The Olympus E-520 is the successor to the E-510, and builds on what was already a feature-packed DSLR. The core specifications of a 10 Megapixel sensor with built-in stabilisation, Live View and effective anti-dust features remain, but the E-520 now features a slightly bigger 2.7in screen and the addition of contrast-based AF facilities complete with Face Detection. Note, some lenses may need a firmware update to support the contrast-based AF.

Olympus has gone for a retro look, but fitted a decent 2.5in screen and a new version of the legendary Super Sonic Wave Filter to combat dust. Find out if it’s the perfect entry-level DSLR.

E-500 digital SLR delivers 8 Megapixel resolution in a compact body with a 4/3 lens
mount; the sensor size means lenses have their focal length effectively
multiplied by two times. There's shutter speeds from 60 seconds to 1/4000

Olympus Supersonic Wave Filter ensures any dust on the sensor can be shaken
