    E-520 Specific features

    • Built-in image stabilization for max. 4 EV-step compensation
    • Stabilize images for vertical panning thanks to new IS Mode

    The big brother to the E-420 brings 3 major features -

    1. Image Stabilization - IS greatly helps hold the lens steady in non ideal situations.
    2. Longer battery life - The E-520 can capture between 550 and 650 frames per charge, instead of 450-500, as on the E-420, from my experience.
    3. Underwater case - Underwater housing allows for a whole new world of photography.
