Olympus DSLR cameras are more for professional photographers than amateurs.
Slim & compact yet backing a powerful 10x optical zoom lens with 28mm wide angle shooting, the E-520 also offers HD Movie recording at the touch of a button. Further, a new, practical, internal USB charging capability means that you can charge your E-520 directly by connecting it to your PC. No need to remove the battery or worry about taking a bulky battery charger and separate cable in your luggage.
