Customer Review : Does not fit E-620: I bought one of these Ggs Lcd screen protectors for my Olympus E-520 through Amazon from "xpit". The build and optic potential appear very good to excellent. When installed, the it protects well and hardly changes color or glow at all. It in effect appears to heighten the sharpness of the image on the Lcd a little.

My only quibble is that the model I received was marked for "E-620", and as such, the dimensions are very slightly off, so the fit was not as exact as I would like, though in effect fine. I had to install the protector so that the lettering on the frame is upside down (and at top instead of lowest of screen), also. Still, not something I in effect care much about, and it does not influence the performance of the stock at all. Just beware that Ggs makes a great many (and constantly changing) models of this protector, and all 2.5"/2.7"/3.0" Lcds are not Exactly the same, with slight variance in dimension and aspect ratio.

Recommended, especially over the film-type of protector, or other models which stick directly to the Lcd exterior (the Ggs type sits over the exterior just slightly, and adheres to the edges/frame), and a very good value at $9.65 shipped.

Olympus E-520 review

Full review at: www.cameralabs.com : A ten minute video tour around the feature-packed Olympus E-520 DSLR, by Gordon Laing, Editor of www ...

What would be a good camera lense for the Olympus e-520 ?

I just bought an olympus camera, and the lense is a Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6. I hate the lense because the manual focus on it doesn't really do much justice or capture very well. I was wondering what would be a decent and in-expensive lense for this camera, with good manual focus and captures more crisp pictures.


Oy...

Olympus was not a good choice in terms of extensibility of the camera through add-ons.

The cameras that have the most available and least expensive quality lenses available (new or used) are
#1) Canon (450D/XSi, 400D/XTi)
#2) Nikon (D40, D90)

I would take a look at this lens - but it might not be more crisp or easier to focus... just more versatile in terms of focal ranges.
Olympus ED 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 Zuiko Zoom Lens
Review here:
http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Olympus-Zuiko-ED-18-180mm-f35-63

18-180mm covers a very wide focal range for most purposes.

If however you are looking at getting into studio-set, controlled lighting, portrait or product photography... I would look at:
Olympus E 50mm f/2.0 Zuiko Macro Lens 1:2
Review here:
http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Olympus-Zuiko-ED-50mm-f2-Macro

The 50mm lens will not have any zoom capabilities (you will have to actually move closer or farther away, physically) but will be very crisp.

If budget is no problem, I would get this:
Olympus ED 35-100mm f/2.0 Zuiko Zoom Lens (over $2000)
Review here:
http://www.popphoto.com/lensreview/olympus-35-100mm_f2.0_pro_ed.html


It is the only standard zoom lens for that camera. That is an excellent lens and should be providing you with very crisp photos. What happens when you use the auto-focus feature? Have you adjusted the diopter on the viewfinder? Did you know that Olympus is one the leaders in optics (including microscopes and industrial lenses)?

There is another standard, lens ... sort of, but not as long as the one you have. The 14-35 mm f/2.0, but it will cost you ... $1,850 vs, $230 for your current 14-42 mm lens

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/lens/dea/products/lens/14_35_20/index.asp

The next lens to buy depends upon that images you tend to shoot. You will want an extreme wide angle zoom if you shoot landscapes, interiors or architectural shots. You will want a medium to long telephoto zoom if you tend to shoot wildlife or sports.

Here is the link to the Olympus lenses.

http://www.olympusamerica.com/e3/lenses.asp


Olympus has excellent glass.
Don't listen to others that say they don't.
You can upgrade to the 14-54mm The newer version is coming out soon so prices on the older one will drop.
The 40-150 is a good non pro telephoto lens.
The 70-300mm lens is good for outdoors.

The lens you have is good, its just that the camera has a small viewfinder and makes it hard to focus manually.

I shoot Olympus and just bought this camera for my father.
My Olympus gear:
E-500
E-3
14-54mm
50-200mm
50mm macro (Great portrait lens too) really sharp.
You bought an excellent camera kit

Should I buy the Canon xsi (450d), Nikon d80, or an Olympus e-520 ?

