I use a Canon Rebel XSI at work. I bought the E520 for my personal use. It's a great camera at a much better price. from Amazon.com i bought the camera as a back up to the E-1, although the E-1 is built much stronger, the e-520 performs wonderfully. I will buy an E-3 eventually, but this will definitely help out in the interim . from Amazon.com This is my first DSLR and I picked the E520 over Nikon and Canon models because it does everything and more at a much lower price. Camera works great and pictures are fantastic. from Amazon.com I bought this camera in February for my photography class. I'm a returning college student and had an Canon XTI. I just wanted something that offered a little more bang for the buck and did I ever get that. This little dynamo is packed with so many features that it seems to be a smaller version of it's big brothers the E-3 and E-30. from Amazon.com After extensive research of beginning level DSLRs and finally waffling between the Canon eos Rebel XSi and the Olympus e520, I picked the Olympus for my first DSLR. I am extremely pleased. from Amazon.com I bought the e-520 for one simple reason... it has several mitigating features that allow for an overall system price break while still giving pretty good quality images. from Amazon.com First, it is my opinion that the Olympus e520 is absolutely the best DSLR camera you will find in its price class. Sure, there are more expensive models from other brands that are better. from Amazon.com The Olympus e520 is a good entry-level DSLR with in-body image stabilization, usable live view, and many other nice features. While made in China, it has a metal lens mount, and I was impressed by its overall construction. from Amazon.com Over the months I reviewed numerous camera's before purchasing the Olympus E-520 w/14-42 lens. I looked at Nikon, Cannon, Pentax, Sony and the normal brand name camera's. from Amazon.com i read countless reviews in PC Photo and other photography magazines before deciding to purchase the e-520. the most common complaint was confusing menus, which have never been a problem for me. from Amazon.com
