Playing with Olympus E-520

Olympus E-520 is a really neat little dSLR. It is all plastic, but does not feel flimsy. In addition, Olympus has great menu structure. It is easy to navigate, contrary to the most of the reviews that I have read. It does have highlight clipping problem, but it is still manageable. I would readily carry this camera with me over my bulky Canon 7D. Oly’s image quality is not as high, but it is good enough when you choose between convenience and quality.

Pretty good performance, RAW supports and all bells and whistles possible in a dSLR at a price point and convenience of a prosumer Point and Shoot. Here is a couple of shots made with this camera.  Judge for yourself:


Outdoors, low light, on-camera flash
