Again I thank each of you for your input.

I do understand that if you use Nikon you most likely will steer me that way. And if you use Canon that's the way you would hope I go. I get all of that. But I have used neither and so for me its good to hear what others opinions are. I am hoping in the end to choose what will best fit my needs.

Being totally honest, I have shot with Nikon users and Canon users who were better photographers than I am by far. But shooting side by side, under good lighting conditions, I think my images are sharper and clearer than theirs in most cases. But change the lighting conditions to where I have to move to a higher ISO and their images far surpass mine.

And I can see them shoot and capture very decent images, in lower light and in action shots where all I can get is blur. So I miss so much and so many neat things. So I want to try to get this right this time, thus my questions.

And to clarify a few things I do have the OM-D and the adapter. So my present lenses work on it but I am not as satisfied with the images as I was lead to believe they would be. The camera does have some neat features but I am looking for better quality than I have been able to achieve from that camera.

I also don't intend to sell my Zukio glass. I know I would only get a fraction of what I paid for it and its such great glass I feel I can still use it and hopefully down the line Olympus or Panasonic will come out with a camera that renders great images on which I can use those lenses.

I have the a 50-200 Zukio and its a sweet lens. Quite small considering the great images I able to get with it. I also have the prime 90-250 lens and it too renders great images and I love that glass. And I have the 300 prime, with which I took the photos I posted on my first post. Its an unbelievable piece of glass. I doubt I can ever get as good of lens as that. Again its sad that Olympus quit making top end DSLRs. I also have the 1.4 extender and a few of the prime smaller Zukio lenses. Like I say I think I will keep most of those and just hope.

I was ask how close I was when I took those shots I posted and if they were cropped. On the mule deer I was about 60 yards and the same with the elk. On the owl it was taken from about 25 yards, high in a tree.

I would like to ask both the Nikon camp and the Canon camp about the very best glass that is offered, in your opinions, for my desired wildlife shots. Which of the two cameras offer the best images in low light, high ISO shooting, considering I have their prime lenses?

I made my living as a real estate broker and owned apartments most of my life. In the past week I sold my very last unit, which I owed clear and which had been a great investment for many years, so I will take a chunk of those funds to hopefully purchase the RIGHT equipment. Although money is always an issue, I know I will have spend plenty, as I want the best and so in that sense money won't stop me from getting what I need to get to fill my needs.

Again I thank each and everyone of you for time and thoughts on my post. It is very much appreciated. I will continue reading and thinking about what each of you post, so please keep giving your input as it is very important to me and I am thankful for it.

And thank to those who commented on the photos I posted at the beginning of this post. Here are a few other photos from my old worn out Olympus equipment. BB

I wish that were the case, but it isn't.

Like I mentioned above in my first post, if I have any strength it is in getting closer to animals than most can do. My passion for 50 years was bowhunting, and I was driven. It taught me patience and persistence and a ton about wildlife and how and why they do the things they do. And now my passion is in wildlife photography. So much of what bowhunting taught me about wildlife I use in now trying to get good, close photos. But it never taught a thing about equipment. So I lack there and I lack in knowing photography like many of you . This I ask these questions.

What I have learned from both, is that if you really want top notch photos, you need good glass and you need to get reasonably close. I have the getting close skills far better than most photographers. I have the funds to purchase good glass. I don't have the needed knowledge about the equipment that many here have.

Again I appreciate all your comments and I thank everyone for their advise and the links they have given me. I am checking all this out.

Keep it coming please. BB

I am at the point where I need to purchase a new camera and a good array of lenses.

I do exclusively wildlife photography. And my strong suit, if I have one, is not in knowing a lot about photography or cameras or equipment, its in now, understanding and being able to get closer than most to wildlife.

I have been using Olympus cameras for the last 10 years. I have their best glass and it mighty good glass and renders great shots in good light. But they quit making DSLR bodies and although I have their most recent, its old and worn out. And it sucks in low light. And I miss so much on both ends of the day.

Come on man, you know people who own Nikon will recommend Nikon while people who shoot with Canon will recommend Canon. Do your own independent research unless you just need someone to hold your hand and lead you down the primrose path.

So do I go with Nikon or Canon? And if so which one and why, and what glass. I want the best glass I can buy and the best body for shooting wildlife in all conditions.

I know this is going to set me back a big chunk of change, but it will be the last major camera set up I will ever purchase, so I want to get it right.

I loved my Olympus E-5 and wished they would have continued on the DSLR trail like Nikon and Canon did. But they didn't and I have to face that fact. So this time I want to get it right and hope to hear what you guys and gals think would be the best camera and best lenses for me for my kind of wildlife.

I thank each and everyone of you who reply for your help and insight.

Best shooting to all of you.

Here are a couple photos I took this last fall with my Olympus E-5 so you can see what I do.

Thanks again. BB
