I have a pretty much brand new DSLR, Olympus E-520 with built in image stabilization (rare in camera) and 2 lenses! One is a Wider angle 14-42mm and the other is a telezoom 40-150mm and both come with lens hoods which come in very helpful shooting outside.

Reason for sale-Need money for a bike project I have

I honestly love the camera, it's in perfect visual and mechanical condition. Comes with everything you need except a $15 memory card which you probably already have.

For Beginners-Takes absolutely stunning pictures, imo. They come out nice, much better than the Canon 350D I used to have. The adjustments are easy to work with, especially in raw function and they come out very crisp and clear with settings for natural/vivid/etc colors. I believe theres over 20 modes to take pictures in, down to fireworks/night portraits/etc. Screen is supposed to be one of the bests on any camera, 2.7" I believe, so fairly big.

BUILT-IN IMAGE STABILIZATION.

The E-520's in-body Mechanical Image Stabilization has three modes for increased versatility. The IS-1 mode adjusts the sensor on both the X and Y-axes to compensate for movement by the photographer, so images stay sharp even at slow shutter speeds. To capture the action of athletes or animals, in-body Mechanical Image Stabilization offers two specialized modes: IS-2 and IS-3. IS-2 is ideal for capturing a racecar flying down the track -- by panning and holding the camera horizontally you can dramatically portray the car's high speed. For sharp images of moving subjects like a basketball player charging up the court, IS-3 allows a photographer the option of holding the camera vertically while panning for dramatic effects of action. The artistic effects of panning enhance the shot and render the subject in sharp detail with a motion-blurred background.
AUTOFOCUS WITH LIVE VIEW.

Two innovative technologies merge to create a unique digital experience. The E-520's on-screen Autofocus works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects, in focus, on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way. And the Live View LCD enables photographers to hold the camera away from their faces and at angles they cannot easily reach by using the optical viewfinder alone.
SHADOW ADJUSTMENT TECHNOLOGY.

Shooting scenes with shadows can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark and bright areas. The E-520 addresses this challenge with Shadow Adjustment Technology that compensates for extreme contrast when shadowed areas lack visible detail. Shadow Adjustment Technology adjusts the exposure in the shadows while retaining all the detail in the bright areas. This technology works automatically when using Face Detection Mode, Live View and in Scene-Select Modes.
FACE DETECTION.

The E-520's Face Detection feature distinguishes between people's faces and the background and is shown right on the LCD. This innovative technology tracks up to eight faces within the image area and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
10 MEGAPIXELS.

Get amazingly detailed, colorful and clear images with the 10-megapixel Live-MOS image sensor. This high-resolution sensor captures all the detail needed to make large prints, or even crop without losing detail. The E-520 sensor's high dynamic range, accurate color rendition and low noise characteristics let you capture great images, even at high ISO settings.
DUST REDUCTION.

Life moves too fast to spend time worrying about dust ruining your images. Olympus' proven Dust Reduction System produces spot-free photos with the exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter™. The patented ultrasonic technology vibrates to remove dust and other particles from the front of the image sensor and captures it on a special adhesive membrane every time the camera is turned on. Change lenses in anytime, anywhere, without worry.
2.7" HYPERCRYSTAL II LCD.

New and Improved HyperCrystal™ II Technology delivers twice the contrast and better viewing in extreme lighting conditions, a broader range of color detail, and a wider angle of view on the LCD so you and your friends can see it up to 176 degrees off-center.
20 SCENE-SELECT MODES.

With 20 preset scene-select modes for every imaginable shooting scenario from underwater photography to fireworks, and program, automatic modes and full manual controls, the E-520 offers a world of possibilities to photographers.
PERFECT SHOT PREVIEW.

Perfect Shot Preview enables you to view and select your favorite effect right on the LCD, and see how the image will look before you even capture it, so you know that what you see is what you get.
TRUEPIC III.

The 10.1 megapixel E-520's TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal-clear photos with accurate color, true-to-life flesh tones, brilliant blue skies and precise tonal representation. TruePic III also lowers image noise by one step to reduce graininess in images shot at higher ISO settings, enabling great results in low-light situations.
WIRELESS FLASH.

If you decide to try your hand at advanced lighting techniques, the E-520 is ready to meet the challenge. The E-520 is compatible with the Olympus FL-50R and FL-36R wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for digital photography. When these flashes are used in combination with the E-520, wireless multi-flash photography is possible.

 

Olympus.. interesting....

You should show unedited pictures though

glws! I want a bike.

 

The pictures are very mildy edited, just a little sharpened and slight saturation and shadow adjustment, nothing major. And then I changed the sky in the evo pic and added gradient in the Silvia picture. I can help teach the buyer how to do natural edits

 

I've got a bike, so I can use a camera now. and I'm in va. Northern va. If your interested in lowering the price some p/m me or email

Regarding the Olympus comment, my family's been an Olympus family for a while and they make quality stuff so I went with it and I'm pretty impressed with there quality.
