This is a GREAT camera

I used an Olympus E-500 for several years that was a great camera. This e-520 with the image stableization, and live view, and larger view screen is a much better camera. I take a lot of photos in the wildwith the Boy Scouts and a lot of publicity photos at work at one of the world largest international airports. I also take lots of family and pet photos. This camera is at home in all these roles. You can't go wrong buying this camera and getting a Great deal from Adorama.

Great Stuff.

It is a great camera in the price range and gives me everything I would expect. It has a tendency to have noise issues when it get hot. The menu is easy to use and everything you need is right on the screen, no menu hunting that causes you to miss the shot. Light, and fast. Just throw it over your shoulder and have a good time!

Best buy for a dslr with kit lenses!

I bought a E-Volt 500 from Adorama and absolutely love the quality of the photos. But this E-520 from Olympus with its anti-shake beats anything out there for the price. Cannon's anti-shake gets expensive with its lenses and their sensor cleaner is a sick copy of the Olympus. I get no dust on my photos. None. And I use the camera in dusty conditions all the time. I bought the remote, which is very easy to use and a great buy. I also bought Olympus' 70-300mm telephoto lens. Absolutely a fantastic lens. The only cameras that come close to the photo quality, while costing a lot more, are the Cannon Rebel XT-i, and the Nikon D60. But Olympus' camera with its kit lenses way out do the others for price and quality for the money.It is slow in low light like some have said, but if you spend time getting to know the camera, you will get great shots. I just bump my f-stop up one notch. At 800, I get very little graininess. If you use Ifraw, with IrfanView you can smooth it out extremely well. Both are free photo programs. I use these along with Gimp (free as well) and can do everything Photoshop does. Cannon does a better job in low light, but again for the money and the lenses you get in the kit. Hands down it beats Cannon.You get better photo quality by using the largest JPG mode, but if you adjust your RAW to Vivid and bump the sharpness up one notch, you get great results every time. I often shoot in duel mode using both JPG and RAW, so I do not have to take the extra step of converting over any photos I keep[...]

Excellent!!

I'm a photo hobbyist, and I live in the Eastern Sierra of California...home to the likes of Galen Rowell and Ansel Adams. Photographers from around the world vacation in my home, so I am up against some pretty stiff competition to get something "new" with my camera. I take a TONE of wildlife photos...mainly snakes and reptiles, but I also enjoy wildflowers and landscapes. This camera does it all! Of course, as a single father to a 5 year old daughter...I certainly take my fair share of portraits, too, and this camera excels at every aspect.

Great product for a great price

I use this camera for my photography business, so naturally I find myself in many different locations with many different surroundings. This camera provides me with the necessary options for all of these situations and the picture quality is always fantastic. I couldn't have been happier with Adorama's service as well. All in all - 2 thumbs up!

I've loved Olympus since the OM-1

I love the size and ease of use of this camera. I use the e-510 and bought this e-520 for my teenage daughter. She loves it. The learning curve isn't long and the results of the photos are second to none.

The Olympus E-520 is a 10.0 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera with 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD Screen and 14-42mm Lens. The E-520's industry-leading Image Stabilization technology, which is built into the camera body, compensates for movement so you can capture blur-free shots with any lens even at slow shutter speeds. Autofocus Live View brings subjects into sharp focus; it is the perfect tool for macro, portrait or even landscape shooting. This camera was built to produce amazing results for photo hobbyists and serious digital photographers alike.

The 14-42mm standard zoom lens is the smallest and lightest in its class and features a closest focusing distance of only 25cm. The ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two aspherical lens elements correct aberrations without increasing lens dimensions. The circular aperture diaphragm enables beautiful defocusing - one of the big advantages of this lens

Olympus E-520 DSLR Camera Body with 14-42mm Lens Features

  • In-Body Image Stabilization is a state-of-the-art technology, preventing camera shake for blur free photography
  • On-screen Autofocus with Live View works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects, in focus, on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way
  • Shadow Adjustment Technology captures detail in the bright areas of a frame and opens up detail in the shadows that other cameras would render too dark or underexposed
  • Face Detection Technology targets and locks on up to eight faces to ensure accurate focus for crystal clear, amazing portraits. The LCD shows the faces detected for ease of use
  • The powerful 10-megapixel Live-MOS sensor means you'll see more detail in your pictures than ever before. And you'll have the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed prints
  • The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-520, the Supersonic Wave Filter
  • The E-520's 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD delivers twice the contrast and better viewing in extreme lighting conditions, a broader range of color detail and a wider angle of view on the LCD
  • With 20 easy-to-use Scene-Select Modes you can simply select the right mode for your shot; the E-520 takes care of the rest. The 20 modes cover practically every common shooting scenario including Portrait, Fireworks, Sports, Landscape, Sunset and many more, even underwater
  • Perfect Shot Preview enables you to view and select your favorite effect right on the LCD and see how the image will look, even before you capture it
  • The E- 520's TruePic III processor gives you better color and quality through true-to-life skin tones, brilliant blue skies, precise color transitions, more detail and less image noise
  • Expand your creative reach with wireless flash compatibility. The E-520 is compatible with the Olympus FL-50R and FL-36R wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for digital photography
  • Accepting CompactFlash Type I & II, Microdrives and xD-Picture Cards, the E-520 provides a choice of data storage options for enhanced flexibility and it is possible to transfer image files from one card to the other right inside the camera
  • Fire off a burst of shots at 3.5 frames per second. The E-520's burst rate is perfect for capturing the ideal shot at a backyard birthday party or at a youth soccer game
  • The E-520's Auto White Balance function analyzes information from the scene and calibrates how a white object should appear under a variety of light sources, so your images turn out vibrant and life like
  • The benefits of the Four Thirds Mount on Olympus E-System cameras are many. You get a digitally designed image sensor, a compact design, as well as expandability and compatibility with the rest of the Four Thirds System
  • Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses provide edge-to-edge pixel-perfect clarity. Unlike film lenses, these advanced, precision-engineered 100-percent digital lenses are designed to work perfectly with all the camera's digital technology
  • Underwater Housing PT-E05 allows you to take the E-520 to depths of 130 feet. The required, optional lens ports allow the use of lenses from the 8mm fisheye through the 50mm macro - as well as flashes - for spectacular underwater photography
