I am not sure if it was eating too much lead paint as a kid or living under power lines all those years, but I cannot hold a camera steady to save my life.  Sure most new camera’s have some sort of image stabilization feature and there is always the old string and a washer trick, but that only works if you are holding the camera horizontally.  The Olympus E-520 is the first shooter to add vertical stabilization as well to help eliminate all those blurry pictures.  The E-520 also sports a 10 MP LIVE-MOS Sensor, HyperCrystal II LCD, automatic face detection and wireless flash capabilities.  The body starts at just under $600 making the E-520 a great option for a back-up or weekend camera for us power line kids.
