Olympus EVOLT E-520

By Tim Barribeau (digitalcamerainfo.com)

The EVOLT E-520 is the center of Olympus' three-pronged approach to the digital SLR market. Flanked by the cheaper and more restricted E-420 on one side and the professional-level E-3 on the other, the E-520 is designed to compete with most entry-level SL...

- Solid comfortable construction - Good color accuracy test results - Auto focus in Live View mode - Large number of image presets - High level of control and customizability for advanced users

- Very poor white balance scores - Noisy images - Live View auto focus problematic and slow - Proprietary port instead of standard USB and AV

The E-520 is a camera that manages to package a significant number of excellent features and solid controls into a great body, but really let itself down in our performance testing. There's one of the best Live View modes on the market (with auto focus),

Olympus E-520 review

By Joanne Carter (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Olympus E-520 is the replacement for the maker's popular mid-range E-510 DSLR camera.

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.

Review based on E-520

By ouzegba (ciao.com)

The Olympus E-520 is a refreshed version of Olympus's upper-entry-level camera, the E-510. As such it's a slightly bulked-up E-420 with image stabilization, which makes it one of the most feature-packed and customizable cameras available for under $500. I...