Also, should I get a kit lens with whichever I buy, or a 50 mm prime lens ? I don't currently have ANY lenses or Dslr/Slr cameras. My camera is a canon powershot a560.


When it comes to DSLR I would go for Canon or Nikon and not Olympus. They have simply more lenses and other accessories to choose from.
Canon has sold a huge number of cameras the last two years and I heard that they are having quality problems now.

Personally I own a Nikon that I am very satisfied with. My friends all have Canons that work well too.

Since Canon and Nikon both make quite good pictures my advice is to go to a camera store and try them. Do you feel comfortable with the controls? Is the camera's menu structure logical? and so on.

When it comes to lenses you are probably best off with the nikon 18-135 kit since this lens is very versatile to use. If you want to invest some money into a real good lens you should consider this one: Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED (unfortunately in the 1600$ range).


Cheers,

Chris


nikon is the best hands down


Nikon D80


All three have their strengths and weaknesses, but they all take excellent pictures. I looked over several Nikon and Canon models before deciding on the Canon XSi. Comparing that to the D80:
XSi advantages: Live mode (very useful for macro shots)
Faster, more intuitive controls (my opinion, YMMV)
14-bit raw (vs 12 bit)
Slightly faster continuous shooting.
Less noise at high ISO (according to reviews)
Better software bundle, especially for raw processing.
Active dust removal.
Newer design.
Also, 12MP vs 10, and 3" vs 2.5" LCD (not a factor in my decision)
D80 advantages:
Better viewfinder (slightly brighter)
+/- 5 EV exposure compensation (vs +/- 2)
Higher max ISO (3200 vs 1600)
wireless flash control
in-camera image processing (not sure why I'd want this)
Camera-top display

Get the kit lens (zoom) if that's going to be your only lens for a while. The 50mm primes are beautiful and fast, but the zooms are much more flexible. You can pick up a 50mm f:1.8 for not a lot.


I'd go with the D80 and the Nikkor 18-135 lens. Great starter outfit.


Hands down, definitely go with the D80. It outruns all of those other cameras.

Does the Olympus Evolt E-520 Digital SLR Camera have video capture?

I got the camera for christmas and still don't know everything about it.
So, I'm really curious to know if it can take videos and how to do it.


No, like most Digital SLR's it DOES NOT have video capture. But hang on to the camera and learn the still photography techniques. Recently, DSLR manufacturers have started adding this feature to some models and I believe that it will become more common on the next "round" of camera models. So there will probably be a newer model soon that will be able to use the Olympus lenses and record video.


Keep in mind that, because of the larger sensor size in DLSR cameras they will need very large memory capacity to shoot video.


you'd do better if you took a few photography classes and picked up some text on this subject. welcome to the can

i have a dell destop dimension e-520 which has vista os. now i would like to install windows xp?

How do i install windows xp simultaneously, whenever i try to install i get blue error messages on the screen give me a solution.Do i have to install windows xp first or is it vista moreover this pc doesnot support windows xp pirated version. Is it a must that only original versions should be used or can pirated version s be installed? which antivirus protects my pc best where is it available on the net quote the prices give me options as to what should i buy?


You can install Windows XP along with Windows Vista. The method of having 2 operating systems on one computer is called "Dual Boot". The problem you are most likely having is that you are trying to install it on the same partition. A partition is more or less a section of your hard drive. You need to create a new partition on your hard drive to put Windows XP in so that they don't conflict. Below I have attached a tutorial for installing XP with Windows Vista, it has pictures and is a step by step guide!

And as far as the best anti-virus. I would recommend AVG Antivirus. It is free and provides great protection!! I hope this helps , and good luck!!!

What memory cards are compatible with the Olympus E-520?

this camera...
http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-E520-Digital-Stabilization-14-42mm/dp/B0019FJM9A/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228246275&sr=8-1


The E-520 has Dual Memory Card Slot For Both Compact Flash & xD Memory Cards.

However, the smart money is used to buy CF cards. More robust, available in faster speeds and they cost less per GB than xD cards

out of a olypmus E-500, E-510, and E-520 camera what is the better buy?

