Olympus E520
When you have broken through and no longer using your training wheels, you will wish to find a good mid-level camera that can still help you when you need help, but powerful enough to shoot all kinds of subject matter. The Olympus E520 could be the camera for you! Easy to use, but packed with powerful features, you'll be escalating up the ladder to professional in no time!
Technologically savvy, this little gem of a camera is a great buy. You have features that allow for all kinds of adjustments on the way to final print, as well as manual controls for an even more powerful image. The Olympus E520 comes with the Image Stabilization feature, for instance, that has three modes to heighten your own abilities. Images will stay sharp and clear with the IS-1 mode as it compensates movement on the X and Y axes so slow shutter speeds won't be a hindrance. IS-2 and IS-3 modes work with mechanical stabilization. IS-2 will allow you to catch fast moving objects such as racecars in motion, or athletes on the field with concise detail. Be a drama king or queen and pan the camera horizontally to catch every living moment! Are you at a game or a meet and trying to capture those great plays? The IS-3 will allow you to pan for the action shots here, too, and will give you precisely rendered athletes and a blurred background to further heighten the drama between motion and stillness.
Are you still worried about focusing the camera correctly? You needn't worry about that, either. There is Autofocus (AF) with Live View available for usage. As you point to shoot your subject matter, and even as you depress the shutter release halfway down, you will see on your 2.5" LCD display an image of what you have in your frame. As the image is acquired, it works with eleven AF points to assure perfect focus in your photograph when using the Zuiko Digital lenses that are compatible with the feature. Otherwise the Hybrid mode will work just fine for you. When you pre-select your subject matter, you can actually have faster shutter speeds with the AF modes.
Previewing is a really good thing to have, don't you agree? Well, it doesn't end with the AF feature; you actually view any adjustments you make along the way. Using any shooting mode, you can watch your adjustments to exposure, white balance and scene mode before saving the image to memory. You will also be able to see that there is no longer any dust on your images, this is brought to you by the Supersonic Wave Filter feature. It will blast out any dust into a collector within the camera. Scene mode will give you a choice of twenty available scenes to select. Once selected, the Olympus E520 will automatically adjust the settings for that particular scene. The images, when completed, can be save in raw or jpeg formats.
The features in the Olympus E520 allow for so much freedom, you will be truly amazed! So pack up your camera, hop in the car, and go on that road trip you always wanted to take! No matter what subject you shoot, you will have a piece of art on your hands!
