I think it was the early 70's a napkin with a ball point pen sketch on it sold at auction for a little over $15,000. Back then 15K was a lot of money, the artist was Pablo Picasso. No one ever asked what kind of pen he used. Parker? Bic? Papermate? Cross? No one cared.
Can we now stop bashing this guy in three threads?

Point well taken.
But can he stop making a new thread each day asking about the same thing? I haven't bashed the guy, but I'm getting annoyed each time I look through the new posts and see thread titles like, "reasons for not using olympus", "should I switch to canon/nikon?", etc. by him. People keep giving him advice, and he isn't doing crap with it. He keeps making these silly threads whining about why he can't focus here, or why he can't afford a good lens. It's hard to keep taking him seriously when he's just going to turn around and make another thread because he can't make a decision on his own to either get rid of his current gear or keep it.
This relentless bashing and ridiculing of the original poster over the entire length of this thread, and in TWO OTHER threads, by the same people, is becoming more and more like a campaign of personal character bashing, insulting comments about a beginner's skill level and proficiency, and stalking behavior. Seriously--those who are following the OP around and bashing on him in this thread and in two others need to really just let this slide.
The comments about the E510 are missing one of the central probklems that camera suffers from: a very SMALL viewfinder image size, and frankly, a very poor viewfinder. The bad viewfinder and the degree of judging accurate focus, and the degree of difficulty in using the camera while wearing eyeglasses are listed as two of the most serious faults in the dPreview review of the E510. Some d-slr bodies, like the e510 and the Nikon D50 for example, have what I call "crap viewfinders". As in really,really,really poor viewfinders. Far below the level of clarity or ease of use of the majority of APS-C or 4/3 cameras.
What we seem to have is an inexperienced user with an E510 and a 30-year-old manual focus 50mm 1.8 Zuiko lens with no auto diaphragm control, and he's having difficulty getting good results. For various reasons. Such as he can't afford the high price for the 50mm f/2.8 AF prime Olympus makes in 4/3 mount. We get it....he's having some difficulties--and about HALF of the problem is the E510's weak finder and lack of Autofocusing, and the other half is the user's inexperience.

I find it irksome because he wants to blame Olympus, and in this case, I dont think the camera or any limitations of the 4/3 system are the culprit with this individual.
I think he needs to look at this thread

I think he left the thread. Why would he stay around for more jeers and put-downs and snotty comments? The people FOLLOWING HIM around to additional threads, some Olympus users themselves, have done basically NOTHING to help. Nothing at all, just catcalls and put-downs and defense of Olympus. I was trying to redirect the discussion more toward helpful suggestions, or just better behavior on the part of respondents--even if the behavior consisted of ignoring the guy.
