The Olympus E-520 fits a special niche for me. It�s my favorite camera for outdoor photography, where a smaller, lighter rig means always having the camera with you and getting more photos. I had a lot of cameras available this summer, including some very expensive digital SLRs that deliver noticeably better image quality than the E-520. But the camera I used the most was the E-520. Photography isn�t all about image quality. The bottom line for me is the E-520�s unique balance of size and performance. Nothing packs as well as the E-520 - especially when you consider the compact size and 2x converted focal length of the excellent Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses. I am a huge fan of the 70-300mm ED lens - comparable to a 600mm zoom on a 35mm SLR. Combine the E-520�s minimal size and built-in image stabilization and you�ve got what I believe is one of the best backpacking cameras available.
Who Should Buy It
The Olympus E-520 is an excellent choice for:
* Travel and outdoor photographers who want a light, compact digital SLR system
* Olympus E-System owners who want to upgrade from the E-510 or other older Olympus DSLRs - it�s a worthy upgrade.
* Olympus E-3 owners who want a small, light backup camera.
* First-time digital SLR buyers who want a lot of value for their camera dollar.
This camera is not the best choice for:
* Professional sports photographers or photojournalists for whom speed and accuracy are top priorities.
* Studio and landscape photographers who need maximum resolution, detail, and image quality.
* People who are uncomfortable with small cameras - try it on for size before you buy.
