My most expensive and least used camera. The 3 point AF really tries my patience as does the dim opti-viewfinder LED info - with weird side mount . Manual focussing is unnecessarily fine threaded and has no turn fast - jumping. Unlike many previous Olympus there is no TIFF format - an easy way to export usable RAW directly without needing to "develop" in the workflow software. No date stamp option. Pity the 4-3 lens was discontinued corner to corner sharpness Is very good. Ended up getting Pentax Kr after 7 years. Thanks Carmine for your review.
Love these 4/3rds cameras. I shoot E-1, E-20, E-300, E-400s and E500s. Beautiful images regardless of pixel resolution. Fun to shoot but remember to treat it like film with the small buffer and slow write speeds. Like photography used to be before silly frames per second with autofocus and AI that make the brain behind the camera almost redundant!
Agreed, you don't need more than 8-10MP for anything, if you want to print big you can use software to upscale them to whatever size and prints will look awesome.
Love these reviews of Yesteryear Gems, I have a bunch of old digital cameras that I still use and results and great.. there's a lot to be said for sticking with the same camera for years, knowing it's capabilities inside and out, and trusting in your mastery of it.. I have an E-520 and for an old CMOS colors are vivid and fantastic and it's not bad at all in low light, I manual focus anyway, tks. Carmine.
Just picked up a E.520 two lens kit plus a 35mm macro with 252 clicks on the shutter for $106 shipped. The pictures are beautiful. Thanks Carmine for the video about this camera. One last thing any chance on doing a video with regards to processing images? Very curious about the software you suggest etc…
Panasonic LiveMOS. I have old Kodak and even Olympus with CCDs and the saturation is much richer without the "whiteness " you get these days with CMOS. Probably from the noise.

Hey buddy, I’ve been going back in time as well. Just picked up the d200. Can’t wait to start using it.
Nikon D200 was one of my first cameras and I loved it 😍 ❤️
It was a groundbreaking camera in 2008 with IBIS, in body image stabilization.

The E520 is my pride and joy..great news that you bought one at a great price too 👍
Great video !!!! Does this camera have a Kodak CCD sensor ?
I believe it's CMOS but colors are just as nice as the CCD, Olympus paid a lot of attention to color science.

does it make the film-like pictures?
Yes it does :)
