Thanks for the info on the e-520 I was thinking about getting a back up camera and was going to get the 520. I will stay with the 510 since it has given me absolutely beautiful pictures. I have the 14-54 on my camera 80 percent of the time and it is a great combo, along with the fl-36 flash. I will be getting the 11-22 zuiko lens next.

Do you have olympus lenses or will this be your first slr? If it's your first I would say go with the 520 if you have the extra cash. I have the e 510 and use it for everything. I just used it for a wedding and the pictures were amazing! I would put the e-510 up against any other camera on the market in the under $1000 class. The 520 has some features that are tying to attract more point-n-shooters, like face detection with the live view. It also has upgrades that ofcourse we haven't seen so we won't know if they make a big enough difference. If you can wait get the 520, if not the e-510 with the 14-54 lens is a great combo, you can't go wrong with either one. Do you have olympus lenses or will this be your first slr?

The 520 seems nice but, I think I'll go with the e-510 when I get a back up. Olympus has the best lenses in my opinion.

After all I have read about the 520, I went with another e-510 as a backup camera. If you want the e-510 make sure you get one now, they stopped making this camera. So once it's gone thats it.

Here are a couple of reviews that might help. I am torn on the same decision (though leaning toward the 520). I'd be interested to know what you decide and why.http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Olympus-E-520http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/olympus/e520-review/index.shtml

Hi D. Brodsky. I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. What did you end up getting, E1 or E2? What's your opinioin? Thanks, Tony

I really don't know anything about the 5200.I only know that the 3300 does whatever I need it to do for me. Photography is only a hobby for me. I've had other cameras and this one is great for me

Well I actually was the one who did a review of E2 and comparison, if you go to E2 this would be the most popular review. Please note though that more than 6 months passed, and I think Sanyo have updated E2 with yet another model, WH1. I have not tried WH1 so I have no idea about how it stucks up to E2 and E1.

Good question. I still have my EM10 and added an E-M1. Pretty tempting on the EM5 for that price. Wish I could be of more help.

Emily, the reasons most of the reviews are old is because this is an *old* model - it came out in 2010. In January, the tech inside will be five years old. I'm going to spend a bit more and get one of the newer models, like the ESAM5600SL

I just bought the A570IS a few days ago without seeing this alternative, so I hope I'm not wasting my money by not getting a better camera for pennies more! We shall see, I guess. Sometime next week I'll let u know if I was impressed with the A570IS.. (all of my friends have told me it's great, btw).

I've had both and like the 520 better. It has more zoom and a nice squared off retro look. Also the buttons on the back of the 520 stick out so you can actually press them. On the 110 the buttons are flush and you have to look to find them and possibly use your fingernail. The 520 comes with a bigger battery, 870mAh while the 110 comes with a 680mAh battery. This camera is just plain more fun to me anyway.

Thanks for all of that information. My son is into every gadget out there. I know that they have three laptops and one desktop running in the house right now. However, when I ask him to help me with something all of a sudden he does not know. Who paid for his school anyway?? Back on subject, if all of the computers all over the house can use the router should I get the 560 or the 460. They are practially the same price now.You have all been very kind in helping the "old person" out with this.I really do appreciate it.

Technology Guy, Thanks very much for your input. Given that the EF-530 costs less and has more features than the 430EX II, would you be inclined to purchase this, or is the sturdiness of the 430EX II most important from your vantage point, even if it means slightly less capability? I doubt that I will utilize all that the EF-530 offers given my amateur status, but if it costs less, this makes it more attractive ... unless lower cost is paired with poorer reliability and performance. Does my question make sense? I'm just trying to get inside your head on this one since this truly is my dilemma. Thanks again. Technology Guy, Thanks very much for your input.

I don't know how it compares with the e1200 as I never had that. However, I figured for the extra $20, sounded worth the risk. All I can say is that I have a big house and the E1500 is excellent. I can get perfect reception anywhere in the house (and even outside on a patio), a problem I used to have. I am happy.

Well... the word better is subjective as your personal taste in what you feel or experience when you use this types of devices is different for each individual. I cant compare them to the SE535 as I have never used them before. I can just say that the SE846 are out of this world and I have been blown away. Maybe try to locate a store that have both in stock and give them a try. Good luck in your decision.

I can only reply that the 500 is wonderful and gets great definition with zoom. Can't compare it to 510 as I do not have that one.

Khaled,Thanks for such a detailed comment. It certainly helped me. I did buy the Evolt 510 and am pleased with it so far. I must say I never had an issue with the quality of photos from my Canon Rebel X, I just wanted the extra features which I love. Also, I ahve ordered some more lenses, a wide angle and a 2x telephoto. They probably not the best quality but are all I can afford right now.Again, thanks for your thoughts,

You might have a lemon. I have the 520 and has no problem with it. Images are sharp and good. I don't have a 200mm+ lens so I haven't tried that. I have tried up to 150mm without any problem.

I do not think this is too much camera for a beginner. There are excellent tutorials available to teach you how to use the camera. It is a wonderful model and I highly recommend it. I also looked at the 5200; however, I wanted a titanium body instead of plastic. The 5200 is very light and is a great camera. I wanted a higher quality of body and decided to go with the 7100. I have not been disappointed at all. Go ahead and spend the extra. You will not regret it. You are buying the best and it will provide a lifetime of memories through pictures.

Thanks Grandmother Philip:-). I also wanted to know the difference between 460 & 560. Too bad there's not a place on the internet wherein you could type the different makes/models for comparison purposes.
