My camera’s Compact Flash drive slot came damaged. Almost half the pins are bent, thus the camera’s ability to not read a CF memory card. Very disappointed in this “new” item arriving damaged.

When you have superzoom cams like the Panaonic FZ-28 with a zoom from 28-476mm for only $262 why would you go with a DSLR that will become obselete in a year?
I have a system film Nikon but in the flux of e cameras it seems to be almost a throw away to me.
Having said that I love Olympus products…………..

A GREAT CAMERA FOR THE AMATEUR IF SERIOUS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY, IT HAS AN AWFULLY LOT OF SETTINGS THAT CAN BE USED BUT TAKES A LOT OF STUDYING THE MANUAL TO MASTER ALL OF ITS POTENTIAL.
I HAVE YET TO EXPERIMENT WITH CONTROLLING WHITE BALANCE AND BRACKETING BUT I’M GETTING THERE.
THE PRICE GIVES MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK THAN THE MID-RANGE NIKON OR CANNON.

The Olympus e520 is a good entry-level DSLR with in-body image stabilization, usable live view, and many other nice features. While made in China, it has a metal lens mount, and I was impressed by its overall construction. I wish I could say the same about the bundled kit lens, which is a cheap 14-42mm zoom with a plastic mount. I’m a semi-pro aviation photographer. I got acceptable results on the ground, but noticed a slight but definite blurriness in the air, despite using the image stabilizer. Ordered the companion 40-150 mm zoom separately and when that arrived, discovered that it would not deliver consistently sharp focus at infinity and max zoom, regardless of camera settings, due to motion of the lens end, also noticed the same in the 14-42 mm lens. This is unnaceptable for me. I returned the camera and both lenses for a full refund. Amazon’s service was excellent, and the camera is good, but the lenses are terrible.
