Product Description
The perfect moment doesnt wait. Thats why serious photographers need serious equipment so that they are ready for whatever comes. With its pro features and top image quality, the new Olympus E-520 D-SLR fits the bill perfectly. The next evolution to the EISA Award-winning E-500 series incorporates a built-in image stabiliser to ensure blur-free shots irrespective of the lens attached - no matter if wide-angle or ultra-tele and without the need for a tripod. Matched with the Supersonic Wave Filter dust protection system and improved Live View capabilities, the freedom to frame and take great, crystal-clear photos is virtually limitless. Based upon the forward-looking designed for digital Four Thirds Standard, the 10.0 Megapixel E-520 with Live View ensures uncompromising D-SLR quality.

Olympus E-520 DSLR with ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 & ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6 lensesStraight out of the box this seems a daunting camera to get to grips with - lots of menus etc. and what appears to be a steep learning curve. However, once the battery is charged and you first handle the camera, it becomes fairly intuitive,requiring a bit of exploration followed by taking some initial snaps. Suddenly you are taken by surprise at how efficiently everything works. I couldn't believe how quickly the standard lens finds focus - not in particularly low light, but low enough for a handheld shot, I focused and reframed several times before I realised that it works almost instantly. Shots are clean and of good quality: low light focus can be dealt with manually and the handbook advises this, which I think is a good idea and something a good DSLR should be able to do well. I read innumerable reviews before deciding on this two lens kit and tried a colleagues Nikon D40 which impressed me with it's handling and quality. This is more expensive, but adds value to what the NIkon has to offer. It is smallish without being tiny and has a good weight and balance that makes it comfortable to use. It's not a pro camera, but could easily be used in situations where a bulky camera would be inconvenient, so it is capable of doing the job, in my opinion. It is good for the money (you would have to spend a lot more to get better), with a good range of lenses across the price range. Just to reiterate, it is not a difficult camera to learn to use, it handles well and produces good photographs.
