Olympus E520


Our review of the Olympus E-520 has been completed using a production-level camera. Thank you for your patience!

The E-520 ($599, body only) is the follow-up to Olympus' popular EVOLT E-510 digital SLR, which was introduced in March of 2007. The E-510 featured a 10 Megapixel CCD, sensor-shift image stabilization, dust reduction, full manual controls, and live view on its 2.5" LCD.

What's new on the E-520? Pretty much the same stuff that you'll find on its sibling, the E-420. Those items include:

  • Larger, 2.7" LCD display (versus 2.5")
  • Contrast detect autofocus (with select lenses) and face detection with live view
  • Faster continuous shooting speeds (3.5 vs 3.0 fps)
  • New vertical and horizontal panning IS modes
  • Shadow Adjustment Technology brightens dark areas of your photos
  • Perfect Shot Preview lets you see the effects of exposure compensation and white balance settings on your subject before you take a photo
  • Built-in wireless flash control
