The new Olympus E-520 digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera delivers brilliant images thanks to advanced technologies that help take the blur out. Industry leading Image Stabilization built into the portable camera body compensates for movement so that images are sharp and blur-free with any lens and even at slow shutter speeds. Autofocus Live View brings subjects into sharp focus on the camera’s HyperCrystal II LCD. Together, these technologies produce amazing results, along with the following features that further expand the DSLR experience.

| dpreview | We can certainly still recommend it as a good camera but one that just doesn't distinguish itself enough to receive an unqualified Highly Recommended award (and, given it doesn't offer the E420's convenient size advantage, the case for it to be awarded a Recommended has been made quite strongly). Essentially the problem is that the E-520 offers few major changes over its predecessor (and the optimized output is slightly softer), but is trying to compete in a sector of the market that has progressed dramatically since the E-510's introduction. This is not to say it's far off the pace - the differences between the strongest and weakest cameras in this class are small - but it does lag the competition and that's why we express reservations. |
| Cnet | As an update to the E-510, the E-520 adds several features that may tempt new buyers, but are probably not enough to encourage existing users to upgrade. It also lags behind other cameras in its class with its small LCD screen. However, the E-520 really beats the competition on weight and portability — an interesting trade-off that will no doubt confuse some users when choosing a dSLR, but enamour others. |
| photoreview | An affordable, compact DSLR camera with built-in image stabilisation and live view support.Like the recently-released E-420, the new Olympus E-520 is an update of a previous model and doesn't introduce any radically new features or functions. The tenth Olympus DSLR and the third in the 500 series, it has the same 10-megapixel imager as the E-510 with a few tweaks to the stabilisation and autofocus systems to improve handling and performance. Like its predecessor, the E-520 is targeted at photo enthusiasts |
