The third camera in the Olympus E-500 series, the E-520 comes hot on the heels of the recently launched and updated E-420. Like its predecessor, the E-520 is incredibly small and lightweight and offers a clear choice for those wanting a tiny D-SLR. The...

While we were reviewing this camera, we couldn’t get past just how similar it is to the E-420. Yet when it comes down to price, it costs around £140 extra. In terms of extra features included for the price hike, the E-520 offers in-camera stabilisatio...

This 10 megapixel camera has a Four Thirds sensor as used also by Panasonic/Leica. The sensor is smaller in area than the conventional APS sized unit used by other makers. It has an aspect ratio of 4:3 rather than 3:2. Olympus have been refining “live...

There is nothing cut-down about this camera. It has all the functions a serious photographer expects, in a small and light system of body and lenses. Focus, exposure and white balance are good. Ergonomics – the placing of external controls around th...
The lenses are optically very good for the price but they are mechanically a tad rough. The zoom is stiff and gritty but the manual focus is smooth and well damped. The dynamic range is restricted compared with the competition and the viewfinder is sma...
This two lens kit is excellent value for the traveller because it is so light and compact. Having spent a couple of days walking around with the full kit in a small bag it was a shock to the system to come back to the heavy Nikon and Canon DSLRs. Do th...

The Olympus E-520 is a lightweight 10 Megapixel DSLR with built-in Image Stabilisation and Live View facilities. Announced in May 2008, it’s the successor to one of the best-selling models of last year, the popular E-510. With the earlier E-510, Oly...

Built-in stabilisation which works with any lens, Very effective anti-dust system, Live View with contrast AF and face detection, Quick handling and broad customisation.
Smaller viewfinder than rivals, Cant see stabilisation in optical viewfinder, Relatively basic 3-point AF system, Screen doesnt flip-out.
With the E-520, Olympus has added a broad array of enhancements to what was already a feature-packed camera. So on top of a DSLR which offered built-in stabilisation, live view and effective anti-dust, you now also get faster continuous shooting, a sl...
