Olympus E-520 Digital Camera Review

The E-520 ($599, body only) is the follow-up to Olympus' popular EVOLT E-510 digital SLR, which was introduced in March of 2007. The E-510 featured a 10 Megapixel CCD, sensor-shift image stabilization, dust reduction, full manual controls, and live view on its 2.5" LCD.

What's new on the E-520? Pretty much the same stuff that you'll find on its sibling, the E-420. Those items include:

Larger, 2.7" LCD display (versus 2.5") Contrast detect autofocus (with select lenses) and face detection with live view Faster continuous shooting speeds (3.5 vs 3.0 fps) New vertical and horizontal panning IS modes Shadow Adjustment Technology brightens dark areas of your photos Perfect Shot Preview lets you see the effects of exposure compensation and white balance settings on your subject before you take a photo Built-in wireless flash control

The 10.0 effective Megapixel Olympus E-520 camera body F3.5-5.6, 14 - 42 mm Olympus lens [lens kit only] lithium-ion rechargeable BLM-1 battery Battery charger Body cap Eyepiece cover Shoulder strap USB cable Video cable CD-ROM featuring Olympus Master 147 page camera manual (printed)
If you purchase the E-520 lens kit, then you'll get Olympus' fairly new 14 - 42 mm lens. On the E-520 (and all other FourThirds cameras), that's equivalent to 28 - 84 mm. This is a pretty nice lens, as kit lenses go, with good sharpness and decent...
