I started my DSLR experience with the E-510, while this was a quirky little camera that needed cajoling to perform well, the E-520 is nothing like that. After a year with the E-510, I ended up replacing it with the E-520 and what an improvement this camera is! from Amazon.com I have been an Olympus Camera user since I bought my OM-1 over 30 years ago. My first digital camera was the C-3030 camera which provided great use for over 8 years while living aboard my sailboat in the Caribbean. from Amazon.com I absolutely love the E-520. I have bought five lenses for it so far; my favorite for sharpness is the 50mm f/2 prime lens, but for extra wide, I like the 9-18mm. from Amazon.com I use a Canon Rebel XSI at work. I bought the E520 for my personal use. 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 I purchased this camera as a (potential) upgrade for my older Olympus 8080. Now that I have had a couple of rounds with this camera, I am glad that I did. 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 These are great if you're not comfortable with shooting in manual mode yet. That said, I've noticed that many point and shoot cameras have more modes. For example, a friend has a different Olympus model (point and shoot) that has a food mode. Given I am a food blogger it's one setting I WISH I had. from Amazon.com It allows me to get a little closer to that hummingbird or butterfly! I also have to mention the fantastic customer service I received recently. Olympus truly cares about their customers and it shows. They're knowledgeable about their product and remained on the phone with me for nearly an hour assisting me with my issue. 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