Which should I buy?


the E520 is the more recent camera, so all things being equal it should be the better bet. you should get a 500 or 510 for less. so it depends what you are buying for (what role, how long).

it may ship with the series II kit lenses, which are apparently much better than the series one kit lenses, which were (and apparently still are) much better than the kit lenses on all other makes.

but it depends on price.. there were some amazing deals on E510 kits recently sub £300 for the twin lens kit, I'm assuming retailers were dumping stock after the release of the 520.

I don't think there has been a significant step change between the 3 makes of camera.. there's more difference between the 500 and 510 than there is between the 510 and 520

as reagrds to the comment buy Nikon or Canon cos they are originally camera makers.. what deluded crap.. Olympus have been making cameras far longer than Canon. all 3 makes make good cameras. there's good reason to pick any one camera... I don' t think there is a huge amount of practical difference in the quality of the cameras or the features.

FWIW I have a 510 twin lens kits.. smaller, lighter, cheaper better features than the comparable Canon's & Nikon's in my mind, and a dream to use. it was the size and weight, the body IS and reviews + EISA camera award that convinced me. the weight saving comapred to Canon & Nikon is not to be sneered at if you are lugging your camera kit around.. the 4/3rds lens are streets ahead in terms of weight, optically grade for grade I'd say they are better too, certainhly not worse than others (as you would expect from Olympus) Yes if you compare Nikons top rated pro lens against the kit lens the Nikon will win.. but that's not really the point.

I haven't got a clue what Bogart is talkign about =the 500 is better because it doesn't have the LCD live view panel..... Live View is ok for those rare moments when you can't use the viewfinder. I think Ive used Live View mebbe 10 times in the last year

An as to Chas P's comment on battery life...... again I don't understand where is coming from.. Ok so he talks about the 500, I use a 510.... the 510 battery life is rated at 650+ shots, I've never taken anywhere near that many in a day, but I can say I have never had to use the spare battery I carry.

ultimately go and try out the cameras before you buy.. you wont be dissapointed with any of the Olympus cameras

one thign to bear on mind is that the Olympus E system camera accessories (lenses primarily) tend to be a bit more expensive, and other accessories a little more expensive .. its harder to find after market parts that aren't Olympus.. things like flash guns or Metz appaarently do one for less than the Olympus product). so the cost of other bits and pieces you may want to purchase over time may make the Olympus or non Olympus choice a bit harder.

Looking to buying a DSLR. Thinking about the Olympus e-520.?

What's the difference between the e-510 & e-520 DSLR? Is there a better camera for around $500.00?


The difference between the 510 and 520 is kind of minor. Some of the cosmetic factors have been changed, and live view now offers contrast detect auto focus (which could be considered a big deal if you use live view on any kind of a consistent basis. Keep in mind that most people dont). As well, there is one more image stabilization mode, and the internal flash has been upgraded (but only just). I personally own an e-510 (I love it just so you know) and have used the e-520 on several occasions. The differences are slight enough that someone familiar with one can pick up the other and use it with little or no learning curve. I personally find them both to be excellent cameras, but the current low price on the 510 along with the minor differences between the two gives the 510 an edge. My 510 with a 14-42 mm lens cost me just over $400 (less without shipping), compared to the $499 amazon offers the 520 for. That being said,the Nikon d40 is an excellent camera. Its small, affordable, and has a bigger selection of lenses. Canon's rebel series is also very good, and has an even bigger range of lenses than the nikons. In the end, what you want will eventually come down to personal preference. Go to a camera store (a real one, not Best Buy or circuit city) and try out the cameras. Ask the clerks which one they like, and feel the camera in you hand. You need to be happy with your decision, because once you commit to a system, its almost impossible to go back, simply from a price stand point.

