"I have been practicing using my new E-510 for a couple of weeks now and am disappointed with the detail I am getting on my bird pictures. I have adjusted the settings of the noise filter, sharpness, white balance, etc. It is not that it doesn't produce good quality pictures with great color, but I was expecting more clarity with a 10mp camera vs the old 4mp camera. Do I have to get the more expensive lenses to get the detail that I want"

Hi Diane,

Welcome aboard. Would you mind sharing some of the photographs? It may make it easier to help diagnose what the problem is.
