Editorial Review: Product Description: Your life is full of priceless, fleeting moments that you want to keep just the way you see and feel them. Preserve each moment with the E-520. With the E-520's Live View, you can shoot your subject while viewing it on the LCD monitor, so it's just like shooting with a compact camera. In addition to phase-difference detection AF, the E-520 incorporates a high speed Imager AF that offers easy 11-point multi-area autofocusing with Live View simply by half-pressing the shutter button. Face Detection AF automatically detects up to 8 faces at a time and adjusts focus appropriately. Accurate composition is assured by the monitor's 100% field of view. The E-520 is equipped with a 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD monitor with high-definition 230,000-dot resolution, improved contrast ratio, and enhanced color reproduction capability. While shooting with Live View, framing-assist patterns or a histogram can be displayed on the LCD monitor to improve your picture composition and check exposure condition. The E-520 incorporates a Live MOS sensor with 10-Megapixels, Olympus' original TruePic III image processing engine delivers improved imaging, gradation expression and color reproduction capabilities as well as minimized noise at high ISO setting. Olympus' highly acclaimed dust reduction system employs a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the image sensor, which vibrates at such high speed and with such great power that it removes even the most stubborn dust; dust that cannot be removed by just shaking the image sensor or by discharging the static electricity.

 Rating: - Surprisingly good pictures at this price levelI looked at several camera models from Olympus, Nikon, and Canon. While a lot of folks go with Canon or Nikon, I found the values and quality of the Olympus 510 or 520 to be much better. I considered for a long time whether to pay less for the 510 or get the latest 520 for a little bit more money. I decided to go with 520 eventually and I am very happy with my decision. I also bought another 40 to 150 mm lens The focus is very sharp, colors are very good. Picture quality ... Read More Rating: - Best Entry Level DSLRI have this SLR with ZD 14-54 2.8-3.5 lens. There no other body and lens combination under one grand that can match the value and quality of pictures I can get from Olympus. The E520 is compact yet has super ergnormics when compared to E420 and Canon XTi, both of which I owned at one time. Rating: - very much worth the purchaseThe E-520 from Olympus is my first DSLR purchase and I must say that it is an excellent camera. I've taken some great shots with it outside and I'm very impressed. The kit lens (Zuiko 14-42mm) i find to be a great starter lens although in low light situations the auto focus takes much time and can be inaccurate. i plan to get the Olympus Zuiko 12-60mm lens to go with this camera as it handles lower light situations much better. the auto white balance can generally be accurate but i do suggest using either ... Read More Rating: - Olympus E-520, an excellent choiceI was shopping from my first DSLR and finally settled for the Oly E520 after shortlisting it with Canon XSi [450D] and Sony A300. Some of the features that made me go for it are mentioned below: - a nice package with 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses - the quality of Zuiko lenses [and they are smart to market them as optimized for digital photography] - SSWF dust removal system [which according to some works the best] - Live View [XSi and A300 have that too] - In body Image stabilization, ... Read More Rating: - A + CameraI purchased this camera body only about a month ago and wow, I have an evolt 500 and now have the 520 both take great pics, spend the little extra and get the 520 if you are looking at Olympus I highly recommend it, this is an A+ in my book. |
