  • Abstract:  Users stepping up to the DSLR for the first time will appreciate the ease of use that seems more appropriate to a point-and-shoot. Thanks to image stabilization, a sharp 2.5-inch LCD, and a dust reduction system, you’ll spend less time dealing with res...

  • If you're ready to replace your stripped-down entry-level DSLR, or taking a step up from the point and shoot world, the Olympus E-520 definitely deserves a hard look. It has all the features of any of its upper entry-level competition, and you just can...

  • Although the Olympus Evolt E-520 made a good first impression with its solid, ergonomic build and intuitive interface, it quickly lost points for its slow speeds and lackluster image quality. Although the Nikon D40’s ($499) interface takes getting u...

  • Built-in image stabilization, Nice, comfortable grip (particularly when compared to the E-420), Compact size, yet full featured, Loads of customization potential (e.g. mirror lock-up, time increments), 11-point contrast-detect autofocus in Live View (b...
  • Shutter lag in Live View can be long, depending on the subject and light level, LCD shows odd metallic-like sheen in bright daylight, can be distracting, 1/180s X-Sync is relatively slow, Phase-detect autofocus only has 3-points, Autofocus and metering...
  • The E-520 is a logical step in the Olympuss digital SLR evolution. With headlining features that include Face Detection, Contrast-Detect AF in Live View, Wireless Remote Flash control, and an increased maximum shooting speed of 3.5 frames per second, ...

  • Even though it has been on the market for six months, the E-520 represents the next generation in Olympus Four Thirds system DSLRs. This member of the family may not stand out from the pack as much as its predecessors, but it still represents a relia...

  • Abstract:  Jaded? Amid all the new DSLRs and jaw-dropping technology, it's easy to feel ho-hum about an Excellent image-quality rating from the Pop Photo Lab, topshelf image stabilization, live view, and a price so friendly it damn near invites you over for drink...

  • While the Olympus E-520 is a solid choice overall, Sony's A350 and the Canon EOS 450D are also worth a look before stumping up the cash. ...
