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. Weight - 475 grams (body only) Requires use of an Olympus Zuiko lens or compatible for use of camera

This camera is my first DSLR and I am satisfied. A couple of draw backs though and they are a weak flash if subject is more than 15 feet away and the auto focus is terrible if the lighting is not great.

When I decided to purchase an entry level DSLR, I decided upon the Olympus E520 over the Canon Rebel XSi and Nikon D40,D60,D80.

The price was great for such a feature packed product, and I really liked the layout of all the information. Olympus gives you 3 ways to access all the essentials (ISO, White Balance, Auto/Manual Focus mode, etc) and much more (Saturation, Sharpness, Face Detection, etc.)

Gordon Laing from Cameralabs.com does a great review at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEcJsksxsOo

All in all, it's a great camera and I'm happy with all my results so far.

My camera's Compact Flash drive slot came damaged. Almost half the pins are bent, thus the camera's ability to not read a CF memory card. Very disappointed in this "new" item arriving damaged.

When you have superzoom cams like the Panaonic FZ-28 with a zoom from 28-476mm for only $262 why would you go with a DSLR that will become obselete in a year?

I have a system film Nikon but in the flux of e cameras it seems to be almost a throw away to me.

Having said that I love Olympus products..............
