However, the only DSLR Olympus now manufacture is an enormous price so when I saw this secondhand one advertised, I splashed and bought it for the body, even though I don't really need the lens that came with it. I received two different notifications of arrival dates from Amazon and even then it arrived two days before the earlier one given- It was well packed and all in order with battery, charger and flash card. The dealer (to whom I wrote on receipt) was very rapid and thorough and comes highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just like new *by A***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2015* Perfect only one concern bought for brother cant read german instructions in manual other wise no matter how hard I looked could find no mark of usage ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ e520 *by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2010* camera arrived quickly in excellent condition as new works great all manuals and cd's included very good buy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/186793216-olympus-e-520-d-slr-camera-10mp-2-7-inch](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/186793216-olympus-e-520-d-slr-camera-10mp-2-7-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
