Olympus E-520
10.0 megapixels | 2.7" screen | Four Thirds sensor
<P>Refresh to the E-510 improves autofocus in live view mode and throws in a handful of minor enhancements. With a superb feature set (including in-body image stabilization) and customization options that set it apart from most of its competitors the E-520 looks very competitive on paper, but the viewfinder and image quality (particularly in challenging shooting conditions) are far from class-leading and taken as a whole the camera struggles to stand out from the crowd. Recent price cuts have made the E-520 seem a lot more attractive, and the results in good light are impressive at normal print sizes, with pleasing color and very well optimised JPEGs - and an excellent kit lens.</P></p>

The Olympus E-520 is a solid, full-featured digital SLR and an excellent value. For around $600 you get a camera that has features for both beginners and enthusiasts, good photo quality (in most situations), image stabilization, and responsive performance -- plus one of the better kit lenses on the market. The E-520 does have its flaws, though, including soft images, high ISO performance that's just fair, and the tendency to clip highlights. However, these issues shouldn't be much of a problem for the typical entry-level D-SLR buyer. While I'm not jumping up and down about it, the E-520 is still good enough to earn my recommendation.

The Olympus E-520 is the successor to one of the most popular DSLRs of the past year. With the earlier E-510, Olympus packed 10 Megapixel resolution, image stabilisation, live view, effective anti-dust and a broad array of controls and customisation into a compact, affordable body; the kit lens was pretty good too. Subsequent discounting saw the E-510 with a decent twin lens bundle fall to the price of many rivals with only one lens, and become a justified best-seller.
