What would be a good tripod for macro photography that would allow me to mount my camera vertically?
Posted by admin | Under Olympus E520 Sunday Mar 7, 2010I have an Olympus E520. I need to be able to mount is so I can point it straight down and shoot an item in a controlled setting.
Any tripod with a ball head or even a 3-way pan/tilt head should do what you want.

Olympus E-520 time lapse test
Posted by admin | Under Olympus E520 Monday Mar 1, 2010
My first time lapse testOlympus e520 or Canon 1000d (xs)?
Posted by admin | Under Olympus E520 Sunday Feb 28, 2010Which should I buy. The Olympus has better features for the money, built in image stabilization, and, from what I hear, a superior kit lens. But the Canon has more lenses that it is compatible with. What do you think? Also, has anyone tried the Olympus OM lenses on an Olympus DSLR (with an adapter of course)? Does it work well? Are the pictures sharp? (I already know that it would be manual only) Thanks
Does a smaller sensor make a difference at this level? Are there any specific advantages in the Canon crop sensor over the olympus 4/3 sensor?
I personnaly prefer Olympus. You get much more for less money, resulting in a better value overall. Olympus cameras like the E-520 (and E-510 which I own) allow users to select many different presets for scenes or to make manual control, including full manual. The Digital Zuicko lenses were designed form the ground up for digital photography. As such, they have been hailed by several as being superior lenses. Nikon and Canon use adapted film lenses which does allow for older lenses to be used. Yes, you can use an adapter for the OM lenses on the new cameras. They work fine, though I do find the quality of the new lenses to be better. All of my OM lenses were manual anyway, so that was a non-issue for me.
The reason Nikon and others use image stabilization in the lenses dates to their film lenses. Nikon and Canon had image stabilized lenses first for film cameras. As a result, they continue the trend. It also means they can charge significantly more for those lenses. Olympus and other companies put the IS in the camera, and it works with any lens, even lenses that require an adapter. You simply select the focal length and there you go. As for which is better, neither is. It has been shown by too many unbiased sources that both types of IS are too close to call a winner. Personally, I like it in the camera.
The sensor size issue is overdone, it does not make that much of a difference. The biggest down side of a smaller sensor is more noise at really high ISO. I am talking well above 1200. A benefit is that Olympus is the leader in noise reduction technology. Look at some comparisons at dpreview.com. I personally don’t have an image, including night shots and cave shots, that went over 800 ISO, so there is plenty of room to dial it up further. I know people with Nikons, Canons, and other brands. They are always impressed by the quality of my images. They, too, bought into the size difference. Once they say how the quality did not suffer, they were apologetic.
Olympus also makes some of the fastest writing cameras on the market, as well as the smallest and lightest. I was on a long tour and having a smaller, lighter camera was a definite advantage. Less fatigue, especially if use live view.
One advantage of the 2X crop factor in Olympus cameras is for wildlife photography. That’s a major reason Professional Photographer Mitsuaki Iwago, who has been on the cover of National Geographic, chose Olympus. It gets you closer to your subject. In wildlife photography, that’s a plus.
Pulitzer Prize winner Jay Dickman also chose Olympus. NASA also chose the Olympus E-1 for an official space mission. As you can see, professionals find the quality of Olympus perfectly fine for their careers.

this is speed of olympus I recently bought an olympus e520 DSLR and i have a problem with the flash blinking continously?
Posted by admin | Under Olympus E520 Sunday Feb 21, 2010The flash just rapidly flashes when i don’t use the live view to take a photo. does anyone have any idea on how to turn it off??
Help would be mucly appreciated
Thanks =D
If the E-520 flashes when you fully press down on the shutter release button, then it’s the red-eye reduction feature that can be deactivated by following the instructions provided above. If it flashes when you half-press the shutter release button, then what you’re seeing is the flash helping the camera focus. The camera is set, by default, to strobe when there’s not enough light to autofocus effectively. To turn this feature off, navigate to Setup menu 1 (Spanner 1) and set "AF Illuminator" to "OFF".
Note: you may notice a decrease in AF performance in low light situations. AF operation can be improved if you manually focus the lens to a distance proximate to your subject beforehand. Make sure that your subject is adequately lit, the camera is set to center point AF, and that you are using the AF system correctly to increase performance. Olympus’ hotshoe flash units (FL36, FL36R, FL50, and FL50R) have dedicated illuminators that provide the same function as the strobing light, but without the irritation.
