Jim- I was given as a birthday gift, one of the new E520s with 14-45mm f/3.5 kit lenses. Took it out west to Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and the Badlands. The images I got back were totally flat. Lacked contrast, sharpness and just plain awfull. I also took along my Nikon D80 which produced super images. I set up the E520 just like my Nikon but to no avail. The Oly images loo.kalmost surreal and artificial, however it was my first card with a 4/3's camera. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. The camera has some great features. Perhaps I'm using the IS wrong. I'm totally perplexed. Anyone out there had this experience?

Has anyone used this new model Olympus camera yet ?Was given this as a gift right before trip to Yellowstone

Park recently and was extremely disappointed with the images. Also brought along my old reliable Nikon D80. Oly

pictures were not sharp and looked almost artificial. They had no "pop" to them; very little contrast and dull to say

the least . I have had 8 years of experience with digital photography, and am quite sure I set up the camera properly.

It is my first experience with 4/3's photography. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? I know this is a long shot and

difficult at best without seeing the images. Is ther a special way to set up these cameras? Perhaps I'm using the IS

improperly...HELP
