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.

Thank you! This was really helpful. I'm going with the ET-60, hope to test it out this weekend!

I am hoping to use this on an E-510 with their 50mm macro lens and extension tube which have 52mm threads and a 52-58mm adapter. Assuming you purchased this flash, are you using the same set-up and what has been your experience? If anyone else is using this with a similar Olympus camera, I'd like your comments also.

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

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.

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.

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 would have to agree with the previous review.i used 510 for a year and i began having some problems with static. this turned out to be a device issue and not a problem with the 510. however, i changed to the 520 thinking it would be an upgrade. the 520 has some issues with static when the paired device moves around, and in general i noticed a drop in the audio quality. i'm selling the 520 and moving back to the 510.

I honsetly don't know, I have the 5200. Customer service should be able to advise you.

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.

JonW - To be honest, I never ended up making the purchase due to the fact that my wife gave birth to our first children, twins...and my "spare" time has all but vanished, at least for the last year. I will always have the need though so I appreciate F. Rush's insights, they are helpful as I do intend to purchase a scanner in the future. I have had my eyes on the 9000f since its release and if I were making this purchase right now that is likely the direction I would go. I wish you luck in deciding and please keep me updated with your choice and feedback.

Thank you for the advise. I did check and it appears that the 521 is slightly larger than the 520.Thanks again!

Olympus dust removal is far superior, compared to any other Dslr's on the market.I'm changing lenses on my "Oly" quite often and never had any visible dust in my photos.So if you're going to switch lenses a lot, then Olympus is the right choice for you.You wrote: "When looking at the features of the Olympus E-510 vs. the XSi it is quite interesting as the E-510 has many similar features like: live view, dust removal, image stabilization." Canon never had & probably never will have "in body image stabilization", if that's what you're suggesting.They make lenses with IS - image stabilization and you have to pay extra for it every time you invest in a new glass.I hope this helps a little bit.BRN Olympus dust removal is far superior, compared to any other Dslr's on the market.I'm changing lenses on my "Oly" quite often and never had any visible dust in my photos.So if you're going to switch lenses a lot, then Olympus is the right choice for you.You wrote: "When looking at the features of the Olympus E-510 vs. the XSi it is quite interesting as the E-510 has many similar features like: live view, dust removal, image stabilization."

at least one big difference is the HDMI switching. 6200 is the winner hands down. 5200 is pass through without sound as I understand it.

I can see no difference in the two models. Don't know what the E designation means.

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.
