| Comments | The perfect moment doesn't wait - which is why professional photographers need serious equipment to be ready for whatever comes. With its advanced features and superior quality images, the E-520 from Olympus fits the bill perfectly.
Just like its predecessor, the E-520 includes a built-in stabiliser and a large LCD screen. Its stabiliser guarantees blur-free shots, irrespective of the lens attached, and adapts to shooting conditions, meaning you can take great photos whether you're on the back of a motorbike, out in the hills or indoors.
The Olympus E-520 has the advantage of being equipped with a host of new, state-of-the-art features, giving experienced photographers everything they need to live their passion for photography to the max! These features include an improved Live View mode, an increased field depth, exposure control, white balance and face detection, which make framing and taking crystal-clear photos easy.
Meanwhile, the E-520's burst mode of 3.5 fps and TruePic III image processor mean you won't miss a thing. The E-520 even stores your creations on XD, microdrive or CompactFlash memory cards. |