Hope this helps!

i have a dell desktop(dimension-E-520) with vista-operating system.i want to install windows-xp-os?

i have a dell desktop(dimension-E-520) with vista-operating system.i want to install windows-xp operating system.how to install windows xp-os.i am an beginner,i dont have any idea about computer.please guide me.


well to start you need a Windows XP CD, and a valid license code.

once you have those.

put the cd in the optical drive and restart.
during start up press F12, and then tell the machine to boot from the optical drive.

follow the on screen prompts.

that should do it really.

nikon D60 or olympus e-520?

the nikon D60 dont have liveview but is that important and will it be tough to shoot pictures fast ? and i've heard that the e-520 has not so good image quality compared to the D60 is that true ?
so which one is better ?


pls help me , been searching for dslr cameras for months but havent decide which one to buy . thanx :)


Olympus is the best value in DSLRs today. Several reviews have mentioned that Olympus offers a better value by packing more features for the same or, in most cases, less than the competition. Olympus has been praised for being easy for beginners while offering the full control and quality that professionals demand. Olympus also makes the smallest and lightest DSLRs on the market today, with the E-420 being the smallest.

Olympus offers picture quality comparable to any other manufacturer out there. It is true that the sensor, the four thirds system, is smaller than other DSLRs. It is also true that this technology was created with cooperation between Olympus and Kodak with support from Sigma, Sanyo, Panasonic, Leica, and Fuji. It’s not just one company, its an industry standard. Olympus also designed its digital Zuicko lenses to be digital from the ground, rather than adapt film lenses for digital use. The end result is a sharp, clear, crisp image with great color quality and clarity. Since Olympus cameras come with many shooting modes and live view, it’s easier to become familiar with the camera and learn the manual controls one by one until you are ready for full manual control.

I have used many different camera brands over the past 30 years, including Nikon, Fuji, Argus, Olympus and even Sanyo among others. I choose Olympus because the cameras are lighter and offer more features than the competition in the same class. On the entry level side, the Olympus E-520 offers many advanced features other entry level cameras, such as the Nikon D60, don’t have. My E-510 came with a nice 14-42mm lens that is the one of, if not the, lightest lens offered with a DSLR kit, and among the fastest to auto focus. The size and weight can become an issue when carrying a camera around all day. Look around Yahoo! Answers and you will find several people who upgraded to DSLR cameras now looking for a quality compact to use as their take along. All cite the size and weight of the DSLR as the main factor.

Since Olympus offers more for less money, you’ll find it easier t get all those extras that go along with a new camera. You can’t forget about the things you need such as memory cards, tripod, carry bag, extra battery, flash, etc. You don’t want to find yourself short, no matter what camera you decide to buy.

When buying a DSLR camera, most come bundled with a lens in a kit. Olympus offers auto focus on all the kit lenses, with the exception being the new prime 25mm lens. Some companies offer only manual focus lenses. It’s not a major issue. After all manual focus lenses tend to be lighter since they have no motor in them. However, many people moving to their first DSLR are looking for those little things that help them out and prefer auto focus lenses, at least to start. This is another reason Olympus is often considered a better buy, giving you more for your money.

Olympus also went with Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body. This makes all lenses IS lenses, others such as Nikon and Canon offer IS only in additional and expensive lenses. Another feature you get along with the patented, and first, dust reduction system in DSLRs. In body IS has been proven to be as effective as the lens IS. The fact is that since Olympus uses a smaller sensor and in body IS works best with smaller sensors, it made sense to offer IS as a value added feature.

It’s also true that any DSLR you choose will be a quality product that serves you well for years. The main differences tend to be the features offered at a given price point and personal preference. Nikon and Canon have the largest share, with Olympus being the fastest growing brand. Sigma and Leica are known for their quality and the price shows.

Olympus E-520 having difficulties taking photos in the dark, even when ISO is adjusted, Help?

My Olympus E-520 has issues focusing, somewhat. It will blink in the view finder F3.5 - 6o".. Which means that The Subject is too dark. So I adjusted the ISO sensativity, and I OBVIOUSLY was using the flash because it was dark.. But it still wouldn't budge. No picture was taken, just blinked and blinked that the subject is too dark.

This is getting REALLY annoying because even when it isn't that dark, It still says its too dark and nothing seems to work! Please help.
- If I hadn't read the manual, I wouldn't be asking this question!!

The manual has nothing about this problem in it. It just says

"Adjust ISO sensativity, Use flash"

.... Which I did both of in the first place.
