Advantages: top-notch image quality; professional body; very low noise even at high ISOs.

Disadvantages: none

Olympus E-520 dSLR, the replacement for the E-510 and step-up model from its E-420. The feature set is very similar to the E-420, but for the extra dough you do get some significant capabilities, such as sensor-shift stabilization (including an updated system with a mode that accommodates panning while vertically oriented), a larger continuous-shooting buffer and a deeper grip. Like the E-420, the E-520 incorporates the same sensor as in the higher-end ...
