The 14-42 is 3.5-5.6 and the 40-150 is 4-5.6

Rus.K do you take multiple shots in one location changing your settings or do you have a pretty good feel of setting it up depending on say the lighting, or how you want the shot to come out? The colors in this one is amazing.

Most of the time when you're starting out you will take multiple exposures in one spot just to get it right. but as time goes on you learn to have an eye for what iso and shutter and aperture you'll use. sometimes you'll get it first try and sometimes you'll be way off! the more you practice the more you'll start to get it spot on. Don't forget that underexposing and overexposing aren't right in a technical term, but they can add feeling and emotion to certain pictures given the composition and subject.

The 14-42 is 3.5-5.6 and the 40-150 is 4-5.6

I'm not sure which third party lenses are Olympus mounts but I would suggest seeing if Sigma makes the 17-50 f.8 and 35mm 1.4 for it. I have the 17-50 and it's an awesome lens. The best and sharpest I could really buy at that focal for the price. I think they're around $699.

As for zoom Tamron makes a 70-300 4-5.6 that I have. It's about 200 dollars but in comparison to the Nikon kit 55-200 and 18-200 it's SO much sharper. images come out great, although when you hit 300mm you do get slight color fringing. most of the time it's not even noticeable enough to mention.

Here's the Tamron at 180mm

When shooting cars I always like to take multiple shots when I have the time. You do however with time learn and get the feel for what kind of settings you need to get the right shot. For example with the pic you quoted that was while walking through a very busy marketplace in Seoul so I didnt have the time to take multiples.

Bingo

I will be upgrading from the Tamron to the Nikon 80-200 but when you look at price difference you can understand. It's all about quality of glass!

Olympus may also have some really nice glass that you could get that would be sharper and faster than any of the listed third parties!

Yep 100% agree. I only have my kit lens and a Nikon 12-24mm f/4.

I would have picked up the Tamron but got the Nikon lens used locally for a great deal.

In the price range you're shopping, the pros and cons between nikon and canon are negligible. You can't go wrong with either in my opinion. Find the best deal and roll with that.

For the record, I shoot Nikon and Fuji's.

Just choose a brand and go with it. You can't go wrong either way. My brother shoots Nikon, I shoot Canon. When we go on trips together I gather all our RAW files for editing, and aside from some slight color differences, you'd never know which came from which brand. Of course that will change now that I have a higher end camera, but that's irrelevant.

If you have any friends/family that are into photography, go with whatever they use so you can borrow lenses.

Or choose Canon because they have prettier lenses. I personally shoot with a Canon 6D, recently upgraded from a Canon 40D. I've got over 1,200 pictures in the flickr link in my sig.

^ excellent advice about shooting the same brand as family/friends. it's always a good thing to be able to borrow/share glass.

I recently made the jump from P&S to DSLRs and went with Nikon. I can't really tell you anything that the Cannon folks can't say. To echo everyone else, neither is perfect but you can't go wrong with either.

Went through your Flickr, great pics

Going through them now, first couple looks really good.

Best advice I can offer is to "play" with both nikon and canons. They both make very good cameras and lenses and it really comes down to what is comfortable in your hands. With that being said, I learned to shoot with nikons and have always owned nikons. They feel best to me. I am the odd man out in my group of friends because they all shoot canon. I would have absolutely no problem owning/shooting a canon but once you start building your lens collection it becomes harder to switch financially.
