Olympus E-520 review

By Joanne Carter (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Olympus E-520 is the replacement for the maker's popular mid-range E-510 DSLR camera.

While the Olympus E-520 is a solid choice overall, Sony's A350 and the Canon EOS 450D are also worth a look before stumping up the cash.

Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Review

By (ephotozine.com)

Olympus E-520

By BobTech (reviewcentre.com)

Olympus E-520 Review - If you're looking for a DSLR with image stabilisation which works with any lens you put on it, which has excellent kit lenses and which gives you a lot of performance for a very good price, the E-520 might just be the camera you're...

It's got excellent ergonomics (how it fits in your hand, the location and operation of the controls, etc.) There's a bit of a learning curve involved in understanding how to drive it, mainly because it can be customised in so many ways. Once you get past...

Live View. It's very handy for getting manual focus exactly right, but it's not a good mode to operate the camera in. The Live View autofocus is woefully slow even in sunlight and it gets even worse as the light level drops. If you're thinking of upgradin...
