Olympus today updated its E-series cameras with the E-520. Replacing the E-510, the new 10-megapixel digital SLR mirrors changes brought to the earlier E-420 with a larger 2.7-inch LCD and a much more advanced live preview feature: photographers can not only use autofocusing but also see the effects of changes to exposure and white balance before taking the shot. The camera also shoots faster, at up to 3.5 frames per second, and includes both face detection and shadow compensation to bring out detail in darker areas. Other additions include wireless flash support and an upgraded image stabilization feature that not only better compensates for unintentional shifts but can be told to watch primarily horizontal or vertical movement. The E-520 ships in July and will be priced at the same level as starter DSLRs like the Nikon D60. A basic, body-only unit will sell for $600, while a kit with a starter 14-42mm lens will sell for $700.

Olympus has also taken the opportunity of the E-520’s launch to introduce a stand-alone, 9-18mm, f/4.0-5.6 lens designed for very wide angle shots. It supports all cameras with Olympus’ mounting system and will ship in the fall for $600 by itself.

The Snap concept has been designed by Young Hwan Kim and it is basically a Sony Cybershot camera featuring a snap cover that pivots to let the user take photographs. What this essentially does is, the cover makes the camera look very chic and it’s leather clad outer surface makes the Cybershot look almost like a wallet. So you can now safely tuck it into your pocket, which makes the Cybershot Snap very handy and functional. Apart from aesthetics and a little bit of convenience, the Snap feature has no other real function.

They also share the same dimensions, and come in a choice of all black or silver with a brown leather grip. In the C850, the screen is slightly bigger, at 2.7 inches versus 2.5.

BenQ’s image stabilization technology, as well as individual exposure, aperture, manual and program modes along with a maximum ISO 1600 setting are other common features. Two AA batteries power either new C-series camera.
