality</li>

<li>something else I haven't thought of</li>

<li>give up - there's no way I can get what I'm after at this price band.</li>

</ul>

<p>All advice gratefully accepted!<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>I took these two photos a few days ago using my E-420 and 14-54mm lens. In one, I focussed on the rock in the foreground; in the other, I focussed on the pier in the distance.<br>

Which one do you think looks better? How should I crop it for maximum effect?<br>

Thanks<br>
