Having had an Oly early point and shoot I was familiar with the Oly menu system. A
good and competent user out of the box. With the FL-36R flash in radio mode and
a simple diffuser does remarkable flash photography. Have shot with a Nikon 8400,
so comaparitively, the menu system is just as easy. Image stabilization works well.
To shoot in low like with ISO over 400 you have to like grain.
All in all, pleased with the camera.
Problems:
Three annoyances that I have found in the last year.
1. The battery indicator shows green until it is red, and then you had better
switch out the battery quick! Other Olys had a graduated battery life indicator,
why this one has only a 2 stage is beyond me.
2. If you can make new file folders to segregate your shots I have not figured
that out.
3. Bought the flange to attatch my OM lenses. I was hoping to use the 50 f1.8
but it is so fuzzy in the 520 as to be useless. Didn't realize just how optimized to
digital the 4/3 lenses are.
