I first bought one of these about 2 1/2 yearsa ago - my first venture into DSLR. Why Olympus? Brand loyalty I guess, having had a number of their cameras over the years and always having been satisfied with them. Researcehd their product range and settled on the E520 as the package on offer seemed exceptional value. I was staggered by the quality of photos that an amateur could produce just on auto setting with the 2 Zuiko kit lenses. Whilst on holiday this year, I was caught in a fierce downpour and despite protecting the camera it sustained unrepatrable water damage. Although I wasn't able to buy a new one as Olympus seem to have left this segment of the market, I did pick up a very good quality used one through ebay and am now happily back taking photos again. Never occured to me not to replace on a like for like basis or try one of the other brands - still have so much to learn with this one. A really good, simple to use, light camera with the opportunity to attach varying lenses - and it has image stabilisation! Not only a great camera to learn on but also one to keep as you become more expert.Read full review
