The Olympus E-520 is a solid sub-$700 Four Thirds digital SLR with point-and-shoot appeal. It supplies all the staples of the EVOLT line -- 10 megapixels, Live View, Face Detection -- while integrating a number of features tailored to hands-on shooters. For all intents and purposes, the Olympus E-520 is basically a slightly-larger E-420 with mechanical image stabilization. The additional real estate on the body offers a more formidable grip and comfortable shooting experience, though the added perks come at an extra $100 cost.

The moderately compact, yet highly versatile E-520 carries an exhaustive degree of control and customization potential, and is backed by reliable point-and-shoot defaults.
