Olympus E-520 DSLR

Here is a review on the Olympus E-520 Digital SLR camera from PhotogrphyBLOG. Olympus E-520 is a FourThirds system DLSR with a 10 Megapixel Live CMOS sensor and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. It features sensor-shift image stabilization, dust reduction system, Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment and theÂ TruePic III image processor.

PhotographyBLOG’s comments:

Â So, is the Olympus E-520 the perfect camera then? Well, not quite. The viewfinder â€“ an important part of any SLR â€“ is just as small as the one built into the E-510. I am pretty sure Olympus could have upped its magnification by sacrificing some brightness, but they have chosen not to. Similarly, they could have put a more versatile auto-focus system into the camera â€“ the current system is fine as regards its speed and reliability, but it could use a couple more AF sensors, preferably of the cross type.

I personally enjoyed using the E-520 very much, and doubt it would disappoint anybody who decides to buy one after careful weighing of its strengths and weaknesses. The Olympus E-520 is a camera that I can recommend to beginners and enthusiasts alike, and I would not be too surprised to see it in the hands of a few pro photographers, either.
