 Lame camera, IMHO, January 08, 2015
By John West

It's my fault,
I didn't look carefully enough at what memory cards this thing will accept. It won't accept standard sd cards.
Also, it requires a stupid custom cable for the USB connection.

I forgot this gem- 2012 and still a super camera!, January 24, 2013
By Jeffrey R. Bissell

Really forgot this beauty for shooting a wedding-but try as I might with 3 other slurs-the 520 with the better 14 -54 lens and the 36r flash just would not be denied. I put an umbrella on the stand with with the flash on remote and after setting it up, and shooting several shots to get the right aper. and s speed etc. just shot away. Beautiful Olympus color. None of my slrs match the color and easily shoot portraits as well. It was sooo easy. People were quite impressed with the professional quality-my first real wedding! Wish I could show some shots-the lights being off camera made a real difference! I almost missed what the camera could do-it was born for studio shots and portraits.

It was a good value at the time but won't age well at all, November 20, 2012
By Top Hat

The issue, of course, is micro 4/3rds.
it is a good like 50% smaller than an APS-C sensor. This means noisier images and bad low-light capability.
And low-light is the main differentiator between cameras. Any camera can take good pictures when it's bright and plenty of light.
It was a good deal when I bought it. For $450 I got two lenses. A comparable Nikon or Canon would have cost $500 with just one lens.
and it works well. But I took it on vacation recently and the bulk was unbearable for its power as an imaging device.

Why I bought a used E520 camera body, September 20, 2012
By unclemark
|

I already had an Olympus E520 with several lenses and other accessories. I took a spill while trying to get a shot of a bird up in a tree... and broke the hot shoe mount for the flash. Rather than pay more than twice as much for the (out of stock) E620... I replaced a damaged E520 body with one in very good condition. I'm not interested in "video" capability and a repair would've 1) left me without a camera for an unspecified period and 2) probably would've cost about the same as just doing the replacement.
