Upgrade from Olympus

[dock39145]

I need some advise. I have an Olympus evolt 500 that I am currently using. It has been a pretty decent camera for me but it is lacking in some areas.

I was leaning toward a Nikon D90 but read several reviews about problem issues with the camera. I guess my only reason for thinking of the D90 is because I had the N90 years ago and it was a great camera.

I am thinking about a Cannon T2I. I can handle the cost of a used one, the lens seem to be less expensive and I am loving the pictures I see on the INTERNET taken with the camera.

Here is a link to my flickr photostream so you can see what kind of pictures I normally take. Flickr: dock39145's Photostream

I am missing a lot of action and wildlife photos with the Olympus I have and before I start putting money into lens I think I would really like to change camera.

Which areas, specifically? A lot of times, people chase after gear, rather than stopping to think that maybe their technique needs some work, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.

This could be a lot of things, aside from the camera body. The E-500's autofocus is pretty good, from what little I've read. But catching wildlife and action photography is more about timing and readiness that it is about a camera's burst rate speed or how many AF points it has.

Also, how much money do you have invested in lenses? Because repurchasing an entire system can be very very expensive.

You also want to be aware that for wildlife you're going to be giving up the advantage of a 2x crop factor to get you more reach. Some of the Olympus four-thirds lenses really have no comparable analog on the Canikon side of the fence because of the relative crop factors.
