Olympus E-520: Compare prices

By Alexandra Savvides on 01/10/2008

More Olympus reviews , RRP: AU$999.00

The good:

  • Incredibly lightweight for a dSLR
  • Image stabilisation built into camera body
  • Wide range of lenses supported

The bad:

  • Some menu functions take getting used to
  • Small viewfinder
  • Slow, slow, slow autofocus

The bottomline:

The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.
