Olympus E-520 Review
Olympus has launched the E-520, an update of its E-510 DSLR. The E-520 represents continuity, rather than revolution within the E-System camp. This process of orderly transistion sees the arrival of contrast detection AF at the E-5XX level of camera. This feature does not represent all the camera’s new talents, however, with a larger LCD and Face Detection doing their utmost to add buyer appeal.
Wireless flash and Shadow Adjustment Technology (Automatic Gradation), also make their way down from the E-3. Like the recent E-420, the buttons on the E-520 have been re-colored to make the camera easier to use by people with certain types of color-blindness. Olympus also says the dynamic range of the E-520 has increased, compared to its predecessor, and is now close to the level of the E-3.
Further enhancing shooting opportunities, a special underwater case will also become available for the E-520. Waterproof to a depth of up to 40m, it opens up an entirely new realm of creative photography.
Satisfying demands for pro results and remaining surprisingly compact, the Olympus E-520 makes sure every photo comes out razor-sharp thanks to its built-in image stabiliser. It will go on sale from June 2008.
