E-520 or E-510: Can anyone provide some feedback?

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.

What about the ES8228S? Does anyone know anything about it? I noticed it has a guide at the link above, but there is limited comparative information.

It works perfectly with my E-510, so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with your E-620

The short answer is that the 810 is better. The 510 lacks the ability to display maps for your course and do true turn by turn navigation. It does show you courses downloaded onto the unit but doesn't show precisely where you are if you decide to go somewhere off that course. If you're carrying a smart phone it's less of an issue since you can link both the 510 and 810 to maps on your phone. Both units are about the same in terms of looking at your route post-ride. The Garminconnect site, or others like mapmyride will let you slice and dice the data and let you see where you were. The websites are also where you will plan your route. You can't practically plan a route on the 810 itself. I've had the 810 for quite a while now and all-in-all I'm quite satisfied.

I have owned both cameras, and did not find much difference in E520. And no it does not take videos. Frankly I have found my iPhone to be more useful. Nonetheless the Evolts are decent instruments.

Brant,The 2950 has hardware virtualization. When it comes to DEP, the E5440 has an execute disable bit for hardware based DEP and for software based DEP you should look through the support of the OS you are planning to install.

I have a Nikon 5100 and it works great. The 5200 is almost identical it the areas where the Hoodman attaches and there is enough adjustment that it should work fine.

I'm new to Olympus with the OM-D series so I can't speak to your 520 question. If you want to use 4/3 lenses then you need the E-M1 because it has both phase detect (needed for 4/3) and contrast detect (needed by M43) autofocus. 4/3 lenses focus slowly on the E-M5 and it requires an adapter collar.

G510, when I got it on sale, was $75. Well worth the price difference, at the time. If it's not an emergency, just wait a while for the price to go down some on the 510. I don't think it'd be worth $40 difference, to me at least. Also, the G510 does NOT have the USB port on the back that is listed on the G110 - although from reading the G110 comments it seems like it was buggy anyways.

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 Olympus E-510 was rated "the best entry level DSLR" on the Christmas 2007 issue of "What Digital Camera".I had this camera for a couple of weeks and the picture quality is amazing. (make sure to lower the intensity of the noise filter as recommended by most reviewers)

I believe the wu 1a only works on the d5200 not the 5100. I use it on my d3200 and it is pretty slow on my droid and slower with iPad and iphone

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

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.

Yeah, those seem to be the major differences. The non-user-replaceable battery on the new View sucks though...that was one nice feature about the e200 series (as oposed to iPods) and seemed to make complete sense. I have had to use firmware update on my V1 e260 to recover from a crash and it was pretty seamless and I lost no data. V2, I believe, does not support the "recovery mode" firmware update. I have no idea what the parameters of the View are regarding this. Maybe it just never crashes! (not likely...) Other thing is the better stats on the microSD expansion slot...now up to 8 gigs (wow!) and using microSCHC. That's 16 gigs total without a hard-drive. Awesome! I have found, after some initial frustration and confusion with the expansion slot on my e260, that I just never put it in MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode and ALWAYS use it in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. I found moving files with Windows Explorer pretty glitchy in MSC mode. (Windows iExplorer would freeze up or get very strange-acting) Now, I just pull the microSD card, stick in into card reader on my computer (with the full-SD-size adapter) and add files like it was a pen drive. Perfect for podcasts which you switch in and out frequently and perfect for loading stuff for a trip. You could have a second card for you wife's/gf's music or podcasts as well and just swap it out without a Windows session. It DOES mean a much longer boot-up (really "refresh data" after the initial normal bootup...) but I think it's worth it for the flexibility of adding and deleting files so easily. You can always just remove the microSD and not deal with the "refresh-data" wait if you get sick of it. 8 gb of microSD would be nice though! Also, I'd like to hear some objective feedback regarding the sound quality of normal audio with the View as compared to the e280. Is is MUCH better? The e280 has become so inexpensive I may just go for that and wait out the View for another year or two.

I didn't think the iP6600D had reviews that were as good as the iP5200, the text speed, cost and quality being somewhat down. Will be anxious to see the results of your study.
