Oylmpus E-520 DSLR Announced

Olympus will be replacing its E-510 DSLR with the announced E-520, featuring a rather familiar functionality compared to the E-420 although being newer, it does come with a number of extras such as sensor-shift stabilization, a larger continuous-shooting buffer and a deeper grip. It will have the same sensor as the E-3, and all indications so far point toward a similar viewfinder and LCD as its predecessor. Face detection has also been thrown into the fray – now this is not something you see everyday where DSLRs are concerned. Wireless flash and tonal-range correcting Shadow Adjustment technology rounds off the list of features. The Olympus E-520 will begin to ship this July, where its body along will cost $599.99 while the full kit with an ED 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens (24-to-48mm equivalent) is tipped to retail for $699.99.
