Comments about Olympus Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera Body with 14-42mm Zoom Lens & 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens - Refurbished by Olympus:

I originally preferred another brand, but the price and two lens kit got my attention. Realizing I probably traded some quality for price, this camera is, in my opinion, a great first camera and I am really enjoying using it. Based on my initial use, I will probably make Olympus my first consideration when I purchase another camera and pass this one to my children.

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera Body with 14-42mm Zoom Lens & 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens - Refurbished by Olympus:

I upgraded to the 520 from the 500 because I wanted image stabilazation (my hands are a little shakey in low light conditions). The 520 has been great at taking the pictures I want it to thus far. I do a lot of urban exploring. The refurb is worth the discount, although it comes in (an Olympus) refurbished box. I was expecting it to come in the normal 520 box, but all the goods are there, so unless your extremely particular about the packaging there's not much noticiable difference. It works great, but the original box might have been nice if I ever have to sell it (which I'm not planning to do anytime soon).

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera Body with 14-42mm Zoom Lens & 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens - Refurbished by Olympus:

This is a very good unit. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I have taken over 1K shots with it and am very pleased. The live view is nice, but I find I seldom use it. The only real con I see is that photo info is listed down the right side of the screen as opposed to the bottome. The lenses are excellent. I think the 4/3 standard is here to stay. The refurb is like new and no complaints about that.
