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 the  TruePic III image processor.

PhotographyBLOG’s comments:
 So, is the Olympus E-520 the perfect camera then? Well, not quite. The viewfinder – an important part of any SLR – 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 – 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.

PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW (aka mju 1030 SW) digital camera. The camera is shock and water resistant. It comes with a 10 Megapixel sensor, and the TruePic III image processor. It offers 3.6x optical zoom, 5x digital zoom, 1600ISO and a 2.7-inch display.

PhotographyBLOG’s conclusion:

Even though it’s boxy and business like in design, the mju 1030 SW is not unattractive. Also in its favour, this is a camera that is fast in operation and as easy to use as it is sturdy – as it should be if you’re hurtling down the slopes with it or diving into the pool at the villa. The negatives are those unimpressive (at this price point) plastic controls at the rear, and an image performance that is just above average, though the shadow adjustment is a nice touch that provides better results with minimum fuss.
